Whatever you or I might think of him, Mel Gibson appears to be a guy with a good sense of humor. And, having logged a little bit of time onstage, I know how hard it can be sometimes to keep a straight face during some of the most dramatic moments in a text. I’m guessing that dials up to 11 when you’re playing Jesus on the cross.
For what it’s worth, I haven’t seen the movie yet . . . mostly because I just don’t want to.
(I can only assume that these are real and I can only pray that they’ll end up on the DVD, but caveat emptor…)
