10 Huge Hollywood Actors We All Loved (But Now Hate)

4. Mel Gibson

We Love You Moment: Mad Max (1979) With the release of Mad Max the world witnessed the birth of a genuine movie star; impossibly handsome and extremely talented. Over the course of his career he made worldwide hits like Lethal Weapon and its sequels, the follow ups to Mad Max, Maverick, Braveheart, Ransom and Signs to name but a few. He has received the AO (Australia's highest honour), was People Magazine's first Sexiest Man Alive, was ranked 12th biggest film star of all time by Empire Magazine in 1997, ranked 17th most powerful person in Hollywood in 2006 and was not once but twice cited as America's favourite movie star in Harris polls conducted in 1996 and 2003. Mel Gibson Mug ShotWe Want A Divorce Moment: Drunk Dialling (2010) Following an acrimonious split from Oksana Grigorieva in 2010 Mad Mel actually went mad. Caught on tape drunk and venting, Mel was recorded spouting repugnant language and insults we won't be repeating here but, suffice to say, it ended the career of someone who was once the most popular actor on the planet. This one really hurt. We loved you Mel. You were Max Rockatansky. You were Martin flamin' Riggs and now you're nothing but a cautionary tale. Chances Of Getting Back Together: Thanks for the memories, but that sort of behaviour is not what we want.
