Melbourne (ANI): Actor Mel Gibson lost his cool on a TV show and called a journalist an “a**hole" after he was questioned about his drinking past and infamous anti-Semetic rant. Gibson was with WGN TV's Dean Richards who asked the Braveheart actor if he was a different person since the events several years ago.

"You've gone through a lot of ups and downs,"Richards said. "It's a real rollercoaster ride. You know I think I''m the same person I always was except for.....time teaches and you learn as you go," the Courier Mail quoted Gibson, as saying.

When Richards quizzed Gibson on his drinking problems and the alleged "anti-semetic rant" to a police officer in 2006, Gibson answered: "That's almost four years ago dude. I've moved on...I guess you haven't. I've done all the necessary mea culpas....um, let's move on dude, c'mon"

As the reporter began to wrap up the show, Gibson slug back his coffee, gave a thumbs up and thinking he was off-air called Richards an “a**hole".

As with his infamous anti-Semitic comments,I think the real Mel Gibson continues to show his true colours. He seems to have exposed an exceedingly hurtful,unpleasant and unhappy person: himself. As a past fan, I can admire his old work but can't watch him anymore. Too bad all around!
