Christmas Came Early for Mel Gibson
Wondering what to get your famous, slightly loony actor/director friend this Christmas? Did that life-sized crucifix he asked for turn out to be too expensive? Can’t find that Christmas Carols Sung in Dead Languages CD in stores? Never fear, there is one perfect present for Mel Gibson this holiday season: a DUI. And — oops. The LAPD already got him that. Back to the drawing board. After the jump, Mel Gibson explains his drunk driving “present” to PEOPLE.
Drunk driving arrests and anti-semitic, career-destroying rants should totally be seen as “gifts.” If you’re as crazy as Mel Gibson, that is. [“I got a skinful and mouthed off which is not coming from a good place, but I’m moving on from that,” the actor-filmmaker, 50, tells the entertainment news Web site
Dark Horizons
. He now looks upon the experience of his
no-contest plea
for DUI and the exposure of his anti-Semitic drunken rant “as a gift to me, because it’s made me really sort of scratch my head and focus on a couple of things that I needed to.”

Yes Mel, maybe in Mars they would call it a gift. Well, at least, that´s what the little green men in my head keep telling me. I´m on your side Mel. I can tell you´ve been paying atention to your inner voice, you know, your conscience; that little voice in your head that tell you what´s wrong or right. Just try listening to your voice when it tells you to SHUT UP!

this guy is not a little bit crazy, but that’s what we love about him, right?
