Mel Gibson on Jay Leno
Actor and director Mel Gibson made an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Jay Leno set the tone for the evening by saying there were a lot of rumors to clear up. He then asked Gibson about his split with Robyn, his wife of 28 years.
Gibson said he took the blame for the divorce.
“My wife and I, our marriage ended three years ago and we’ve been separated ever since then,” Gibson said. “These things happen. It’s unfortunate, it’s sad, but you know she is an admirable woman – we still got kids together. We’re friends.”
Leno followed up by asking Gibson what happened to which Gibson replied,
”Look. When it’s all said and done, I did a pretty good hatchet job on my marriage myself. I’m to blame. If you’re inclined to judge, put it here.”
Gibson confirmed that his girlfriend is pregnant.
Piling it on, Leno joked, “So that will make 29? “ Gibson responded, “Well, actually eight. I guess I’m Octo-Mel.”
Gibson is among the first of many special guests in Leno’s last week as host of the Tonight Show, with his final guest on Friday being his successor, Conan O’Brien, who takes the helm on Monday, June 1. Leno returns to NBC in the fall in primetime.
