Mel Gibson he opened up about his life and career in a wide-ranging two-hour interview with a podcaster Joe Roganincluding how he creates his film roles.
“Sure, I’ve planned a lot of murders in my life — we all have,” Gibson, 69, said on the Thursday, Jan. 9, episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, while discussing his upcoming project The Resurrection of the Christ and how it develops storylines and characters. “In your head, you plan them out and you think, ‘Well, that’s not a very good idea, but I think I can get away with it.’
According to Gibson, commit an act of murder it would be “your animal brain.”
“I spent a long time in my animal brain, which is a very horrible place to be,” says Gibson. “(Where) you’re in ‘fight or flight’ all the time, you don’t even sleep. It’s not a good place to be and if anyone looks at you the wrong way, you want to bite them – and sometimes you say and do things that are socially unacceptable.”
Mel Gibson has admitted that he and fellow actor Robert Downey Jr. constantly saved themselves from being “non-existent and blacklisted.” The pair have a shared history of “falling off the wagon,” with Gibson’s alcoholism and Downey Jr.’s history. of substance misuse.

After working with the doctor, Gibson found that he was less inflamed – his brain trauma was a result of past injuries while playing rugby growing up – and eventually came to realize that he didn’t want to follow through on any of his apparent murder plots.

How do you direct an Oscar-winning director?” Henrie, 35, told Us Weekly exclusively about his directorial debut. “I (…)
“When I kill someone, you know, it’s horrible and it’s not socially acceptable,” Gibson said. “Also, I don’t want to go to jail.”
Gibson now focuses on his acting careerasserting to Rogan, 57, that he wanted to tell a story about “good and evil.”
“It is the story of the resurrection, but it is not linear because it is difficult to understand,” he explained. “It has to be put into a framework where you answer a few other questions as well and you have to juxtapose the event itself against everything itself so that it makes some kind of sense in a bigger picture, which is a hard thing to do.”
