Hollywood actor and director Mel Gibson is contemplating a move to Costa Rica following the devastating fires that recently swept through his Malibu neighborhood. During an interview on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Gibson revealed that his house was engulfed in flames, and he is now seriously considering relocating to his property in Costa Rica.
The Los Angeles wildfires, which have been raging for over a week, have caused widespread destruction, displacing thousands of residents and claiming numerous lives. Gibson’s home in Malibu was one of the many properties destroyed by the inferno. “My neighborhood looks like an inferno,” Gibson told Rogan, expressing his shock and sadness over the situation.
Gibson, who has owned a property in Costa Rica for many years, spoke fondly of the Central American country during the podcast. “I have a place in Costa Rica, and I love it,” he said. “It’s a beautiful, peaceful area, not very touristy, and I feel very safe there.”
The actor highlighted Costa Rica’s strong social policies, particularly its emphasis on education and healthcare, which he believes sets it apart from other countries in the region. “Costa Rica has never had a culture of death like some other Central American nations,” Gibson noted, adding that he finds the country’s natural beauty and tranquility appealing.
While Gibson has not made a final decision, he acknowledged that the recent events have made him seriously consider making Costa Rica his permanent home. “It’s definitely an option,” he said. “I love the place, and it might be time to make it my main residence.”
As the fires continue to rage and the community grapples with the aftermath, Gibson’s potential move to Costa Rica has sparked interest and curiosity among fans and media alike. Only time will tell if the actor will make the leap and start a new chapter of his life in the lush landscapes of Costa Rica.
