Mel Gibson has been super successful as both an actor and a director throughout his career in Hollywood. Shortly before the premiere of his movie Apocalypto, he was caught driving under the influence which led him to utter anti-semitic slurs on camera. This led to people boycotting his movies and the actor in general. He has had scandal after scandal and many productions have a hard time giving him roles because of his poor reputation. Nowadays he tends to stay behind the camera, but looking at the bright side, he got nominated for an Oscar for directing the movie Hacksaw Ridge back in 2017.
