Mel Gibson has come under fire after mocking an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter during a Fan Expo Canada panel over the weekend.
Page Six reported that the Braveheart actor walked on stage, waved at the crowd, and then mimicked the interpreter's signs. The clip has now gone viral with people calling his behavior "bonkers," "despicable," and "gross."
"This choice is bonkers to me. *interpreter just doing their job, people clapping for you, positive vibes* Mel Gibson: *makes fun of ASL interpreter for no reason at all* What dysfunction causes a brain to need to be casually cruel for no reason?" one social media user wrote via X.
After the clip was widely circulated, the Oscar winner issued an apology for his behavior at "the largest comics, sci-fi, horror, anime and gaming event in Canada."
