Andrew Garfield holds a strong belief that Mel Gibson, despite his widely criticized anti-Semitic remarks made nearly two decades ago, should not be prevented from continuing his filmmaking career. The controversy, which began with Gibson’s infamous tirade during a DUI arrest in Malibu, involved hateful remarks directed at a Los Angeles County police officer, including anti-Semitic rhetoric (as reported by The Guardian). This scandal, which nearly led to the end of his career, was further amplified when tapes leaked showing Gibson shouting racial slurs at his ex-girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva. In a recent interview, Garfield expressed his belief in Gibson’s potential for growth and healing. He also emphasized on the importance of forgiveness and redemption, suggesting that everyone deserves a chance to evolve and learn from their mistakes.

Andrew Garfield has publicly expressed his unwavering support for Mel Gibson, who directed the actor in the 2016 war drama Hacksaw Ridge. Garfield, while speaking to PEOPLE magazine, highlighted Gibson’s journey of personal healing and growth, stating that the director “deserves to make films” and has “done a lot of beautiful healing with himself.” 

Garfield, who earned an Oscar nomination for his role in Hacksaw Ridge, reflected on the profound lessons he learned while working with Gibson. When asked what he took away from the experience, Garfield shared that it was more than just acting insights. 

“I learned a lot, actually. I learned that people can heal. I learned that people can change, that people can get help. I learned that everyone deserves respect,” Garfield answered when PEOPLE asked what he learned from making Hacksaw Ridge with Gibson. “And that people deserve second chances, third chances, fourth chances. That none of us are infallible.”

In further praise of Gibson, Garfield remarked that the filmmaker has become “a real empathetic guy” over time. He elaborated on Gibson’s directing style, emphasizing how deeply connected the director is to the emotional weight of his stories. 

“He’s done a lot of beautiful healing with himself,” Garfield added. “And thank God. Because he’s an amazing filmmaker, and I think he deserves to make films. He deserves to tell stories, because he has a very, very big, compassionate heart. He’s the kind of director that would come from behind the monitors, just with his eyes wet. He knew when it was right and he knew when it wasn’t right. And I just really trusted him. And he’s a visceral storyteller so he can feel… He’s like he can’t help but feel everything. He’s a real empathetic guy.”

Mel Gibson’s career took a significant hit after his 2006 arrest, during which he was recorded making anti-Semitic, homophobic, and racist remarks. The incident caused a widespread backlash, leading to a sharp decline in his Hollywood prominence. 

In response to the backlash, Gibson issued an apology for his actions, particularly addressing the Jewish community. He stated, “There is no excuse, nor should there be any tolerance, for anyone who thinks or expresses any kind of antisemitic remark.” This was followed by a direct apology for the offensive comments made during the DUI incident, acknowledging the harm caused to the Jewish community.
