Mel Gibson spoofs KFC founder in TV commercial

Hollywood actor Mel Gibson has acted in a spoof trailer for a film telling the story of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) founder Colonel Sanders.

Dailymail.co.uk reports the 53-year-old actor grew a moustache and goatee for the gag showing the colonel seeking revenge against chickens after his true love Josephine is killed by the birds.

"I shall not stop until every last one of them is dead. Finger licking dead," he declares in the ad after being handed the original KFC recipe by his beloved.

The clip runs for two minutes.
