Mel Gibson Speaks for the First Time: “To This Day, No One Can Explain It.”

For decades, Mel Gibson has been a lightning rod in Hollywood.
An Oscar-winning actor, director, and producer, he is one of the rare few who has dared to challenge the powerful — not just with his art, but with his bold declarations of faith.

Now, for the first time in years, Gibson has spoken out about something deeply personal.
Something mysterious.
Something that even now — despite all the experts and skeptics — remains utterly unexplainable.

In a candid, emotional moment, Mel Gibson declared:

“To this day, no one can explain it.”

What he was referring to has left both believers and critics stunned — and reignited a powerful conversation about faith, miracles, and the unseen hand of God in our lives.

The Burden and the Blessing of “The Passion of the Christ”

It all began during the filming of The Passion of the Christ — the landmark 2004 film Gibson directed, produced, and financed largely on his own.

From the start, Gibson described feeling a spiritual burden — almost as if he was being guided but also opposed at every turn.

Production was plagued with bizarre setbacks:

Unexpected illnesses

Equipment failures

Freak accidents

And relentless media attacks long before the film was even released.

Yet somehow, through it all, the movie not only survived — it thrived.

“There were things that happened on that set that you can’t just chalk up to coincidence,” Gibson said.
“There were moments when we all felt it — a presence, a protection, something greater than ourselves.”

He revealed that both he and Jim Caviezel (the actor portraying Jesus) experienced powerful, unexplained moments during filming — moments that many on set described as miraculous.

The Strikes of Lightning — And the Strike of Faith

One of the most dramatic events occurred during the filming of the Sermon on the Mount scene.

Jim Caviezel was literally struck by lightning — twice.

Miraculously, he survived with no lasting injuries.

Gibson reflected on that moment with a solemn expression:
“It’s not normal. It’s not explainable. It’s almost as if something or Someone was saying, ‘Pay attention. This is important.’”

Caviezel himself later said he believed he was meant to experience it — to understand, in a small way, the suffering and divine mission of Christ.

“I felt like I had been given a glimpse,” Caviezel said.
“A tiny, painful glimpse of something so much bigger than me.”

“We Were Protected”

Mel Gibson went on to share that despite everything — the injuries, the accidents, the opposition — no serious tragedies occurred during production.

Not one fatality.
Not one lawsuit.
Not one lawsuit that stuck, despite countless attempts.

In a business where lawsuits are common and minor injuries can shut down multimillion-dollar projects, The Passion seemed to move forward under a shield no one could see — but everyone could feel.

“There’s no human explanation for it,” Gibson said.
“To this day, no one can explain it.”

He believes fervently that divine protection surrounded the film because it was meant to reach the world with its message: the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

And reach the world it did.

The Hollywood Rejection — And the Worldwide Awakening

Despite facing near-total rejection by Hollywood — no major studio would touch the project — The Passion of the Christ became a global phenomenon.

It grossed over $600 million worldwide.

It shattered box office records for religious films.

It brought millions of people to tears — and, for many, to their knees.

“It wasn’t about the money,” Gibson insisted.
“It was about the message. It was about reminding people of the greatest act of love in human history.”

The film sparked revivals, confession lines around the block, and conversions that continue to be reported to this day.

And for Mel Gibson, that was always the point.

“This wasn’t my story,” he said.
“It’s His story. I just got to help tell it.”

“You Don’t Have to Understand It to Believe It”

In closing, Gibson offered a powerful reflection:

“People want scientific explanations for everything. But the greatest truths aren’t always things you can measure. Love, sacrifice, redemption — these things are real. But you can’t put them under a microscope.”

He continued:

“You don’t have to understand everything to believe in it.
You just have to have the courage to say: ‘I see the fingerprints of God. And I choose to believe.’”

And with that, Mel Gibson reaffirmed something he has lived by, even when it cost him friendships, opportunities, and reputation:

Faith over fear.
Truth over popularity.
Christ over the world.

No matter how the elites try to explain it away, some things will always point to the divine.
And for Mel Gibson, The Passion of the Christ was one of those moments — a living, breathing, miraculous testimony.

“To this day,” he said one final time,
“no one can explain it. And that’s how I know it was real.”
