The Lethal Weapon actor's path back to relevance comes more than 10 years after he was arrested in Malibu in connection with drunk driving, as first reported by TMZ.

In the July 2006 incident, Gibson launched into a racist rant disparaging Jews, in which he declared, 'The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world,' and asked the arresting officer, Los Angeles Police Department Deputy James Mee, 'Are you a Jew?'

In January of 2010, he was again outcast by Hollywood after a series of recordings of him verbally abusing ex-partner Oksana Grigorieva surfaced on Radar Online.
