Mel Gibsonin Milo-poika peri isänsä ulkonäön ja näyttelijän taidot

Jou 13, 2020 by apost team

Mel Gibson on nauttinut parrasvaloista vuosikymmenten ajan, mutta vasta hiljattain aikuisikään ehtinyt poika Milo Gibson on astellut isänsä jalanjäljissä kirkkaisiin valoihin. Milo vietti verrattain normaalin lapsuuden ja aikuisuuden, kunnes päätti lähteä näyttelijän uralle. Nyt Milo on kasvanut aikuiseksi ja seuraa isänsä jalanjälkiä.

Pääroolien mies sitten 1980-luvun, Mel Gibson ei ainoastaan ole kuuluisa näyttelijä elokuvista Mad Max, Braveheart, The Patriot, ja What Women Want, mutta myös menestynyt ohjaaja, joka on ohjannut elokuvatBraveheart, The Passion of the Christ, ja Apocalypto.

Lisäksi miehellä on yhdeksän lasta kolmesta eri suhteesta. Yksi lapsista, poika nimeltä Milo Gibson, on seurannut isänsä jalanjäljissä ja valloittaa nyt Hollywoodia! 30-vuotias Milo on Melin ja tämän ensimmäisen vaimon Robyn Mooren poika. Milo syntyi 16. marraskuuta 1990 Australiassa, mutta kasvoi Yhdysvalloissa — toisin kuin kuuluisa isänsä, joka syntyi 3. tammikuuta 1956 Yhdysvalloissa, mutta kasvoi Australiassa!

But before we meet Milo Gibson, let's go back to the beginning. Born in the U.S., specifically Peekskill, New York, Mel Gibson was the sixth of 11 children to parents Hutton Gibson and Anne Patricia. His father was a writer and would go on to be a "Jeopardy!" grand champion in 1968. After Hutton Gibson was awarded a large payout in a work-related injury lawsuit in 1968, the family relocated to Sydney, Australia. The move wasn't completely random — Mel Gibson's paternal grandmother was opera singer Eva Mylott, who had been born there, although her family background was Irish.

It was in Australia that Mel Gibson got his acting start, studying at the prestigious National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA). Training mostly in the British theater-tradition, he acted in many plays, but upon graduating in 1977, Mel Gibson was immediately cast in the film "Mad Max." While the movie would go on to incredible fame later on, in the meantime Mel Gibson eschewed further movie work in order to work as an actor in the theater in Adelaide for a season.

It was while living there that he met his first wife Robyn Moore Gibson. The couple would go on to be together for decades, marrying in 1980 and having their first child together that year. They had seven children in total but their relationship ended in divorce in 2011, with Robyn Moore Gibson entitled to half of her former husband's $850 million fortune.

Meanwhile, back in the early '80s after Mel Gibson had begun to work in the Australian film and theater industry, he continued shooting movies and his career only continued to grow after he appeared in films such as "Gallipoli," "The Year of Living Dangerously" and two "Mad Max" sequels — "Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior" and "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome." It was around this point in the mid-'80s that he and his wife packed up their belongings and moved to Hollywood. But unlike other hopefuls who are often unlucky in a new land, Mel Gibson's career only continued to climb. It was around this time that critics began to draw comparisons between Mel Gibson and other famous actors of the past including Steve McQueen, Cary Grant, Sean Connery, Robert Redford and even "a combination of Clark Gable and Humphrey Bogart." Needless to say, he had piqued the interest of film reviewers and audiences alike.

After a few movies in Hollywood, he landed the role of Martin Riggs in "Lethal Weapon," which only cemented his leading man status in Hollywood. A sequel, "Lethal Weapon 2," followed, as well as many other movies. By the 1990s, Mel Gibson was one of Hollywood's leading men and it was around this time that he began to focus on directing as well as acting.

But while Mel Gibson was on top of the world in his career, his personal life was flourishing too. He and Robyn Moore Gibson had already had a number of children including their eldest child Hannah Gibson, who was born in 1980, Christian Gibson, born in 1982, twins Edward and William Gibson in 1985, Louie Gibson in 1988, and Milo Gibson in 1990. The couple would go on to have one more child together, a son named Thomas Gibson, who was born a number of years after Milo Gibson. 

Interestingly, Mel Gibson's passion for the entertainment industry has been passed on to more than just his son Milo Gibson. Although Hannah Gibson didn't choose to pursue a career in acting like her famous father, she did follow him into show business, working as a makeup artist on his film "What Women Want." Like his older sister, Christian Gibson also chose to work in the industry, however not in front of the lens but behind it. He works as a camera operator and has even worked on his dad's movies "Hacksaw Ridge" and "Daddy's Home 2."

Twins Edward and William Gibson have bucked the family trend, however, choosing to live their lives outside of the spotlight. Louis Gibson is another one of Mel and Robyn Moore Gibson's kids who have followed their famous father into his line of work. He also prefers to stay behind the camera and has co-written and co-directed the 2017 movie "Happy Hunting." Then there's Milo Gibson, who's perhaps the most famous of his siblings. He starred with his dad in "Hacksaw Ridge" and is set to appear in "Manifest West" — which is co-directed by none other than his brother Louie Gibson! Lastly, there's Thomas Gibson, who just graduated from college in 2017, but his career aspirations — whether he'll follow his family's lineage into Hollywood or choose a more private life — are not yet known.

But the new millennium also brought a lot of change to Mel Gibson's life, both professionally and personally. After dominating the '90s and early '00s in Hollywood, Mel Gibson's work naturally slowed down, but a series of controversial incidents got him dropped by his talent agency and his projects were put on hold. It was also around this time that he and his wife divorced, leading to what is considered the most expensive divorce in Hollywood history.

While his first marriage was undergoing divorce proceedings, Mel Gibson began dating Russian pianist Oksana Grigorieva, with whom he had his eighth child, Lucia Gibson, who was born in 2009. However, the relationship was not meant to be and didn't last long, while it was mired in messy allegations that only brought about more controversy to Mel Gibson's life.

Then in 2014, Mel Gibson's luck began to turn around as he met his current partner and former equestrian, Rosalind Ross. The couple welcomed a daughter in 2017 named Lars Gibson, the actor's ninth child, and the couple is still going strong. It was also around this time that his career began to get back on track, as he appeared in "The Expendables 3" opposite Sylvester Stallone and in 2016 released "Hacksaw Ridge" to great acclaim.

Finally appearing settled after years of turbulence in his personal and professional life, Mel Gibson was asked about his relationship with Rosalind Ross and their 34-year age gap. Speaking to The Mirror, he said:

“Regarding age and relationships, it’s just a number. We dig each other. She is an adult and we dig each other. It might cause a problem and one has a trepidation about these things, but it’s working out great. She is a really special person. I dig her. So there you go. That’s it. What more can one ask?”

The proud dad of nine children has even found time to make jokes about how many offspring he's had. Upon welcoming his ninth kid into the world, he joked to Entertainment Tonight about having more kids than Clint Eastwood, who's equally known for his large family. He said:

“I was talking to Clint the other day. I said, ‘How many kids you got?’ He said, ‘Eight.’ So I’m beating him.”

Milo on perinyt isänsä mainion ulkonäön - yhdennäköisyys on silmiinpistävä. Näyttelijän debyytti nähtiin elokuvassa Hacksaw Ridge, jonka ohjauksesta vastasi isä Mel. Hän kertoi Entertainment Tonight -haastattelussa:

"Oli hauskaa työskennellä hänen kanssaan. Kaikki toimi hyvin näyttelijä-ohjaaja suhteessa."

Sittemmin Milo on esiintynyt elokuvassa Gangster Land rikollispomo Al Caponen roolissa, All the Devil's Men -elokuvassa, ja pääroolissa elokuvassa Hurricane.

Vaikka Milo työskenteleekin nyt perheensä kanssa samalla alalla, näyttelijän työ ei suinkaan aina ole viehättänyt. Itse asiassa mies kävi läpi melko tavanomaisia urapolkuja ennen Hollywoodiin hyppäämistä.

Samaisessa Entertainment Tonight -keskusteluohjelman haastattelussa Milo kertoi ryhtyneensä lukion jälkeen muutamaksi vuodeksi hierontaterapeutiksi. Hierontaterapeutti ei ole A-listan ammatti, mutta epäilemättä hyödyllinen. Mutta vaihdettuaan uraa odottamattomalla tavalla, Milo ryhtyi sähkömieheksi ja toimi tehtävässä viiden vuoden ajan! Mies kertoi työn olleen hauskaa, mutta ei loppu elämää varten. Lopulta mies vaihtoi näyttelemisen pariin.

Haastattelussa The Hollywood Reporter -lehden kanssa Milo keskusteli hypystään sähkömiehestä näyttelijäksi, sekä avasi tulevaisuuden suunnitelmia näyttelemisen saralla:

"Kun minä ja veljeni Louis olimme lapsia — hän työskentelee nyt ohjaajana — kuvasimme jatkuvasti kotivideoita, joissa minä toimin näyttelijänä ja veljeni ohjaajana. Niin kaikki alkoi, mutta sitten siirryin eteenpäin - näytteleminen ei aina ollut mielessä. Luulen, että halusin kokeilla erilaisia asioita. Isäni tai muut eivät koskaan vaikuttaneet mielipiteisiini. "

Milo kertoi, kuinka halu elää ilman katumuksia vaikutti päätökseen:

"Mutta kyllä se oli mielen päällä, kenties näytteleminen olisi jotakin, jota voisin jonain päivänä kokeilla. Ja eräänä päivänä ajattelin, tiedäthän, etten halua olla 60-vuotias ja katua tekemättä jättämistä - luulen, että monet ihmiset katuvat asioita elämässään - en halunnut olla yksi heistä."

Siinäpä vasta vaikuttava ansioluettelo - tämä mies kykenee kuvaamaan toimintakohtauksia ja palaamaan takaisin kotiin korjaamaan valoja JA antamaan hieronnan. Mikä unelma!

On selvää, että aikuisuus on Milolle etu näyttelijän uralle suunnatessa. Perhe tulee jättämään taakseen näyttelijäntyön perinnön - ja nyt Milo vaikuttaa tietävän, mitä todella haluaa elämässään tehdä. Odotamme innolla näkevämme Miloa enemmänkin elokuvissa ja kenties jonain päivänä myös ohjaajan roolissa isänsä lailla. Ehkä onni potkaisee meitä ja saamme todistaa isän ja pojan vaihtavan keskenään rooleja!

Mitä ikinä Milo päättääkään tehdä, lienee paikallaan olla kärsivällinen ja katsoa mitä kolmikymppinen näyttelijä keksii tulevaisuudessa. Tiedämme vain, että mies saattaa suunnata takaisin hierontaterapeutin tai sähkömiehen uralle. On kuitenkin selvää, että lahjakasta nuorta miestä kannattaa seurata tulevaisuudessa, vaikka Hollywood -tähteyttä ei saavutettaisikaan.
