At the premiere of his new movie “Monster Summer” in Los Angeles, famous star Mel Gibson showed up in public with his youngest children, daughter Lucia (14) and son Lars (7). This was one of the few times he had done so. He has only been seen with them a few times in public.
Gibson was so proud and happy as he posed with his daughter, who he has with his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, and his son, who he has with his current girlfriend, Rosalind Ross. He couldn’t hide his smile. Lars was born in 2017. A source told People that the parents were thrilled with the birth and that the boy was great. They told everyone in September 2016 that they were going to have a boy.
“Roz and Mel are thrilled about the baby.” Mel is excited for his child to come into the world. He loves being a dad. A friend told People, “The last two years have been some of the happiest of his life.”
Mel Gibson has a total of nine kids. Lucia and Lars aren’t his only children. From his marriage to Robin Moore, he has Hannah (43), Christian (42), Edward (42), William (38), Louis (35), Milo (33), and Thomas (25).
From a beloved actor to a controversial one
There are a lot of shocking and dramatic details in Gibson’s story. Because of a number of scandals, he has gone from being a well-liked star to an enemy of Hollywood. His mother was from Ireland and he was born in New York. His father was a writer and moved the family to Australia so Mel wouldn’t have to serve in the Vietnam War.
Gibson became famous for his memorable parts in movies like “Mad Max” and “Lethal Weapon.” He was praised by critics and compared to great actors like Steve Martin and Sean Connery. He famously turned down the lead part in the James Bond movies and had a lot of different roles, such as in “What Women Want.”
After being an actor, he became a director and won an Oscar for “Braveheart.” One of the movies he directed was “Apocalypto.” Another was “The Passion of the Christ.” These and other movies with sensitive themes got both good reviews and bad reviews.
His career took a big hit, though, when he struggled with drinking and made anti-Semitic comments. For a decade, Hollywood mostly ignored him. His personal life has also been rough. After 31 years of marriage, he got divorced from Robin Moore, and Oksana Grigorieva, with whom he has a daughter, accused him of domestic abuse.
Gibson has started dating Rosalind Ross, who is 34 years younger than him. Their age difference has caused a lot of talk, which has made his past issues seem less important.
