Mel Gibson has been a big name in Hollywood for decades, known for iconic films and his larger-than-life personality. Among his nine children, Milo Gibson, now 32, is carving out his own path in the movie world and happens to look remarkably like his famous father.
Milo has appeared in several films, sometimes acting alongside Mel. Born in 1990 in Australia, Milo moved to California as a toddler and grew up in Malibu. Although he had a childhood away from the spotlight, he always admired his father’s work. Surprisingly, Milo didn’t initially plan to follow his dad into acting; he once wanted to try a more “real world” job like being a massage therapist or electrician.
Though Mel Gibson has been married and divorced, he balanced family life with a busy career, supporting his children in finding their own way. Milo himself praised his parents for shielding them from the Hollywood glitz, giving them as normal a childhood as possible.
After experimenting with various jobs, Milo chose acting and quickly gained recognition. His first big break came working with his father on Hacksaw Ridge (2016). Since then, he’s starred in films like All the Devil’s Men and The Tribes of Palos Verdes, building a growing career.
