The Gibson Dynasty: Where Are Mel Gibson's 7 Sons Now In 2025?
Mel Gibson, the iconic and often controversial Hollywood figure, is a father to a sprawling family of nine children, including seven sons, whose lives span the spectrum from following their father into the film industry to maintaining fiercely private existences. As of December 2025, the newest generation of the Gibson family continues to make headlines, whether through major film projects or by deliberately stepping away from the intense glare of the spotlight. The public’s curiosity about this extensive dynasty remains high, especially as Mel Gibson himself continues his prolific career, recently directing the 2025 action-thriller *Flight Risk*, starring Mark Wahlberg.
The lives of Mel Gibson’s sons offer a fascinating look at the challenges and opportunities of growing up in one of Hollywood’s most famous, yet intensely private, families. While the names Milo and Louis Gibson are becoming recognized in their own right for their work in acting and directing, their siblings have chosen various paths, with many opting for careers behind the camera or entirely outside of show business. This deep dive explores the complete biography of the sons and what each of them is doing today, providing the most current updates available.

The Sons Who Followed the Hollywood Trail: Milo, Louis, and Christian
While only one of Mel Gibson's sons has truly embraced a full-time acting career in the public eye, several others are deeply entrenched in the filmmaking world, preferring to work behind the scenes. This choice allows them to utilize their industry connections while maintaining a degree of privacy their father never had.
Milo Gibson: The Actor Stepping into the Limelight
Milo Gibson is the most recognizable of Mel's sons, having successfully transitioned into an acting career. Born in Australia, Milo initially worked as an electrician before deciding to pursue acting in his mid-twenties. His on-screen debut came in his father's directorial masterpiece, the critically acclaimed 2016 war film, *Hacksaw Ridge*.
Since his debut, Milo has steadily built his filmography, taking on roles in a variety of genres. He starred in the action-thriller *All the Devil's Men* and the drama *Breaking & Exiting*. His collaboration with his brother, Louis, in the 2022 film *Manifest West*, where he played the lead role of a father who moves his family off the grid, showcased his range.
As of 2025, Milo’s career continues to gain momentum. He is often cited as a star to watch and has been working on a new project that pairs him with another Hollywood legacy figure: Francesca Eastwood, the daughter of legendary actor and director Clint Eastwood. This collaboration highlights the growing trend of Hollywood dynasties teaming up for new, compelling projects. His commitment to the craft is undeniable, having successfully navigated the challenges of a high-profile last name to establish his own professional identity.
Louis Gibson: The Director and Writer
Louis Gibson, often referred to as Louie, has chosen the path of a filmmaker, focusing on the creative roles of writer and director. This choice aligns him more closely with his father’s work behind the camera on films like *Braveheart* and *The Passion of the Christ*. Louis co-wrote and co-directed the 2022 drama *Manifest West*, a project which also starred his brother Milo.
His work demonstrates a clear interest in complex, character-driven narratives, indicating a desire to forge a distinct artistic path separate from his father’s blockbuster action reputation. Louis's decision to work with his brother Milo on *Manifest West* suggests a strong collaborative bond among the Gibson siblings who are active in the industry, potentially forming a new creative partnership in Hollywood.
Christian Gibson: The Man Behind the Camera
Christian Gibson, one of Mel's fraternal twin sons, also works in the film industry but largely behind the scenes. Christian is a professional Steadicam operator, a highly skilled role that requires technical precision and a steady hand to capture smooth, dynamic shots on set. His work on *Hacksaw Ridge* alongside his father and brother Milo is a notable credit, demonstrating that multiple Gibson sons were involved in the 2016 Oscar-nominated production.
While he has also taken on minor acting roles, his primary career as a cinematographer and camera operator highlights the varied ways the Gibson children have chosen to engage with the world of cinema, often preferring the technical and creative aspects to the front-facing pressure of acting.
The Private Lives: Edward, William, Thomas, and Lars Gerard
For several of Mel Gibson’s sons, the choice to avoid the public eye is a conscious and persistent one. The sheer number of his children, combined with the intense media scrutiny their father has faced, has led a number of them to seek normal, private lives away from the celebrity machine.
Edward Gibson, Christian’s twin brother, is one of the most private. Very little is known about his personal or professional life, a rarity for the child of a major Hollywood star. Similarly, William “Will” Gibson and Thomas Gibson, the youngest son from Mel’s first marriage, have successfully kept their careers and personal lives out of the media. This collective decision to step back from the spotlight speaks volumes about the value of anonymity they have found, despite their famous lineage.
The youngest of the seven sons is Lars Gerard Gibson, born in 2017 to Mel Gibson’s current partner, writer and former equestrian vaulter Rosalind Ross. Lars, who is only eight years old in 2025, is still a child, but his birth represents the newest generation of the family dynasty. His mother, Rosalind Ross, is a successful writer and is over 30 years Mel’s junior, bringing a new dynamic to the family unit.
The Future of the Gibson Dynasty in Hollywood
The Gibson name continues to resonate in Hollywood, not just through Mel Gibson’s own work—such as his 2025 directorial effort *Flight Risk*—but through the emerging careers of his sons. The parallel paths of Milo and Louis Gibson, one an actor and the other a director, suggest the potential for a new, powerful filmmaking duo in the industry.
The family’s collective story is a testament to the complex nature of celebrity offspring. While some embrace the family business and the platform it provides, others choose to prioritize a quiet life, using their father’s legacy as a shield rather than a stepping stone. Whether in front of the camera, behind the camera, or entirely off the grid, the seven sons of Mel Gibson are each writing their own unique chapter in the ongoing history of one of Hollywood’s most enduring, and private, dynasties.
