Mel Gibson: Tina Saved Me From Booze


Ageing heart-throb MEL GIBSON has one person to thank in beating his battle against alcohol - Tina Turner. The WE WERE SOLDIERS (2002) actor starred alongside the singing legend in the 1985 movie Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985) and found the diva's advice helpful.

Mel says, "She handed me a photo of myself one day. She'd written on it, 'Don't f**k this up. ' I thought, 'What did she mean?' It wasn't too long before I figured out. "
