Mel Gibson is facing criticism after allegedly mocking a deaf American Sign Language interpreter during a recent appearance.

The incident occurred at Saturday's Fan Expo Canada in Toronto, where Gibson was introduced by moderator Liam Crowley.

Video shows Gibson walking onstage behind an interpreter who was signing for deaf attendees, then turning to the audience and making his own hand gestures.

Crowley appeared unfazed by Gibson's actions, but social media users had a strong reaction.

One person on X wrote, "This is despicable!" while another called him "a gross human being."

Some commenters urged caution, suggesting more information was needed before concluding Gibson was mocking the interpreter.

A critic shared a clip of the moment and referenced Gibson's "track record with racist and misogynistic views."

Gibson's representative has not yet responded to requests for comment.
