Mel Gibson must have been moved by the living conditions he saw in Mexico’s Veracruz state when filming his upcoming flick Apocalypto, because he’s busting out his wallet to build some homes for the people of the region, according to USA Today:
The 50-year-old director-actor will donate the money through the Rotary Club and Mexico’s family welfare agency, government officials announced Thursday.Officials said the donation will be used to construct homes for poor residents of the port city of Veracruz and the city of San Andres Tuxtla.
The dollar amount apparently hasn’t been disclosed, but the article points out that Mel has shown his philanthropic side to Mexico in the past, donating $1 million to the victims of hurricane Stan.
