Gibson talks Mad Max 4

With the fairly recent announcement that MAD MAX 4 (entitled FURY ROAD) looks to get younger by replacing the iconic Mel Gibson with Tom Hardy, there’s no doubt the film is set to polarize audiences. I mean, A MAD MAX picture without the real Max? Sacrilege, right?

Well, looks like the good folks at the Australia Herald have caught up the man himself for a few words on the new George Miller installment. And you know what, dude offered a sparsity of words.

And here they are:

“Oh gosh, I don’t know what he’s up to…Not with me, I don’t think, man, I’m a bit old and long in the tooth for that number. You need somebody who can get around a bit quicker.”

Really? If Indy can smoke villains at 65 (Harry Ford), I have faith Gibson could still rock the helmet and shades a 56. Don’t you?

But that’s all academic. We will however get to see my girl Charlize Theron cutting it up with the best of ‘em come 2011 (when the project sees release).

Something tells me though we’re far from seeing the last of Gibby onscreen.
