Mel Gibson is mourning the loss of his home.
The What Women Want actor revealed that the Malibu home that he’d lived in for nearly 15 years burned to the ground amid the Los Angeles fires.
“You live there for a long time, and you had all your stuff,” Gibson reflected during a Jan. 9 phone interview on NewsNation’s Elizabeth Vargas Reports. “You remember George Carlin talking about your stuff? I had my stuff there, and it’s all like, I’ve been relieved from the burden of my stuff, because it’s all in cinders.”
At the time the fires broke out, the 69-year-old had just flown to Austin, Texas, to record an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience.
“I was doing the Rogan podcast,” Gibson said, noting his girlfriend Rosalind Ross and son Lars, 7, evacuated soon after the fire started. “And [I was] kind of ill at ease while we were talking, because I knew my neighborhood was on fire, so I thought, ‘I wonder if my place is still there.'”
