In July, 2006, Gibson was arrested for drunk driving.  In his well publicized arrest while drunk, he cursed at the arresting officers, accused them of being Jews (they were), and remarked that Jews were responsible for all the wars in the world.<ref>Gibson's anti-Semetic Tirade http://www.tmz.com/2006/07/28/gibsons-anti-semitic-tirade-alleged-cover-up/</ref>  Gibson was against the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, a war that was ongoing at that time.  Gibson publicly apologized for his behavior, then publicly apologized a second time.  He asked all people, especially the Jewish community, to help him in overcoming his alcoholic tendencies.

Although Gibson is rather quiet about his charitable work, he and his family are known to be quite prolific in helping various causes that need assistance.  This is especially true after the windfall of money he made from the Passion of the Christ.
