Joe Rogan Experience #2254 – Mel Gibson

While Mel Gibson was in Austin recording this episode, the wildfires sweeping Los Angeles destroyed his home in Malibu. JRE #2254 became one of the most talked-about episodes of early 2025.

Gibson is an Oscar-winning actor and director behind films including "Braveheart," "The Passion of the Christ" and "Hacksaw Ridge." He was on the show promoting "Flight Risk," a thriller he directed starring Mark Wahlberg, released January 24, 2025.

What's on the table

The conversation covers Gibson's career, filmmaking and faith. He also made claims about alternative cancer treatments that drew wide criticism, because they aren't supported by medical evidence. Don't take them as medical advice.
