Mel Gibson: ‘If You Don’t Care, It’s Great’

Last year Mel Gibson conducted a rare interview with Ceska Televize in the Czech Republic.  Good for the Czechs but hard to get a handle of if you didn’t speak the language.  The full interview has now surfaced online in video format.  You can watch it right here,  Embedding is disabled.

In the interview Mel covers a range of things from acting, to getting tips from Clint Eastwood on how to direct his first movie.

The interviewer also brings up a history of people going after Mel, even around the time of Braveheart, but also in the present.  Gibson laughs it off, obviously not giving a fuck but also finding it somewhat humorous.  “I’m used to it”.  More words from the GOAT?  “If you don’t care, it’s great”.

Thankfully the interviewer treats the man with respect, it’s almost like a pre-2006 interview with Gibson talking mostly about directing, techniques he prefers and so forth.  Mel’s next movie is the upcoming Blood Father, due out later this year, then onto directing the WW2 thriller Hacksaw Ridge.
