Mel Gibson Biography

Mel Gibson was born in Peekskill New York the sixth of ten children born to Hutton Gibson and Anne Reilly Gibson. The family also adopted a child bringing the total number of children in the family to eleven. One of Mel's younger brothers Donal is also an actor. His unusual first name comes from a 5th-century Irish saint Mel who was the founder of the diocese of Ardagh which contains most of his mother's native county. Although Gibson always maintained his United States citizenship he lived in Australia from the age of twelve. Following a victory on the TV game show Jeopardy! Gibson's father moved his family to Australia in 1968 in protest of the Vietnam War for which his elder sons were potentially at risk for being drafted and also because he believed that changes in American society were immoral. Early Gibson films feature a distinct noticeable Australian accent.
