Mel Gibson Mocks ASL Interpreter, Then Calls His Own Behavior “Thoughtless Idiocy”

Mel Gibson has apologized after a viral video showed him making exaggerated hand movements near an ASL interpreter at FanExpo Canada. The moment happened as Gibson entered the stage for a career-spanning panel in Toronto. After the footage triggered backlash, Gibson acknowledged that “spontaneous thoughtless idiocy” had been displayed. He denied intending any maliciousness and apologized to those upset by his actions. The criticism intensified after Alan Ritchson was filmed greeting and acknowledging the same interpreter at the convention, prompting comparisons between the two interactions. The available footage cannot prove Gibson’s intention, but his response recognizes that his behavior was thoughtless. FanExpo had not publicly commented when his apology was reported. #MelGibson #ASL #FanExpoCanada #AlanRitchson #CelebrityFails #CelebrityNews #ViralVideo
