Friedman has been on an anti-Gibson freakout since he got enrolled in the anti-Passion hysteria during the Boston College script leaking.
Gibson gave him ammo with his drunken tirade, but that was years ago, and Friedman is still bitterly clinging to his animus. Everything in this article is speculation except:
a) DeNiro walked off production of a movie; and
b) Friedman hates Gibson and everything for which he stands.
True, but sometimes he does it with a (bad) southern accent.
It tickles me when I hear people talk about "legends",
like James Dean for crap sake (what a bag of zeroes).
Maybe Gibson shouldn’t go to rehab. That way people can continue to think he’s drunk instead of finding out he’s actually crazy.
He did go into rehab and go away and disappear for a few years. His outburst was two years ago.
Okay, am I the only one who’d pay good money to see that fight?
This is ridiculous. Gibson’s problems happened YEARS ago now, long before DeNiro was ever approached to do this movie. I don’t think Bob signed for the part NOT knowing who else was gonna be in it. And I’m sure he didn’t wait til he got to the set and see Mel Gibson and say “that’s it, I won’t work with this guy - I quit...”
