Mel Gibson says he lost his Malibu home to the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires while he was recording an episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast. The controversial and award-winning actor/director opened up about the experience during an interview with NewsNation’s “Elizabeth Vargas Reports.”
“I was kind of ill at ease while we were talking [on the podcast] because I knew my neighborhood was on fire. So I was like, ‘Eh, I wonder if my place is still there.’ But when I got home, sure enough it wasn’t there,” Gibson told Vargas on Thursday. “I got home and I said to myself, ‘At least I don’t have any of those pesky plumbing problems anymore.’”
