Although he gained a great reputation by filming the drama Braveheart, Mel Gibson hasn’t always stayed on top. The brilliant actor and filmmaker has fallen out of sight many times due to problems with the press. In the middle of the 2000s, he had alcohol problems. Moreover, he made extreme statements on religious issues, bringing a deluge of criticism.

It seemed like his star in the Hollywood firmament would never be as bright as it had been in distant 1990. 2017 has come. Mel Gibson won an Oscar and a Golden Globe for the successful Hacksaw Ridge, which let him reclaim his former fame and admiration.
