“California has a lot of problems that sort of baffle the mind as far as why they do things.”
Gibson then began asking questions about to the theory, adding: “Is it on purpose? Do they want the state empty?”
However, the Academy Award winner appeared to have full knowledge of the bizarrely of his postulation, adding: “I can make all kinds of horrible theories up in my head, conspiracy theories and everything else, but it just seemed a little convenient that there was no water.
“And that the wind conditions were right and that there are people ready and willing and able to start fires. And are they commissioned to do so or acting on their own volition? I don’t know.
“But they seem pretty well equipped, these people that they are catching.”
Naturally, Gibson’s remarks have caused quite a stir online, with one social media user slamming the star for sharing this theory on live television, VT reports.
“Conspiracy theories are his last claims to fame,” one penned on Twitter, while someone else said: “Shameful.”
Another said: “Mel Gibson drops LA conspiracy live on Fox News. INSANE.”
And a fourth wrote that they’ll ‘never watch another movie with him in it’.
