Does Mel Gibson do his own stunts if not why he blame stunt double for that drink and drive business?

Mel Gibson has performed many of his own stunts throughout his career, including some particularly dangerous ones. For example, in the movie "Braveheart", he famously rode a horse while it was being set on fire. However, he has also used stunt doubles for certain stunts, such as in the movie "Lethal Weapon", where he was doubled for a high-fall.

In 2006, Mel Gibson was involved in a highly-publicized drunk driving incident. Although he was the one driving, he later blamed his stunt double for the incident, claiming that it was actually the stunt double who had been driving. This claim was widely ridiculed and did not exonerate Gibson from his actions.

It is important to note that stunt doubles are highly skilled professionals who are trained to perform dangerous stunts safely. While they may be used for certain stunts that are deemed too risky for the actor, they do not take away from the actor's own stunt work.
