Mel Gibson Doesn't Care If He Never Acts Again

He has nearly 50 films and television to his name, but Mel Gibson says he does not care if the camera ever.

"I could easily work again. It is not a problem," the troubled actor and director, 55, says Deadline Hollywood for her first major interview since a series of leaked audio recordings documenting the rants of his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva has dominated headlines in the summer. Gibson added that it intends to work again Randy Wallace, who wrote the screenplay for 1995's Best Picture Oscar-winning Braveheart.

If Gibson can seem ready to give up and not look back at his career, he expressed regret for what he said on the tapes, which erupted in profanity Grigorieva, 41. Among his statements to her: "How dare you act in such a b ---- when I'm so f ------ good."

"I was angry against me," Gibson said of his rants. "But no one expressed any anger against me. They may have felt it. "

In his defense, he adds: "Who's Who is saved to anticipate predictable that could provide such a personal betrayal?"

Said tapes were edited

He understands the game, but you also want to remind those who were angered by his rants that the tapes were edited.

"We have to put this in context for a discussion to be irrational, animated at the height of the break, trying to leave an unhealthy relationship," he said. "It's a terrible terrible moment in time, said a person in the space of a day and do not represent what they really believe or how people treat me in my life."

Gibson will soon be on the big screen in Beaver with Jodie Foster, who has publicly defended the actor. Foster and Whoopi Goldberg are among the short list of Hollywood voices speaking on behalf of Gibson in his work - but again, he says he does not care.

"Why would anyone want to speak publicly and crawl through this crap? It seems to pour gasoline on the fire, "he said. "So many people are in favor, of course, but you know who your friends are."

Moving On

From drunk driving case turned anti-Semitic tirade in 2006, making 2004 a controversial Passion of the Christ, Gibson is not a new storms. In his defense, the actor who plays the reluctant star, which requires that he has taken a decision "on impulse" to act in his 20 years, but when it comes to fame "you can not put the toothpaste back in the tube" .

His last loss: Last October, its appearance in Hangover 2 was canceled due to the events reported by the crew. But it is stuck in it.

"You have to let go," he said. "You go ahead and go, okay, I'm not offended. It seemed like a good idea at the time and it went south."
