Mel Gibson Appointed as Trump’s Special Envoy to Revitalize Hollywood

The actor vows to tackle California's challenges, including high taxes and prohibitive regulations, while praising Trump’s wildfire relief efforts.

Mel Gibson has been named one of President Donald Trump’s special envoys to Hollywood, alongside Jon Voight and Sylvester Stallone, to address the industry's economic struggles.
Gibson criticized California's tax policies and regulations, arguing they drive film productions out of the state and make it more cost-effective to shoot abroad.
The actor expressed his commitment to working on solutions, including better tax incentives, to make California competitive for the film industry again.
Gibson, who lost his home in the recent Los Angeles wildfires, praised Trump’s visit to the affected areas, likening it to decisive leadership and calling for swift action.
Trump’s appointment of Hollywood ambassadors aims to reverse the trend of industry professionals leaving California, which has seen significant population declines in recent years.
