"Not a Chance" -- DiCaprio Refuses to Work with Mel Gibson

 

Mel Gibson's track record from a professional standpoint is commendable: two Oscars behind legendary films Braveheart and Passion of the Christ, and the critically-acclaimed and very original Apocalypto.  However, Gibson is quickly learning Hollywood can have a short memory or little respect for abusive and racist people.  Gibson had a project revolving around Vikings that could have possibly attracted the talents of Inception-star Leonardo DiCaprio.  A source close to DiCaprio extinguished such a union, telling RadarOnline:

 

"Leo has earned the right to pick and choose who he works with and Mel Gibson is not one of them."

 

Leonardo DiCaprio & Mel Gibson 2

 

Mel Gibson's latest unreleased film, The Beaver, is already experiencing problems with distribution -- so Mel might have to hold off on attracting any celebrities to star in his new film.  Leo is making the obvious career move in staying as far away from Gibson as possible.  Can you blame him?

    Can you blame Leo DiCaprio or any other actor refusing to work with Mel Gibson? Gibson is making a bad name with himself. Maybe Gibson should learn from this...so sad!

    I find this story interesting and it makes me wonder if there is more to the Mel Gibson story that Leo knows about I personally wouldn't work with him either

    I think anyone who takes a stand against Gibson, when only one side of the story is out there is ridiculous. Not defending his behavior, but just what is she saying and doing? She's a gold digger. As to Leo, it amazes me that Woody Allen sexually molested his adopted daughter, then married her, and Hollywood all raced to get into movies with him to show support. Just goes to show a difference the media can make in their coverage. It's disguisting!

    Whatever we think of Mel's profanities, his movies or the veracity of Oksana (and I think she and Mel BOTH need help there!), the truth is Hollywood is a town of perceptions - even if Leo publicly spoke out against Mel, if he worked with him his reputation would suffer. Mel is a Hollywood pariah (not sure I spelled that right) and he would do best to take some time away from the spotlight, sort out his drinking and temper, and enjoy his millions. Oksana would do well to do the same, but she seems the type to move on to the next guy, I just hope the faked tapes get proven to be so - how come Mel's voice is all crackly and hers is perfectly clear - tampering, that is how. My husband yells at me like that, I yell back, no one would stay as calm as she pretends in these doctored tapes. Mel is no saint, and he spews a lot of hatred when he is angry, but a lot of the tapes recently have just been an angry man yelling the F word a lot. Riddle me this - your super famous boyfriend hits YOU and your BABY GIRL - do you go to the police or do you EMAIL your lawyer? Where are the friends who she called? Who came over? Who treated her? Who's lying here?!! Just saying, we are all judging Mel on his bad language but there's no law against that, nor is there against some of the racist, mysoginistic stuff he says either - what proof is there of anything other than him being a total d*ckhead and having a limited vocabulary when he is angry, drunk or both?

    I will NEVER watch a movie, tv show or anything connected in any way with Mel Gibson.

    I think Leonardo is making the right desition, he is really one of the biggest star out now and has a good reputation, so why risk it.
