I request that the first line of the article be changed to “Mel Gibson is an American-Australian actor”, “American-born Australian actor”, or “American and Australian actor” to acknowledge the country in which he spent much of his life and began his film career. 2001:569:FC7F:AD00:2917:2C61:FA11:3A37 (talk) 03:29, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Mel Gibson was born in the United States and is believed to have always kept his American citizenship, even when living in Australia. There is no evidence that he or his father even took Australian citizenship while living there. He was most likely an American expatriate citizen in Australia. We need a strong RS to show that he is also an Australian citizen or a dual citizen of the United States and Australia.Mistico Dois (talk) 23:11, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This film didn't
"influence the Scottish nationalist movement".
We've been under English occupation since the 1600's, a film that is 100% historically inaccurate, albeit entertaining, didn't influence any Scot to suddenly want independence.
Unfortunately couldn't edit it as I'm not registered but whoever wrote that certainly had either a supremely high opinion of Mel Gibson or and extremely low opinion of common Scot's if they think a film like this would us rethink our political stance.
Please believe me when I say, the occupation of Scotland alone is why, those of us that do, want our independence. 2A00:23C8:6800:CA01:E95E:C0A8:8933:4A7C (talk) 11:23, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Legitimate criticism: the statement that it influenced the Scottish nationalist movement is not actually supported by a citation here. Even in the main Braveheart article it is not stated per se, only that the film incited "anti-English" sentiment. So I have modified it here. If someone wants to put it back and give references that is fine. NameNotUsed20 (talk) 21:16, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Being appointed "Donald Trump's special ambassador to Hollywood" alongside Sylvester Stallone and Jon Voight is not particularly noteworthy or meaningful. At best, this belongs in the "List of awards and nominations received by Mel Gibson" page, not in the upper-right frame of his main article. 222.153.106.102 (talk) 08:44, 16 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
His full name seems to be Mel Colm-Cille Gerard Gibson. This is supported here by a self-declared relative and in the Talk page archives which present two links to TMZ [1][2] showing his divorce papers.
Colm Cille is the Irish version of the name of Saint Columba (Columcille, Columbcille, Colmcille, ...). The hyphen presumably added to show that the two parts are a single name. TigerFromEarth (talk) 10:58, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
