Actor and filmmaker Mel Gibson has expressed his gratitude to Robert Downey Jr for supporting him after his arrest in 2006 and his anti-Semitic comments.
The actor spoke about the support he received from the Oppenheimer star during an interview, saying, “One time, I got into a bit of a sticky situation that kind of ended my career. I was drunk in the back of a police car, said something stupid, and suddenly I was blacklisted. I’m the poster boy
cancelled.”
He further added, “A couple of years later, he invited me to some kind of award he was receiving. We always had this kind of seesaw, where if he was in the car, I would fall, and if I was in the car, he would fall. So, I was pretty much non-existent in Hollywood at the time, and he stood up and spoke for me. It was a bold, generous and kind gesture. He loved him for that.”
Actress Jodie Foster also spoke about how she took him aside during the filming of 1995’s Home for the Holidays to talk to him amid his struggle with addiction.
