Andrew Garfield Says Mel Gibson ‘Deserves to Make Films’ Because ‘None of Us Are Infallible’: ‘People Can Get Help’ and Need ‘Second Chances’


Andrew Garfield says Mel Gibson deserves to keep making movies in Hollywood.

Gibson only recently returned to the director’s chair for the first time since “Hacksaw Ridge” with the upcoming thriller “Flight Risk,” starring Mark Wahlberg. Following his arrest in 2006, Gibson issued a lengthy apology for his comments about Jewish people and said “there is no excuse, nor should there be any tolerance, for anyone who thinks or expresses any kind of antisemitic remark.” “I want to apologize specifically to everyone in the Jewish community for the vitriolic and harmful words that I said to a law enforcement officer the night I was arrested on a DUI charge,” he added at the time.
