Sunday evening was the closing ceremony for the Cannes Film Festival, the least glamorous Cannes in a long, long time. There just weren’t that many HUGE stars or giant, notable moments. I was loving the Charlize Theron-Sean Penn awkwardness, but most people weren’t paying attention. And they weren’t paying attention when Mel Gibson came out in the last two days to premiere his new film, Blood Father, which just sounds like a rip-off of Taken. The movie is not important though. What’s important is that Mel made his red-carpet debut with girlfriend Rosalind Ross.
Mel is currently 60 years old, and Rosalind is 25. Yes, that’s a 35-year age difference. Rosalind and Mel got together about a year ago, and Mel has taken Rosalind under his wing… sort of. She’s a screenwriter, but she’s basically just spent the last year traveling around with Mel as he films movies. They’ve gone on lots of vacations together too. Mel and Rosalind’s May-December romance has caused some fluttering in the tabloids, but for the most part, they’re ignored.
Still, Mel wants you to know that he still has what it takes to get a perfectly attractive, healthy 25-year-old girlfriend. He’s so clearly showing her off, and I have to say… she looks like she’s enjoying herself too. Good luck to her! It’s all fun and games until you don’t do what he wants in the Jacuzzi.

This girl has no self respect. Ugh some woman.
Good luck, sugar tits.
Ha!
Ha ha , Belle!
yeah, this made me laugh, too.
Right? I’m 25, my dad is 55; I’ll be so disgusted with myself if I ever date someone older than him or even closer in age.
Clint Eastwood’s last wife Dina was 35 years his junior. Her dad was 21 when he had her. So she married a man 14 years older than her father – and had a kid with him!
Hugh Hefner was 36 years older than ex-wife Heather who he had two kids with. Of course that kind of thing is expected from him. He’s 60 years older than his current wife Crystal.
90-year-old Dick Van Dyke married some woman in her early 40s awhile back, although they genuinely seem to have a real connection of some kind.
Anthony Quinn had his last child at 81. No idea how old the wife was, but to be of maternal age she must’ve been at least 35 years younger than him.
Charlie Chaplin was 36 years older than last wife Oona; she had 8 kids with him.
Point being, this is nothing new for the rich and famous. Money works for men like Mel. That being said, I’ve known of some couples with massive age gaps where the girl couldn’t have been a gold-digger b/c the old man didn’t have anything.
Btw Rosalind is only 34 years younger than Mel, not 35. He turned 60 in January and she turns 26 in July.
If she wants to bang an old dude for the connections I feel like she could bang one who wasn’t a violent, wife-beating anti-Semite.
“It’s all fun and games until you don’t do what he wants in the Jacuzzi”….that was my very first thought when I saw these pics!
And she may be healthy on the outside but mentally…I worry for any woman who would be with Mel and if she is mentally okay, she may not be once he’s done with her. He really is s!ck and won’t change because he seems to think nothing is wrong with his thoughts & behaviors.
Ugh, i wouldnt touch him with a ten foot pole for a thousand bucks. That skin colour doesnt look healthy at all.
must. vomit.
he looks like a death-eater, manically grinning at his prey.
Oh Mel, those teeth are terrible! Find a new dentist!
What’s wrong with his teeth? Have you seen Johnny Depp’s teeth? Gibson’s teeth look healthy compared to Depp’s nightmare teeth.
His teeth are fine except they are attached to an asshole.
hahahaha!!!
Co-sign hahaha!
Lolololol, yes
i’m sure he delights her with his broadsword and whatever it is he has under all that kilt and woad.
whatever makes the both of them happy, i guess, and 25 is plenty old enough to decide if Mel makes her happy and keeps her heart warm at night.
and maybe he will find a calming effect off her. i hope to anything that she stays safe above all.
btw Taken and Liam Neeson is still the one to beat for me. all the other pales in comparison.
Ewww…that’s all I’ve got.
She’s a sometimes screenwriter, huh?
No fool like a…
Only thing I thought was… I’m sure his kids are older than her now. He’s got 8-9 of them lol. Mel, I never saw this as your road when i was a kid.
Ugggh.
Well. Besides the obvious disgust I have for both of them… she’s quite pretty.
He doesn’t even look like her dad. He looks like her GRANDFATHER.
I turn 60 this year. He is an old looking 60. ( I’M not a stunner by any stretch but look a hell of a lot better than that.) Being a dick will age you.
Very LA. Very typical.
He bought a one-way ticket to looneytoons-ville some time ago. Crazy old fool. (She sure likes having her picture taken!)
This is the place where it’s okay to be judgemental and bitchy, right? Then… EWWWW. There are some remarkable exceptions, but most of the time it’s just weird to be dating someone younger than your children.
I am 28 years old. The thought of kissing someone older than my father gives me the heeby jeebies. No thank you.
“Mel wants you to know that he still has what it takes to get a perfectly attractive, healthy 25-year-old girlfriend.”
yeah, it’s called $$$.
looks like a dad with his daughter, except for the whole kissing thing. ew.
He’s only SIXTY?? Misogyny and anti-Semitism can really age a person.
Yuck to the whole sordid affair. Good luck with that digging girl.
You in danger, girl!
one of the least offensive things he did.
and she will be pregnant in one…two….three! Every golddigger knows you need the money baby from the old geezer!!
Of course she’s having fun. All of Mel’s money and gifts are why.
I thought she was his co-star and that they promoted his new movie (oops)
Ugh-gross. Is the money really worth it?? I really can’t imagine being 25 and being with a 60 year old-particularly that 60 year old! She’s very pretty. If she’s out for money, I’m sure she could find a man in his 30’s or 40’s. Why Mel? She must have some major Daddy (or Granddaddy!) issues.
She looks a bit like an older Vanessa Hudgens….for whatever that is worth.
Flash forward a few years, we will be hearing about a 911 call or a lawsuit.
Well, there’s no fool like an old fool. That’s for dang sure!
