Oscar winner Mel Gibson who is already an actor, film director, producer and screenwriter, is now a hypnotist, too. The 54-year-old star has learnt the power of suggestion and the trick to put people into a trance by leading Australian expert Rick Collingwood, who spent 10 days at the star’s Los Angeles home. "Mel’s a natural, he’s got the look as well as piercing blue eyes. He’s going to be a great hypnotist," the Daily Express quoted Collingwood as saying.

“Mel’s brother Chris has been into hypnotism for a long time and he talked to Mel about it over the phone and Mel got interested, too,” he added. Now a singleton, the father-of-eight could perhaps use his new skills to impress the ladies.
