> [@Sampiro](#): > > 1. Mel Gibson > > I know, he’s American by birth, but he also identifies as Australian. (No idea what his citizenship status is.) Gibson was never an Australian citizen. He’s been an American citizen all of his life - even when he was living in Australia. In addition, his mother (born Anne Patricia Reilly) was an Irish citizen and under Irish law, this makes Gibson an Irish citizen as well (and he has stated he does hold an Irish passport). Being an Irish citizen also automatically makes Gibson a citizen of the European Union. ---
