Mel Gibson Discusses Hollywood Challenges and California Wildfires on Hannity
Mel Gibson shared his views on the challenges facing Hollywood and criticized California's management of wildfires during an appearance on "Hannity," highlighting his commitment as a Special Ambassador.
Actor and director Mel Gibson recently appeared on "Hannity" to discuss his role as one of President Donald Trump's Special Ambassadors for Hollywood and the impact of California wildfires.
During the show, Gibson explained his decision to stay in California despite many celebrities relocating. He stated, "A lot of people have left, and I don't blame them... But if everybody leaves, what's going to happen?"
Gibson's remarks were made in response to Fox News host Sean Hannity, who expressed his own dissatisfaction with living in New York due to crime, high taxes, and regulations. Gibson confirmed that many high-profile celebrities left California for similar reasons.
Gibson emphasized the need for reforms in Hollywood, stating, "[People] are going somewhere else because it's more cost-effective." He highlighted regulatory issues that hinder film production in California and expressed optimism that these problems could be resolved.
Following Gibson's appointment as a Hollywood ambassador, he plans to collaborate with fellow envoys Jon Voight and Sylvester Stallone to develop strategies that address ongoing challenges in the film industry.
Gibson also took the opportunity to criticize California Governor Gavin Newsom regarding his management of the state, particularly in relation to the recent wildfires. Having lost his home in the tragedies, Gibson described the mismanagement as "monumental." He noted that the response to the wildfires has been inadequate, with lingering impacts on residents affected by previous disasters.
In summary, Gibson articulated his concerns about the state of Hollywood and its governance while advocating for necessary changes to support both the film industry and California residents.
