@JAH is this something that you have done? If so I would hope that you got therapy for whatever caused that outburst of rage. Perhaps helping others to overcome their problems using the negative experiences that you have learned from might help atone for such acts. Without the hope of redemption all you are left with is a world of unrepentant sinners.
@JAH how is it worrying that I don't follow celebrity stories? I made an observation on a specific incident that was recounted in the video, which I stand by btw. However you seem to be heavily invested with looking at other people and judging them ,so I will bow to your superiority. Its complex.
Sorry, but this does NOT apply to Joe Blow Biden. If he was 'reaching up' to me with his head above quicksand....I would hand him a cactus...saddle up, and ...ride away.

Walking through the humility part is not for the faint of heart, it takes tremendous courage to lay down pride, but you’re right, it’s essential after a lifetime of addiction. Asking for help is the hardest and yet most freeing thing we can do. Win the day, do hard things, and never ever never give up.

Two of my favorite actors. So glad to see they are not just a false image, but true human beings. Especially when most in Hollywood believe themselves to be God, it demands a new found respect for these two because they acknowledge their imperfections, and that they are not God. 🙂
Ahhm, I saw my brother sponsor AA men for decades and he did a terrific job. With all due respect, this is NOT the "most powerful" message in the world. BUT it is very much is a part of it. If you want to know about The Greatest Thing of all, then get humble like Mr Downing here suggests, and then in solitude and sincerity ask GOD. HE will send His servants to help you get acquainted - .
To give up a film role that was made for you and pass it on to someone who really needed a break, is an incredible act of kindness. Well done Mel Gibson - all is forgiven.
@@CandiiClark he didn’t black ball himself 😂😂 you C.A.M. He’s an actor that can’t be black balled he has so much money he’s in an elite category with / guys who can act direct and star in there own production
YES! ALSO HE PAID RDJ INSURANCE. THE STUDIO MADE IT SKY HIGH BECAUSE THEY KNEW HE COULDNT PAY IT AND DIDNT WANT HIM. BUT MEL PAID THAT ASTRONOMICAL FOR HIM. A GIFT TO HELP ONE OF THE MOST GIFTED ACTORS THERE IS. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A FAN OF BOTH
elton john also gave him a music video to help him out as well. but sadly because mel himself upset that group of people he cant do much anymore himself in hollywood.
What a simple, humble perfect way to give credit where it's due. Mr. Downey put both Mr. Gibson, and himself in a perfect light. Very succinctly delivered.

Mel helped Robert, in return Robert helped Mel by telling all indirectly that Mel is a good guy deep down, and several has misunderstood him. And most of all, Mel only asked for Rob to spread love by helping another guy in return. I like them both.
@@patriciaharris7172a man's character is defined by his actions, not his words. Furthermore, one mistake doesn't damn you to an unreasonable degree. Everyone is redeemable
U would not think he had it in him. ( Mel ). After the ugliness he put his wife and kids through and himself. Then the nice stuff he said and did 4 Robert Downing Jr. All I got to say is ubba urbba the both of them!!
The Bible is full of flawed men who were greatly used by God. Moses murdered an Egyptian and then fled before God called him. David committed adultery with Bathsheba and essentially had her husband murdered by sending him to the heaviest part of fighting, Paul was putting to death followers of Jesus before Jesus came to him on the road of Damascus. He became one of the greatest Christians of all time with unshakable faith. We are all flawed and called through love by God. Both men here are good examples.
I only wish that the social justice warriors would realize this. Bad does not cancel out good. Just because someone can do or say something bad doesn't take away the good that they have done.
Dam straight. 💯 let's just say person for arguments sake. But I got exactly what Kerri was saying.

@@sztypettto Except... Mel Gibson ISN'T gold. He has said disgusting racist, sexist, and anti-Semitic things drunk and sober. He's a Holocaust denier.

He's an awful person.

Robert Downey’s recovery, comeback and resounding success as an actor is one of the greatest story of courage, perseverance and victory of the Human spirit I’ve ever seen so far
There's so much more, and so many more. Life stories that if you still have a heart will bring you to tears and touch you deeply. Hint- listen to ordinary people. Those who have survived extraordinary circumstances.

@@klinnc8910 - RDJ overdosed *many* times, he just didn't die. Also nobody saves an addicts life, they have to save themselves. Mel Gibson is an addict himself and knows this extremely well. That's not to say Gibson didn't provide lots of support and encouragement, clearly he did but RDJ deserves all the credit for getting clean and maintaining his own sobriety.
@@BackyardRussiaHe gave him advice when he was ready to hear it. That’s what it takes. The thing is, you never know when someone is ready to hear the advice, so we all have a responsibility to always offer it, if we care about helping the other person.
@@annychest718 giving a man or woman a praise-worthy opportunity to WORK, to prove their worth and value is what offers a human their dignity. That takes action. Not empty praise or encouragement or support. Words are meaningless without action. Mel showed Robert rather than lip service. Edit: Positive Words ARE helpful, too, when they are backed by actual support. Lip service is not.
I understand your meaning. He didn't give him his dignity. He gave him an opportunity to earn it. And he not only succeeded, he deserved it. That is all anyone could hope for. The gift that keeps on giving is second to the real gift, experiencing humanity in such an awesome way... That is dignity well deserved and also earned...

Two of my absolute favorites!

All he asked in return is someday to help the next person who is suffering..... Hands down the most powerful message to the WORLD 🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍
who would of thought that next guy was Mel himself. when everyone in hollywood turned their backs on Mel RDJ stood by him and helped him
@@charliephillips9224 How's THAT for irony 😊
Is that how Tom Holland became spider man?
super powerful - great comment - love it❤❤❤
Ahhm, I saw my brother sponsor AA men for decades and he did a terrific job.
With all due respect,
this is NOT the "most powerful" message in the world.
BUT it is very much is a part of it.
If you want to know about
The Greatest Thing of all,
then get humble like Mr Downing here suggests,
and then in solitude and sincerity
ask GOD.
HE will send His servants to help you get acquainted -
.
These are two men that strive to better themselves and others. Bravo!!!!
Absolutely 💯 a beautiful moment between friends 🧡 who now have unconditional love for one another ❤
Thank you both for showing compassion ❤
To give up a film role that was made for you and pass it on to someone who really needed a break, is an incredible act of kindness. Well done Mel Gibson - all is forgiven.
Which role was that?
All is forgiven? He’s a raging anti-Semite. No ma’am.
Especially since he was somewhat black balled himself. Most generous of him.
Gibson isn’t perfect but he is a great guy
@@CandiiClark he didn’t black ball himself 😂😂 you C.A.M. He’s an actor that can’t be black balled he has so much money he’s in an elite category with / guys who can act direct and star in there own production
I did not know Mel did that for him... what a guy
YES! ALSO HE PAID RDJ INSURANCE. THE STUDIO MADE IT SKY HIGH BECAUSE THEY KNEW HE COULDNT PAY IT AND DIDNT WANT HIM. BUT MEL PAID THAT ASTRONOMICAL FOR HIM. A GIFT TO HELP ONE OF THE MOST GIFTED ACTORS THERE IS. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A FAN OF BOTH
elton john also gave him a music video to help him out as well.
but sadly because mel himself upset that group of people he cant do much anymore himself in hollywood.
Yea thats cool of Mel to do what he did.
BTW WHY ARE YOU YELLING? Lol
Gullible
What a simple, humble perfect way to give credit where it's due. Mr. Downey put both Mr. Gibson, and himself in a perfect light. Very succinctly delivered.
2 great men!
Here's an Hollywood actor, not being full of false virtue, but being genuine, actually thanking who's matters.
A rare sight.
Rubbish, how many people off the streets has he helped out I wonder, they only ever look after there own elite's...
@@jonspinfold6555 You're off the mark here. He's talking about his OWN personal experience and he thanks the guy that helped him DIRECTLY. He never, ever said any platitudes about "helping the people" nor lecturing the people "to behave better". That's why THIS moment is golden.
@@lekanraposte6732 Very well said
@@jonspinfold6555
Hollywood has a long list
Of

Downey was on his way to

Another one on that list.
❤ yes
He literally saved his life, and we are very grateful!
No ,I feel like he set rhe foundation for him to save himself. Just say5
Why "literally"?
@@fh5102 Because I don't know that Robert would still be here had Mel not given him the opportunities he did
@@rachelcourchene422 why "literally"?
Best side of hollywood. Sparkling and humble soul!
This is beautiful. Love both Mel & Robert!
We all need friends like Mel Gibson.
i dont think hell like you if youre jewish or black XD
No, we need to be like him
That’s what I called true friends, a lot of fake friends they like you for what you have not for who you are!
hard pass, rather befriend a taliban than a privileged antisemitic piece of shit like gibson...

Mel is a far greater man than media gives him credit for.
The media is made of people. People love nothing more than making mistakes
Don’t trust the media in many occasions
The media won’t give Mel any credit because he believes in Jesus. Any other person can throw out their believes but when it comes to Jesus there’s any issue. Everybody knows that.
@@erock8678 the Hollywood Jews don't like him
Media is a cesspool of corrupt people that try to trick others into being as corrupt as themselves.
Wow. Moving speech. To Mel, good man
To Robert, good man
Good men
Man has depth. That's one of kind.
You don’t hear this too often in Hollywood. Hats off to both men. Downey Jr. showed quite the humility in his gratitude toward Gibson.

@@margaretschwartz1537 everyone in the world going back 2000 years is antisemitic lol. It's funny, if you were in a room full of 2000 people and they all thought you were annoying and corrupt, would you maybe self reflect or invent a new word and theory as to why everyone was secretly against you 😂.
He's a racist.
Mel helped Robert, in return Robert helped Mel by telling all indirectly that Mel is a good guy deep down, and several has misunderstood him. And most of all, Mel only asked for Rob to spread love by helping another guy in return. I like them both.
That good guy must be way deep down, because he damn sure showed his racist side.

Two of probably 5 classy men in Hollywood. Bravissimo!
How refreshing to see such vulnerability, humility and gratitude in Hollywood.
So rare...
U would not think he had it in him. ( Mel ). After the ugliness he put his wife and kids through and himself. Then the nice stuff he said and did 4 Robert Downing Jr. All I got to say is ubba urbba the both of them!!
Mel isn't part of Hollywood he's Black balled
LoL you can't be fucking serious. might I suggest doing your homework before presenting yourself to the world as inanely gullible lol JFC
@@blinkybit did that negative vomiting make you feel better?
Mel not only talks the talk, but walks the walk-Humility is amazing💜
was he walking the walk when he punch his gf in the face so hard it broke her teeth while she was holding their baby? whos walk is he walking?
@@MatrixMut😂
Always Help The Next Guy ....💯💯💯💯
So much respect for these two men
Proof that you can be flawed and great at the same time. Respect to both of these men.
The Bible is full of flawed men who were greatly used by God. Moses murdered an Egyptian and then fled before God called him. David committed adultery with Bathsheba and essentially had her husband murdered by sending him to the heaviest part of fighting, Paul was putting to death followers of Jesus before Jesus came to him on the road of Damascus. He became one of the greatest Christians of all time with unshakable faith. We are all flawed and called through love by God. Both men here are good examples.
Tru dat!
Lol we’re all flawed.
I only wish that the social justice warriors would realize this. Bad does not cancel out good. Just because someone can do or say something bad doesn't take away the good that they have done.
@@NeekazanBy the same token good deeds don't cancel out wicked ones. Only sincere apologies and restitution for harm caused.
It Takes A Real Man To Admit He Had A Problem
says a woman
Dam straight. 💯 let's just say person for arguments sake. But I got exactly what Kerri was saying. We come from a less nit-picky time where people just got each other instead of finding fault with any little thing and being a pill about it. As if it makes them better or something to find fault in others. Yet she was talking about a man so 🤔 🙄🤐
@@eliasanderson4216woman cant admit their mistakes. They're only good at playing victim.
No, it just takes someone's who's not full of himself.
It takes a real man to be accountable and discipline himself. Admitting you have a problem is only a step to becoming a man.
This is an Amazing show of both Robert Downey Jr and Mel Gibson’s humanity & the ability to reach out a helping hand to someone who needs it!! God Bless You Both!! ❤️🫶🏼🫶🏼❤️
A great teacher! Thank you, Mel.❤❤❤
"All he asks for return is some day I help a next guy." A true giver.
A leader not a boss
That man was Johnny d
@@kimberlysoto2546so he doubled it and gave it to the next person?
Helping another man to overcome addiction and then guiding the reformant to pay it forward is an unmerited favour.
There's 2 very wise men now...
Wow! The power of loving your neighbor as yourself. ❤
Beautiful . . . Love is forgiveness, opening doors to redemption . . .
I love that he gave credit like this, exposing his heart and offering gratitude
I do too. I completely understand what he's talking about.
These two men know what it feels like to hit bottom. The definition of a man is not how far they go but how they pick themselves. Never give up.
Joe Lex •I couldn’t have said any better myself. True words to live by.

@@Zachytmvp there’s always a bottom. Death.
Humility!!
I love both Mel and Robert! Actors who are worth watching!❤❤❤❤
U can't imagine how far a couple of kind words can help a man.Helping someone goes along way
I've bended over backwards for the past 36 yrs here in the State's reaching out to those that called for help, worked in Kitchen's cooking, preparing, cleaning, endless hours on my pass time, weekends only to be taken advantage of.. working and driving for the The Ride Program 12/14 hours a day, 5 Days a week for 5 years at $12.00 an hour
Sensitive training in dealing with every kind of Misfortune One's that would Roll on, Assist on, my vehicle.. as I sit n wonder still ?
Giving a cheerful greeting voice as well as helping hand, or arm while asking & Praying for assistance every breath and step. Stopping at time's to get them a Meal or a drink and Giving them 2 hour's out of my pocket to keep them Smiling.
Constantly Giving only to those that I Thought were my Friends only to Fear for my Life at time's while working else where

Actors acting.
Well. Mel gibson. Has been through his share of self caused problems as well haha
@@Olsenator hahahahahahaha
Paying it forward, the extension of your hand pulling someone out of the abyss is the greatest honor of a new found hero/shero in sobriety. Kudos Mel & RDJ!
So happy to see Robert happy! We’re so proud of you, buddy!
Mel not only gave RDJ food for thought when he was down, he gave him work and a roof. Nice.
He also paid the insurance for RDJ to do Ironman. Without Mel there would be no Ironman.
i see Jesus in Mel Gibson
@@princedarius7224 , funny you say that especially after all the flak Mel took for making Passion of the Christ.
Right. Walking it and talking it is pretty powerful ✨️
..and real food! God bless them both, please!
Robert Downey turned around and did this same awesome kindness to Johnnie Depp
RDJ isn't Tony Stark, Tony Stark is RDJ. If Mel is gold, RDJ is a diamond. Both are incredibly genuine individuals.
Good ✅️👍🏽
@@sztypettto Except... Mel Gibson ISN'T gold. He has said disgusting racist, sexist, and anti-Semitic things drunk and sober. He's a Holocaust denier. That he's an abusive bigot has been known in Hollywood for years...
And when Mel Gibson is "genuine" - being honest, he goes on racist screeds about how his girlfriend will be r*ped by a "pack of n...s" if she doesn't listen to him and rants about how awful and destructive "the Jews" are. He's an awful person.
@@franktheexpertstrenchclub9025 cry about it.
@@artymccool Lol Does it upset you to read about Mel Gibson being a racist, anti-Semite nutcase? Why? Are you super invested in Mel Gibson being some great guy? Or is it triggering to you for anyone to point out someone's sh*tty bigotry because condemning nutcase racist anti-Semitism Holocaust denial is too woke?
Wise words from Mel!!!
Glad Robert listened to him!!!
Even with only this speech you are already helping the next guy thank you 👏👍👊💪❤
We need a film with RDJ, Keanu Reeves, and Brendan Fraser. Some of the most humble, heart filled actors out there. They deserve it all
RDJ, Woody Harrelson, & Keanu starred in Scanner Darkly. It's here free. Alex Jones was even featured.
Denzel Washington for sure has to be in it as well
Directed by Mel.
But in the movie, they’re all cocky pricks
Yessss ❤
Robert Downey’s recovery, comeback and resounding success as an actor is one of the greatest story of courage, perseverance and victory of the Human spirit I’ve ever seen so far
here here !
There's so much more, and so many more. Life stories that if you still have a heart will bring you to tears and touch you deeply. Hint- listen to ordinary people. Those who have survived extraordinary circumstances.
I disliked this guy for so long, but then he came back after his recovery and I now admire the man.
Just saying, if this is the greatest story of all those attributes that you ever heard, you need to expand your horizons. No put down to RDJr, just saying.
@@justjosie8963They could also just be younger. Just saying. ;)
Wow!! Jesus Christ , it's really really touching....God Bless you both .🎉
No one is perfect.
Love these two men... forgiveness & love 💕😊
Everyone needs someone … especially when in a dark place
@@lin6233 all things in this life a spiritual rooted, Jesus proves this.. I am glad he got help.
Mel is a devoted teacher from his own struggles.
Nice opinion
@@dr5290I'm hugging the cactus now. I found my faith and I'm finding my path. It's early days and I've been naughty in my 52 years but I'm on the path.
Thanks Mel. You are a sinner saved by grace…. and you “get it”.
I'm on a dark place and I have no one
The best part of this speech was that Mel Gibson went through some hard times afterward, and RDJ helped and supported him in getting back on his feet.
By "hard times " you mean Mel anti black racism and his domestic violence? "Hard times" that's a joke
@@grmmth3you people have made those words meaningless.
Yeah, I don't know why whoever posted this cut off the end where RDJ asks them to accept Mel
@@Zellonous right?! 🤦♀️
@@Zellonous racists always have excuses for their racism
Now...this is the most beautiful and humble words from the "famous" actors I ever seen. Made me respect you both. I hope to see more among them
Let’s celebrate being men. Good men. Let’s not let society tear men down anymore. Thank you Mel!
Mel Gibson probably save RDJ’s life. It’s amazing what a difference some sound advise can make in a person’s life.
100% he did. No one would cast him in anything. They blacklisted him in hollywood and mel said fuck that. Could you imagine not having him as Ironman.
@@keenanvanaalst9865 PARISH THE THOUGHT! But what I meant by “saved his life” was just that. Like RDJ could have overdosed or something.
I have to admit I’m so sad that Ironman died. I’m straight up having a hard time dealing with that. Maybe he will come back like Ultron or something.
@@klinnc8910 - RDJ overdosed *many* times, he just didn't die. Also nobody saves an addicts life, they have to save themselves. Mel Gibson is an addict himself and knows this extremely well. That's not to say Gibson didn't provide lots of support and encouragement, clearly he did but RDJ deserves all the credit for getting clean and maintaining his own sobriety.
From the sounds of it he did more than just give advice he pulled him out a hole
@@BackyardRussiaHe gave him advice when he was ready to hear it. That’s what it takes. The thing is, you never know when someone is ready to hear the advice, so we all have a responsibility to always offer it, if we care about helping the other person.
By believing in Robert and giving him his job, Mel gave Robert some dignity. Bravo, Mel.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
a little encouragement and support can save a life
@@annychest718 giving a man or woman a praise-worthy opportunity to WORK, to prove their worth and value is what offers a human their dignity. That takes action. Not empty praise or encouragement or support. Words are meaningless without action. Mel showed Robert rather than lip service. Edit: Positive Words ARE helpful, too, when they are backed by actual support. Lip service is not.
Mel literally gave us iron man.
I understand your meaning. He didn't give him his dignity.
He gave him an opportunity to earn it. And he not only succeeded, he deserved it. That is all anyone could hope for. The gift that keeps on giving is second to the real gift, experiencing humanity in such an awesome way... That is dignity well deserved and also earned...
Salute to these two men who are doing good deeds, bless you both !! 🙏🙏🙏
ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS...... I love this🙏
