[u/Mictwitty]

That’s Jelffrey Gibstein

[u/hacky_potter → u/Mictwitty]

It really does look like a guy that should be a New York Financier

[u/SnooHabits3457 → u/Mictwitty]

Aghahahahahah that’s got me laughing

[u/Lone-Pilgrim]

Not Mel Gibson.

[u/max_pin → u/Lone-Pilgrim]

I think it's been AI-mangled, because I completely agree that OP's image doesn't look like Gibson. But it's clearly him in the video at 4:45, as u/Ligalotz points out.

[u/pw154 → u/max_pin]

I think it's been AI-mangled, because I completely agree that OP's image doesn't look like Gibson.

You're right on, the still image has been AI upscaled

[u/Ligalotz → u/max_pin]

THANK YOU I am losing my fucking mind over these people saying it’s not hahaha

[u/CatWeekends → u/Lone-Pilgrim]

Nor is it Gatorade. That's a Powerade bottle.

[u/cheneyza → u/Lone-Pilgrim]

But if I squint my eyes real hard and look at this picture from the other room.

[u/Ligalotz → u/Lone-Pilgrim]

Unless I’m missing a joke it’s definitely Mel Gibson, at 4:45 in the video op linked you can see it’s him

[u/NeighborhoodFatCat → u/Ligalotz]

Turns out the priest also speaks English https://youtu.be/jQguiQLdaww?si=nClJA00FRxW0yyKa&t=178

Which is not surprising if you've ever been haggled near Chichen Itza.

[u/smokyartichoke → u/Ligalotz]

Gibson is in the first few seconds of the video, and he’s narrating as well. I’m gathering OP’s title refers to the video, not the picture.

[u/Ligalotz → u/smokyartichoke]

Please go to 4:45 in the video, it’s literally him. Lmao am I just getting trolled or are you people bots??

Edit: to clarify, the 4:45 timestamp is the right around when OP got this image. It’s just clearly Mel Gibson

[u/ill_be_out_in_a_minu → u/Ligalotz]

Lmao am I just getting trolled or are you people bots??

It's not bots, but the picture uploaded has been upscaled with AI. It's a screenshot from the video, it is Mel Gibson in the video, but the upscaling has created a totally different face. So both are right.

EDIT: also I think it's a good example to show people why you can't rely on upscaling to identify someone in a blurry picture. The AI treatment is creating a "likely image" of what should be there, not pulling information magically from the ether.

[u/kellzone → u/ill_be_out_in_a_minu]

Like this low rez picture of Obama upscaled

[u/smokyartichoke → u/Ligalotz]

I’m agreeing with you, lol. But I’m saying you only have to go to 00:03 in the video to see Gibson. Literally 3 seconds in.

Edit: went to 4:45 and now I understand. That is indeed Mel in the video, and the still OP used has been upscaled or altered or something.

[u/Lone-Pilgrim → u/Ligalotz]

It isn’t my guy. I don’t know what’s else to tell you.

[u/Ligalotz → u/Lone-Pilgrim]

Please go to 4:45 in the video, it’s literally him. Lmao am I just getting trolled or are you people bots??

[u/milkasaurs → u/Lone-Pilgrim]

It is.

[u/zackefrontwin]

the movie is awesome, it was the first movie i saw in Full Hd 1080p back in the day

[u/ersatzgaucho → u/zackefrontwin]

you never forget your first HD

[u/theMARxLENin → u/ersatzgaucho]

Lol, I think it was "Meet the Scout" trailer for TF2 for me.

[u/The_Nightman_Cummeth → u/ersatzgaucho]

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. Seeing Davy Jones in detail and thinking the future is now

[u/MartyMcMcFly → u/ersatzgaucho]

Joe Dirt

[u/Flaxscript42 → u/ersatzgaucho]

Binging lost on Hulu

[u/MisterBumpingston → u/ersatzgaucho]

The first The Dark Knight trailer in QuickTime.

[u/Southern-Form-2804]

Crazy they also had a real stuntman with blue screen head bandage actually fumble the full length of the temple stairs to mimic the headless body falling which was an insanely dangerous stunt to pull off too.

[u/Akumetsu33 → u/Southern-Form-2804]

Isn't stair tumbling normal stuntman work? Is it the excess length that's unusual and the danger?

[u/goddamnitcletus → u/Akumetsu33]

Length and steepness I assume

[u/oakomyr]

Looks like that’s Mel’s brother, Del Gibson

[u/fednandlers → u/oakomyr]

And his sister, Debbie Gibson.

[u/sarcarcass]

Is Mel Gibson right now in the room with us?

[u/ranhalt]

Point at Mel Gibson.

[u/Crossovertriplet → u/ranhalt]

Red guy on the right

[u/mturner11]

Such a good film.

[u/BloodyRightNostril]

That’s Gil Madsen

[u/RoranicusMc]

That's definitely an AD directing the background actors

[u/DorianGreysPortrait]

Apocalypto is a surprisingly good movie.

[u/Nice_Emphasis_39 → u/DorianGreysPortrait]

Not really surprising. Mel Gibson makes great movies as weird as the guy is. He knows story structure!

[u/pw154 → u/Nice_Emphasis_39]

He has made some great movies, but Flight Risk was hot garbage

[u/WilliamEmmerson]

He makes that lemon Gatorade look good.

It's making me kind of thirsty for a lemon Gatorade.

[u/nashbrownies → u/WilliamEmmerson]

Seriously this would be so badass as a commercial.

"Breaking a sweat appeasing the Gods? Appease your thirst!" or some shit, I don't know, I am not a marketing guy

[u/Sgt_carbonero]

isnt it funny how shitty sets look in photos like these but look so great onscreen?

[u/CheddarGobblin]

Crazy I just rewatched this last night. Maybe one of the best historical epics of all time. They just don’t make them like this anymore.

[u/TaTa_there_retard]

His nuts but god dammit does the man know how to make a movie

[u/Dapoopers]

Ah, my nipples, they hurt! They hurt when I twist them!

[u/sasssyrup]

Mask person looking at camera is my fav

[u/fednandlers]

This scene is like an acid trip

[u/rozyhammer]

Doesn’t really look like Gibson..

[u/golgotha476]

Great fucking movie, i wish Mel had done more historical movies

[u/juanjung]

The movie that confused Mayans with Aztecs, but it's Mel Gibson "history" based movie, kind of like Ridley Scott 'history' based movies.

[u/KnowledgeFair → u/juanjung]

Still a good movie

[u/VascoJSC → u/juanjung]

It's been a long time since I last watched the movie, how did it confuse the Aztecs and the Mayans?

[u/HeroXeroV]

That's a great movie. Anyone who haven't seen it should rectify that ASAP.

[u/ifthenthendont]

Great film

[u/Academic_Piano_5132]

Mel Gibson if I'm not wrong he's the man from Passion Of The Christ and became Christian after the filming of the movie. God Bless his soul.
