"I got the tweet at the same time as all of you and was just as surprised. Nevertheless, I heed the call,” said Gibson in a statement.

Mel Gibson said he was surprised to learn that he will serve as a special envoy for Hollywood to President-elect Donald Trump. On Thursday, Trump also said Sylvester Stallone and Jon Voight would serve in that position.

Donald Trump wants to make Hollywood “bigger, better and stronger” and has chosen Mel Gibson, Jon Voight and Sylvester Stallone to help.
