Mel Gibson Puts His Awards in The Wardrobe

MEL Gibson stores his awards in the wardrobe.
The Edge of Darkness actor — whose movies have grossed more than $2 billion in the US alone — has become so used to picking up Golden Globes and Oscars he has no room left to display them so he has started storing them in a cupboard.
“Oh, sometimes I polish them and introduce them to each other,” said Mel, who can count an Academy Award and Golden Globe for Best Director for Braveheart, in which he also starred. “And then I switch off the light, light some candles, serve canapes and if I’m lucky they reproduce.
“They’re a little bit like coat hangers. They always seem to reproduce in my wardrobe. Mysterious, isn’t it?”
The 54-year-old Hollywood star returns to the big screen in new movie The Edge of Darkness after an eight-year hiatus, but is glad he took the break because he “felt exhausted”.
“It’s a good thing I took a break,” he said. “Sometimes there’s nothing better for an artist. I felt empty and exhausted. Life makes you suffer but also happy. And if I’m happy or relaxed for five minutes a day — that’s quite a lot already. I try to live in the moment. I’m not afraid of the future and don’t let remorse get me down.”
