Mel Gibson’s home in Malibu was destroyed by the Los Angeles wildfires while he was away recording a podcast with Joe Rogan in Austin, Texas, Gibson has revealed.
The Oscar-winning actor and director shared the news during a telephone interview with NewsNation’s “Elizabeth Vargas Reports.”
Gibson said he was doing OK in the wake of the destruction.
“Obviously, it’s kind of devastating. It’s emotional,” he said. “You live there for a long time, and you had all your stuff. You remember [comedian] George Carlin talking about your stuff? I had my stuff there, and it’s all like, I’ve been relieved from the burden of my stuff because it’s all in cinders.”
Gibson said he was “ill at ease” during the podcast with Rogan because he was aware that his neighborhood was on fire.
“When I got home, sure enough, [the house] wasn’t there,” he told Vargas. “I went home and I said to myself, ‘Well at least I haven’t got any of those pesky plumbing problems anymore.’”
He said he and his girlfriend had evacuated, but she stayed in Calfornia while he went to Texas to do the podcast.
