And if your ego\u2019s not that healthy, if you actually realize there\u2019s something greater than you and find a little bit of humility, you\u2019re not going to get hit as hard, even if you do get hit, because you\u2019re gonna realize that there\u2019s a purpose in it, and you\u2019re not the most important thing in the world, and that there\u2019s a way to deal with that stuff, and almost be grateful for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cBraveheart\u201d director and star explained that it\u2019s about how a person will almost get to a point where they are \u201cgrateful\u201d for the struggle.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cMad Max\u201d star said another theme in the film is the fact that it\u2019s \u201cnever too late to fix stuff,\u201d noting how he has nine kids and he hasn\u2019t \u201cbeen a perfect parent.\u201d He added that he\u2019s \u201crealized on a few occasions that you can kind of go back and fix stuff if you missed it the first time around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe sooner you realize there\u2019s something bigger than all of us, the easier it\u2019s going to be in your life,\u201d Gibson concluded. \u201cHard jump to make for a lot of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gibson\u2019s latest film stars Mark Wahlberg who plays Father Stuart Long, a boxer who becomes a Catholic priest.\u00a0A description on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt14439896\/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\">IMDb reads<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Follows the life of Father Stuart Long, a boxer-turned-priest who inspired countless people during his journey from self-destruction to redemption.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>At the end, Watters asked Gibson about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/heartbroken-will-smith-announces-hes-resigned-from-the-academy\">Will Smith<\/a> slapping Chris Rock at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/will-smith-struck-chris-rock-in-the-face-at-oscars-after-he-cracked-a-joke-about-jada-pinkett-smiths-hair-loss\">94th Academy Awards<\/a> after the comedian cracked a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith\u2019s shaved head amid her hair loss battle.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of answering, a voice came over from the background that announced the time had expired for their interview.<\/p>\n<p>As previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/heartbroken-will-smith-announces-hes-resigned-from-the-academy\">reported<\/a> by the Daily Wire:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Will Smith announced Friday that he has resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and admitted he\u2019s \u201cheartbroken\u201d about having to do so following \u201cdisciplinary proceedings\u201d by the Oscars over him slapping Chris Rock.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI have directly responded to the Academy\u2019s disciplinary hearing notice, and I will fully accept any and all consequences for my conduct,\u201d the 53-year-old actor shared in a statement, reported Deadline.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cMy actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable,\u201d he added. \u201cThe list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris [Rock], his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home.
