WOW. At first glance, I actually did think this was Saddam! Granted, I’m recovering from a migraine and my vision is a bit blurry in one eye, but *still.* Scary!
If the Mel is going to dye his hair, he should at least do his best to approximate the hair color which God gave him (which is a fair reddish-brown if the Annalucia remembers correctly). The too-dark hair on the aging face, it looks like the roadkill laid across the scalp.
well in defense of the Mel-he is with the long mangy beard for a movie-something about a president-but it is true he has lost the “it” he used to have.
In defense of Mel: I still think that if he got rid of that beard, lost the plaid shirt, and put on a nice suit he would still look a thousand times better than 90% of the guys that cross my path… In the meantime though, somebody please pass him a coat hanger- it looks like that dang beard itches!
I, too, actually thought this was Saddam Hussein until I saw the second picture. How creepy is that? Don’t he or his wife notice this? I think I would jump out of my skin every morning if I saw Saddam Hussein lying in bed next to me.
Well, now you know why his hair is dyed so dark, in order to approximate the coloring of a Mayan man. I say let the man do his thing. He’s worked hard, he gambled and won. Good for him.
Ewww…playing a Mayan or not…it looks like there are little animals crawling in that beard of his. Mel, what happened to you, baby? You’ve gone from being my hot fantasy idol to being the icky pervert next door…
I think back to the first ‘Lethal Weapon,’ when he is standing in the rain, at his wife’s grave, with the scars on his face, and those beautiful, striking, blue eyes, and then I see this, and I sigh heavily.

The Elvira, she never “got” the fuss over the Mel Gibson. And now she never will.

Whatever allure the Gibson once possessed, it has vanished. Mad Max has morphed into Grizzly Adams.

bushy beard+ the indifferent grooming + questionable hygiene + a plaid shirt = a Bear…

I have broken down his new look mathematically:

Except I now suddenly realize I forgot to factor in a Grizzly Adams quotient.
