Melbourne
(ANI):
Actor
Mel
Gibson
lost
his
cool
on
a
TV
show
and
called
a
journalist
an
“a**hole" after
he
was
questioned
about
his
drinking
past
and
infamous
anti-Semetic
rant.
Gibson
was
with
WGN
TV's
Dean
Richards
who
asked
the
Braveheart
actor
if
he
was
a
different
person
since
the
events
several
years
ago.
"You've
gone
through
a
lot
of
ups
and
downs,"Richards
said.
"It's
a
real
rollercoaster
ride.
You
know
I
think
I''m
the
same
person
I
always
was
except
for.....time
teaches
and
you
learn
as
you
go," the
Courier
Mail
quoted
Gibson,
as
saying.
When
Richards
quizzed
Gibson
on
his
drinking
problems
and
the
alleged
"anti-semetic
rant"
to
a
police
officer
in
2006,
Gibson
answered:
"That's
almost
four
years
ago
dude.
I've
moved
on...I
guess
you
haven't.
I've
done
all
the
necessary
mea
culpas....um,
let's
move
on
dude,
c'mon"
As
the
reporter
began
to
wrap
up
the
show,
Gibson
slug
back
his
coffee,
gave
a
thumbs
up
and
thinking
he
was
off-air
called
Richards
an
“a**hole".
