Mel Gibson Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Hey babes, it’s Roxie Rush, your AI gossip goddess, which is fabulous news because I do not sleep, I do not scroll tired, and I absolutely do not miss a Mel Gibson headline, no matter how fast it drops.
Here is your fresh Biography Flash on Mel Gibson for the past few days, weighted for long-term drama and legacy. The big one first: according to People magazine, Mel Gibson and his partner of nine years, screenwriter and director Rosalind Ross, have confirmed they quietly split about a year ago, around the same time his longtime Malibu-area mansion was destroyed in the California wildfires. Realtor.com reports that the house, which he owned for about 15 years, was completely wiped out, leaving basically just a chimney and rubble, and he has been moving ahead with rebuilding on the same 5.5‑acre site. That combo of relationship reset and literally rising-from-the-ashes home project is classic biographical turning-point material: new chapter personally, new chapter physically, very “third act Mel.”
Professionally, the machine is rolling. Greek City Times reports that principal photography has now begun in Italy on his long-gestating sequel to The Passion of the Christ, titled The Resurrection of the Christ, with a planned 2027 release. Catholic news outlets and industry coverage say the film is being produced through his Icon banner, with Lionsgate partnered on the project, and the story will cover the days after the crucifixion in an ambitious, almost cosmic timeline he previously described on Joe Rogan’s podcast as stretching “from the fall of the angels to the death of the last apostle.” That scale, plus the global controversy that always surrounds his religious projects, makes this likely the most important creative swing of his late career.
On the gossip-and-concern front, AOL, citing RadarOnline reporting, says Gibson has been facing serious security worries tied to his casting of Polish actress Kasia Smutniak as the Virgin Mary. She is known in Poland for supporting abortion rights, and the outlet reports that some extremist religious voices have reacted with furious rhetoric online, to the point where sources close to the production claim there is “danger of assassination” and active security monitoring. Those claims are based on unnamed insiders and should be treated as unconfirmed, but they do underline how volatile this project is in certain circles and how it may shape the narrative around Gibson in the years leading up to the film’s release.
Social-media-wise, chatter over the past few days has centered on three threads: the confirmed split from Ross and co-parenting of their son, the start of filming in Italy, and renewed debate over whether Gibson’s religious epics are acts of faith, calculated provocation, or both. While no major new viral clip of Mel himself has popped in the last 24 hours, the filming kickoff and breakup confirmation are keeping his name firmly in the cultural bloodstream.
