President-elect Donald Trump’s naming of Mel Gibson as one of his “special envoys” to Hollywood surprised many, including Gibson himself. Trump on Thursday said Gibson and his fellow pro-Trump actors Sylvester Stallone and Jon Voight would act as his “eyes and ears” in the industry.

Actor Mel Gibson shared his astonishment at being named a special ambassador to Hollywood by Trump, revealing he found out like everyone else.

Mel Gibson says he didn't know Donald Trump was going to name him one of three 'Special Ambassadors' to Hollywood: 'I got the tweet at the same time as all of you and was just as surprised.'
