Mel Gibson spoke publicly for the first time about his war of words with screenwriter Joe Eszterhas on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno Friday night, showing a sense of humor about his now infamous rants, which have been caught on tape on myriad occasions.
"Maybe you don't know this about me, but I've got a little bit of a temper," joked Mel, who did not seem to take kindly to the fact that Eszterhas recorded him in the privacy of his home: "Has it really come to the place where you can't blow off steam in your own home, even if you're justified?"
