The crying video he made for social media quickly became a meme, but the reality behind the clip was sensitive for Gibson. At one point he shared he was almost broke and “swimming in legal fees and said that medications he was taking were the reason behind his public meltdown.

Now that the worst is behind him, Gibson chatted with The YBF at the screening Black & Blue about the premise the film and why it was the “right” project for him. “I can tell you right now that, for me personally, doing this movie meant so much more than people could imagine because I just came f the worst year and a half, public and private, that anyone has ever seen,” he said, joking that The YBF didn’t have to link back to his crying video. “We don’t gotta recall none that! So, not only was this my first movie after all my traumas, but it was the first right movie. It was the right first movie.” Check out his full interview and the infamous crying clip below.
