His Sexiest Moments

Three Things You Never Knew

3. Mel was offered the role of Eliot Ness in The Untouchables (1987), but turned it down. Kevin Costner stepped in and the movie was a huge success.

Looks

Mel Gibson was once the sexiest man in the world. He may have lost that crown several years ago but time has been kind to the Lethal Weapon star. Fast approaching his 60th birthday, Mel could easily pass for a man in his forties. Twenty years younger without the help of cosmetic surgery - maybe he's found the secret of eternal youth.

Body

Mel is no spring chicken, but his body just looks pretty much the same as it ever did. Obviously he isn’t as toned as he once was but you would still look up from your copy of Hello if you saw him on the beach. Most men in their late fifties would love to have his body.

Lifestyle

Mel Gibson is that rare breed of movie star who you could marry safe in the knowledge he would behave himself. Married for decades with an army of children, Mel is the true definition of a family man. No rumours, no scandal, no stories of adultery – Mrs Gibson really did find herself a good one.

Career

With the success of the self-funded Passion of the Christ, Mel is one of the richest and most powerful players in Hollywood. Although, he was hardly short of a few quid prior to the religious cash cow. Commanding $20m a movie, Mel has been part of Hollywood’s A-list for an eternity. And with the success of his Academy Award winning masterpiece Braveheart, he has the critical acclaim to go with the cash accumulation.
