George Harrison's Awkward Joke in Response to Meeting Mel Gibson
George Harrison had many hilarious run-ins with other celebrities, including one with actor Mel Gibson. Even though George wrote a song for Gibson’s Lethal Weapon 2, the pair didn’t meet until years later.
However, Gibson should have known that the “quiet Beatle” wasn’t so quiet. George knew how to give a witty response in any situation, even if he was meeting a famous actor.
