Mel Columcille Gerard GibsonAO (born January 3, 1956)[2] is anAmericanactor andfilm director.[3][4][5][6] He is mostly known for his roles inaction. Among his most famous roles are inMad Max (1979),Gallipoli (1981),The Bounty (1984),Lethal Weapon (1987), andBraveheart (1995).[2] He directedThe Passion of the Christ in 2004. He loosely based it on the visions of St.Catherine Emmerich.

Gibson was born inPeekskill, New York,United States. His father,Hutton Gibson, was a veteran soldier duringWorld War II, and was also a famous writer. His family moved to Australia in 1968, when he was 12.[7] He studied acting at theNational Institute of Dramatic Art inSydney. He also has Irish citizenship.[8]

During the 1980s, Gibson foundedIcon Entertainment, a production company, whichAtom Egoyan described as "an alternative to the studio system". When director Peter Weir cast him as a major character inWorld War I dramaGallipoli, he earned a Best Actor from theAustralian Film Institute Awards,[9] which cemented him as an serious, versatile and recognisable actor.

In 1995, Gibson received theAcademy Award for Best Picture and theAcademy Award for Best Director for his work onBraveheart. He later directed and producedThe Passion of the Christ in 2004, acontroversial[10] drama regardingJesus, which was viewed asantisemitic by many people. Allegations of antisemitism andracism by Gibson led to a downfall in his career,[11] and later revived his career, particularly with the 2016’sHacksaw Ridge, which won two Academy Awards[12][13] and was nominated for an additional four.

He is ofIrish descent, and the second son ofHutton Gibson, awriter, and Irish-born Anne Patricia (nee Reilly, died 1990).[14][15] Gibson’s paternal grandmother wasopera contraltoEva Mylott (1875–1920), who was born inAustralia, to Irish parents,[16] while his paternal grandfather, John Hutton Gibson, was amillionaire andtobaccobusinessman from theSouth.[17][18]

One of Gibson's younger brothers, Donal, is also anactor.[19] Gibson's first name is derived from St. Mel’s Cathedral, located in his mother's hometown ofLongford, Ireland.[20] His second name,Colmcille,[21] is also shared with an Irishsaint. Because of his mother, Gibson possesses dual Irish and Americancitizenship.[22] Gibson is also anAustralian permanentresident.[23][24]

Gibson's father was awarded US$145,000 in a work-related-injury lawsuit against theNew YorkCentral Railroad onValentine's Day, 1968, and soon afterwards relocated his family toWest Pymble, Sydney, Australia.[25] Gibson was twelve at the time. The move to his grandmother's native Australia was foreconomic reasons, and his father's expectation that theAustralian Defence Force would reject his eldest son for thedraft during theVietnam War.[26]

During his years inhigh school, Gibson was educated by members of theCongregation of Christian Brothers atSt Leo’s Catholic College inWahroonga,New South Wales.[27][28]
