Not only is he not a leftist militant off screen; he is a devout, and I mean devout, Catholic. He had Mass said everyday on the set of Braveheart, and he does not believe in artifical birth control; how's that for being to the right?
And the best part of all is that he lives his life according to his beliefs, and rarely, if ever, talks about it. A doer he is; a windbag he ain't.
does this mean that my favourite scenes, from
Braveheart,
Forever Young, and
What Women Want,
were not really Mel's, but some body double?
