Netflix Offers Mel Gibson $100 Million To Work With Robert De Niro, Mel Rejects The Offer Saying “Keep That Woke Clown Away From Me”

In a surprising turn of events, Mel Gibson has reportedly rejected a lucrative $100 million movie offer from Netflix that would have seen him collaborate with legendary actor Robert De Niro. Sources close to the actor claim that Gibson made it clear he had no interest in working with De Niro, whom he allegedly referred to as a “woke creep.” The refusal to work with De Niro, a celebrated Hollywood icon, has sent shockwaves through the industry, especially given the considerable financial backing Netflix had put behind the offer.

Gibson, known for his outspoken views and polarizing personality, has always had a reputation for bucking the norms of the Hollywood elite. His decision to turn down a substantial payday from one of the most influential streaming platforms in favor of standing by his principles seems to be another example of his defiance against what he perceives as the Hollywood establishment’s growing embrace of political correctness.

The offer from Netflix was part of a broader push by the streaming giant to tap into the star power of seasoned Hollywood veterans like Gibson and De Niro, who have an extensive history of high-profile collaborations in films. The project was intended to be a gritty drama, featuring both Gibson and De Niro in leading roles. However, sources say that after learning De Niro was attached to the film, Gibson immediately pulled out.

While the specifics of the disagreement remain unclear, many have speculated that Gibson’s rejection stems from his long-standing aversion to what he sees as the increasingly “woke” culture in Hollywood. His criticism of modern-day political correctness, along with his disdain for the direction the entertainment industry has taken in recent years, are well-documented. In the past, Gibson has publicly slammed the “woke” movement and its influence on creative freedom, calling it a threat to artistic expression.
