In Louisville!

In a surprise visit, Mel Gibson ate chicken and rice, signed autographs and posed for pictures with residents and staff at the St. Joseph’s Home on Poplar Level Road Wednesday. It was all a big surprise for the Little Sisters of the Poor when the Hollywood mogul brought them a private showing of his movie, “The Passion of the Christ.” WAVE 3’s James Zambroski reports.

“And all of a sudden, this gentleman walks in and mother recognized him right away, it was Mel Gibson,” said Sister Gonzague.

Gibson’s production company called last, week offering the Little Sisters of the Poor in Louisville a private showing of “The Passion of the Christ.”
