Mel Gibsons son Milo har ärvt sin fars snygga utseende och hans skådespelartalang

Nov 10, 2020 by apost team

Mel Gibson har varit i rampljuset i flera decennier, men det är bara nu nyligen som hans vuxna son Milo Gibson har hamnat framför alla kameror. Och detta eftersom Milo har haft en vanlig uppväxt, och han började sitt vuxenliv med ett vanligt jobb innan han vände sig till skådespelaryrket. Och nu som vuxen när han följer i sin fars fotspår går det knappt att särskilja på de två!

Han hade huvudroller sen 1980-talet, Mel Gibson är inte bara en känd skådespelare från movies including Mad Max, Braveheart, The Patriot, och What Women Want, utan han är även en lyckad regissör, han regisserade Braveheart, The Passion of the Christ, och Apocalypto.

Han är även en familjeman med nio barn från tre relationer. En av Hans barn, en son som heter Milo Gibson, har följt i sin fars fotspår och tar nu över Hollywood! Milo, som blir 30 i år, är son till Mel och hans första fru Robyn Moore. Han föddes den 16:e november, 1990 I Australien men växte upp i USA — motsatsen från hans kända far, vilken föddes den 3:e januari, 1956, i USA, men växte upp i landet där under!

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 får sitt snygga yttre från sin far, och det är riktigt läskigt hur lika de är. Han gjorde sin första skådespelardebut i filmen Hacksaw Ridge, vilken hans far Mel var regissör på. Han berättade för Entertainment Tonight i en intervju:

"Det var riktigt kul att jobba med honom. Det var en riktig skådespelare-regissör relation."

Sen dess har han haft roller i Gangster Land,där han spelade kriminalbossen Al Capone, iAll the Devil's Men, och han hade även en stor roll i filmen Hurricane.

Milo ville inte egentligen bli en skådespelare i början och han valde istället några riktigt ovanliga karriärvägar på sin resa mot Hollywood som ledande mannen.

Milo förklarar i samma intervju med Entertainment Tonight att han blev en massageterapeut efter gymnasiet och jobbade med det i två år, något som inte riktigt ses som ett A-klassat yrke, men som är väldigt användbart. Sen bytte han dock karriär till något ännu mer oväntat — Milo blev en elektriker och jobbade med det i fem år! Han berättar att det var riktigt roligt, men inget han ville syssla med för resten av sitt liv. Varför han bytte till skådespeleriet till slut.

Milo talar i en intervju med The Hollywood Reporterom sitt hopp från elektriker till skådespelare, och om han ville agera när han växte upp:

"Jag tror när jag och min bror Louis var barn — han är regissör nu — så gjorde vi olika videos hemma hela tiden där jag var skådespelaren och han regissören. Så det var liksom där det började, men så kom jag ifrån det — det var inget som låg högst på listan för mig. Jag tror att jag ville prova på andra grejer som jag hade intresse för. Det var aldrig någon press från min far eller något sånt."

Milo berättar vidare om hur han ville leva sitt liv utan ångest och att det var det som påverkade hans beslut:

"Men det fanns absolut där i bakhuvudet, typ att det kanske var något som jag ville göra [längre fram]. Och en dag kände jag, jag vill inte bli 60 och ångra mig att jag inte gjorde det — jag tror att många människor ångrar mycket i livet — och jag ville inte bli en av dessa människor."

Vilken imponerande meritlista —han kan spela in actionscener, sen komma hem och fixa lampor, OCH ge massage. Vilken dröm"

Och om något så är det verkligen en fördel för Milo att komma igång i filmindustrin som en mogen vuxen människa. Vi kommer troligen att se ett skådespelararv i denna familj — och Milo verkar nu veta vad han verkligen vill med sitt liv, och det är att agera. Vi längtar tills vi får se honom i fler filmer och vem vet, han kanske följer ytterligare i sin fars fotsteg i framtiden och börjar att regissera han med. Och har vi tur så kanske vi till och med får se ombytta roller där Milo är regissören och Mel skådespelaren!

Vi måste ha tålamod dock oavsett vad Milo väljer att göra så får vi se vad 30-åringen hittar på i framtiden. Det är ingen som vet, och han kanske väljer att gå tillbaka till massagejobbet eller väljer att jobba som en elektriker igen. Det är trots allt detta tydligt att han är en talangfull ung man som är värd att se på i framtiden, även om han inte blir en Hollywood superstjärna.
