Mel Gibson is an Academy Award winning actor, but during an
in-depth interview with Deadline Hollywood, he says he has no problem never
acting again.

It’s the first time Gibson has spoken out since his explosive
rants at ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva shocked Hollywood.

He tells Deadline that he understands the recoil he’s
received from fans, and regrets what was said on the tapes.

But he also claims “they are edited” and wants to remind fans they
were the result of a “heated argument” during a “breakdown” in an “unhealthy
relationship.”

Regardless, Gibson says it was a “terribly awful moment in
time,” but insists it doesn’t represent his “true beliefs” or reputation.

But you’ll see him again. Here are shots of him filming The Beaver, and while he may not have a
problem never acting again, it’s reported that he already has a new project
lined up with the writer of Braveheart.
