Mel Gibson was a prominent figure in Hollywood before his secret life caught up with him. In the past, Gibson has been detained for driving under the influence, charged with anti-Semitism, recorded using racial slurs, and more. Unsurprisingly, Hollywood avoided him. Gibson’s performance was not any better on a personal level. After only a year of dating, he and Russian singer Oksana Grigorieva broke up in 2010, according to People. When the couple announced their split, their 5-month-old daughter was shocked. However, things became complicated when Grigorieva obtained a restraining order against her ex and told the media outlet, “I felt he would murder me,” according to People. She also brought Gibson to court, where he acknowledged to slapping her once, according to TMZ. He was ultimately given three years of probation as well as treatment, according to Reuters.
Gibson’s personal life did improve, and he finally found love again, even though his career never completely recovered. This time, Rosalind Ross, a considerably younger woman, was involved. People on Twitter erupted after they appeared together on the red carpet for the 2017 Oscars because of their three-decade age gap. One user posted, “THAT WASN’T HIS DAUGHTER??!??!” while another joked, “THAT WASN’T HIS GRAND DAUGHTER????!!!!!.” While some were more skeptical, one supporter said, “She gave him a son so there is love there after all,” in response. So, who is Rosalind Ross really? Here is all the information you require regarding Mel Gibson’s much younger girlfriend.
Who is Rosalind Ross?
Rosalind Ross is incredibly passionate about the arts. She told Hola! that she had studied creative writing in college and had fantasized of becoming a poet. She also developed into a world-class vaulter on horses. She actually has more team World Championship medals than any any American female vaulter, according to Ambition. Ross, on the other hand, found the allure of scriptwriting after relocating to Los Angeles and devoted all of her energies to that. She remembered, “I simply sort of tried to learn by doing and I realized that I really, really loved it. IMDb lists Ross as the author of the TV series “Matador” and the 2014 short film “Homeward.” According to Ambition, she has also worked on projects starring Reese Witherspoon, David Oyelowo, and Mark Wahlberg.
She was actually encouraged to try directing by the latter. Ross was contacted by Wahlberg and requested to write the script for “Father Stu” as he was attempting to adapt the true story of boxer-turned-priest Father Stuart Long for the big screen. She nodded, and he then unexpectedly offered her the position of director as well. She teased the AV Club, “I’m still wondering how I got involved!” She acknowledged it was unsettling as an introvert. “Knowing that I had to be among a bunch of people, in charge of them, and steer the ship was the most scary thing,” she added. Nevertheless, she went for it and, in the future, she also plans to someday write a book, as per Hola!
Inside Mel Gibson and Rosalind Ross’ romance
Rosalind Ross and Mel Gibson may appear to be an unusual couple, but their shared love of movies brought them together, and 2023 will mark their ninth wedding anniversary. They first connected while Ross was writing a script for Gibson’s production business, Icon Productions, according to Daily Mail. Their relationship became known in 2014, but their 34-year age difference sparked controversy, which the actor addressed directly in 2016. He told Mirror, “It’s just a number. We get along well and she’s an adult.” “It might cause an issue and one has a nervousness about these things, but it’s working out beautifully,” he continued. Lars Gerard, their kid, was indeed born to them in January 2017, according to People. Mel is thrilled, a source informed the media outlet.
Along with taking care of their expanding brood, the couple has also found time to collaborate on projects (most notably “Father Stu” in 2022), and Gibson is totally supportive of Ross. In an interview with AV Club, Ross gushed, “‘Braveheart’ is still my favorite movie of all time,” referring to Gibson as “my mentor and a great inspiration of mine.” She insists she’s her own person, though. She told The Orange County Register, “I would be foolish not to pick his brain, but I have a very different style and identity than him as a filmmaker and it was necessary for me to embark on this journey by myself as an artist.
