Famous actor Mel Gibson made a rare public appearance with his youngest children, daughter Lucia (14) and son Lars (7), at the premiere of his new film “Monster Summer” in Los Angeles. This is one of the few times he has been seen in public with them.
Gibson couldn’t hide his smile, radiating pride and happiness as he posed with his daughter, whom he shares with former partner Oksana Grigorieva, and his son, whom he has with his current partner, Rosalind Ross. Lars was born in 2017, and after his birth, a source told People that the parents were thrilled and that the little boy was wonderful. In September 2016, they announced they were expecting a son.

From Beloved to Controversial Actor
Gibson’s story is filled with dramatic and scandalous details. He has gone from being a beloved actor to a persona non grata in Hollywood due to various controversies. Born in New York to a mother with Irish roots, his father was a writer who moved the family to Australia to protect Mel from potentially being drafted into the Vietnam War.
Gibson gained fame through iconic roles in films like “Mad Max” and “Lethal Weapon,” earning critical acclaim and comparisons to greats like Steve Martin and Sean Connery. He famously turned down the lead role in the James Bond film series and enjoyed a diverse range of roles, including in “What Women Want.”

After his acting career, he turned to directing, winning an Oscar for “Braveheart.” His directorial projects include “Apocalypto,” “The Passion of the Christ,” and other works that garnered both praise and controversy for their sensitive subject matter.
However, his career faced significant setbacks due to struggles with alcoholism and anti-Semitic remarks, leading to a decade of being largely ignored by Hollywood. His personal life has also been tumultuous, with a divorce from Robin Moore after 31 years of marriage and allegations of domestic violence from Oksana Grigorieva, with whom he shares a daughter.

Despite the scandals, Gibson has found a new relationship with Rosalind Ross, who is 34 years younger, and has sparked discussions about their age difference, overshadowed by his past controversies.
