As many know, Mel Gibson is a star and major player in his own right starring in Mad Max, Braveheart, The Patriot, and Lethal Weapon. He directed Braveheart, The Passion of the Christ, Apocalypto, and Hacksaw Ridge. While he had his success as both an actor and a director, he also had some personal demons made public.

Back in 2006 the actor was arrested for drunk driving. During the arrest he used some choice words with law enforcement including anti-Semitic and racial comments.

But that wasn’t the end of Gibson’s woes. After his divorce from his longtime wife, Gibson engaged in a volatile relationship with Oksana Grigorieva. She’d later accuse the star of both verbal and physical abuse to which the actor plead no contest to one count of misdemeanor spousal battery. Gibson would then complete a sentence of three years probation, one year of counseling for domestic violence, and two days of community service. After completing his sentence his conviction was vacated.

Jason Momoa next stars in director Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune. Momoa plays Duncan Idaho, a fan favorite of the franchise and the only character to appear in all six of Frank Herbert’s Dune novels.
