Nyhed: Mel Gibson ville have reddet Ledger

Mel Gibson ville have reddet Ledger

Skuespilleren viser sig som den gode samaritaner.

Mel Gibson var fornyligt på besøg hos "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", hvor han fortalte om, hvordan han havde rakte ud til Britney Spears og gav hende en hjælpende hånd, men samtidig også hvordan han fortryder, at han ikke hjalp Heath Ledger, da han havde problemer.

"She's a nice kid," fortæller Gibson om Spears. "She was just going through a rough patch. You see kids like that in the industry. I just thought, 'I wonder if anyone is reaching out to her,' so I just called her and she's doing great now."

Han ønsker, at han havde gjort det samme med Heath Ledger. "I shoulda called him years before," siger Gibson. "I really didn't know the ins and outs of what was up with him, but I don't believe it was just an accident."

Ledger vandt i søndags en Oscar for bedste mandlige birolle. Hans familie modtog statuetten på vegne af hans datter Matilda.
