Mel Gibson and His Freedoms
(Because I’m made up of 99% laziness and 1% do-it-only-when-I-feel-like-it, I’ve acquired a guest blogger who’ll also perhaps help to inject a little local flavour into this blog. StickManJohnTan and I are related by blood although the only family resemblance we share is that we both look like we belong to the human race. Well, somewhat anyway. As we’re both from the same factory, he’s also been afflicted with 99% laziness and 1% do-it-only-when-I-feel-like-it so if you’re expecting regular blog posts from him, don’t count on it. – Lis)
If any girls became diehard fans (not of Bruce! Though he’s pretty funny in Die Hardest of all Die Hard 4.0) of Mel after watching “What Women Want”, I hate to break this to you. He’s not exactly drool-worthy. But then I’m a man who likes girls, so what do I know about sexy men except being one myself.
Anyhow, I bumped into Mel Gibson (or rather he bumped into me) at the National Museum of Singapore (yes, I’m sexy and culturally-inclined!). Regardless of how pauchy and haggard he looked, it’s still not everyday where you are 5 feet away from a mega hollywood actor cum producer cum director cum Irishman in kilt. I had great trouble deciding whether to holler out “WE FIGHT FOR OUR FREEDOM” or “You drunk racist bigot!”. In the end, I settled for what most normal law-abiding citizens of Singapore will do when they’re standing (5 feet!) in front of a hollywood celebrity: remain in awe and stare your eyeballs out.
After breaking out of the celebrity-trance, I started texting (furiously) a dozen friends that I just saw Mel “Freedom” Gibson (5 feet away!) and promptly received replies ranging from “Huh? in SG?” and “The Asian version?” (who the fuck is the Asian Mel Gibson?) to “Don’t bluff lah” and “What? Where? How did you know it was him?”.
Just another day of celebrity-spotting. I really hope I “bump” into Megan Fox the next time I visit the museum.

Very cool!!! Kudos on not calling Mel something worse as I might have done!
I’m jealous by the way that you got to guest post for Lis. I want that job!!!
;-)
What? Seriously? NO WAI!
Welcome Lis guest blogger.
Great post.
But were you and Mel really naked? If not, you and Mel need to put on some CLOTHES.
You mean ‘no way’ to the guest blog thing? I would love to guest blog for you if you ever need it.
Mel Gibson huh? I never get to see anybody famous. Must come out from under that rock I’m living and go out into the world already … LOL!
Welcome, StickmanJohnTan!
Michael: What other names would you have call Gibson? I’m curious to know.
Meleah: Thanks. Oh, blame Lis for forgetting to add clothes to the stickmen. I specifically asked for a nice stylish suit for me and a kangaroo suit for Mel. But she’s too lazy to add em in. See her 99% laziness disclaimer at the start.
Thats true. She is LAZY.!
(but your stickman is looking great in the comments!)
Probably really mean stuff that mention his worst movies and kilts and drunkenness and I’d keep calling him a leathal weapon…you know, the regular stuff ;-)
Mel, Yes, I’m really lazy!
Michael, I’ll totally take you up on it one of these days!
Haha! cute picture depicting yourself and Mel “The Freedom” Gibson. I’ve got a tip on how to not to feel awkward in the midst of a celebrity that will surely break the ice instantly: Have a few words ready for the next celebrity you come across. Just say to them: “Do you want my autograph?” *wink*

Being from LA I occasionally see celebrities but I have never found a good ice breaker to actually talk to them except when I was talking to them for work. For example i sold a pretzel once to Whoppie Goldberg but I just pretended I didn’t know who she was. She must have liked that because she came back about 4 more times.

Great post and love the pic. Celebrities are so awe inspiring! I once ran into Michael Keaton (right after his Batman movie) and he thought I was his make-up artist from the movie Pacific Heights. I was totally struck dumb and couldn’t speak!!
