Actually no I’m not, which is why I’m so surprised. I grew up without cable tv or internet. Only had 4 or 5 channels. Never heard him speak outside of movies until later on when he didn’t have the accent. Watched Mad Max as a kid but it probably didn’t register then or I just thought it was part of the acting.
Mel Gibson is a natural born American citizen, but his family moved to Australia when he was 10 years old I believe. He started using an American accent again when he starred in Lethal Weapon.
Never heard him talk with an accent before. I know I’m probably the only one but it caught me off guard.
You must be young.

Indeed. Mel had his Australian accent in the Mad Max movies.
It'll fade over time.
I moved to the states when I was younger for three years. (Near philly)
Moving out there, everyone noticed the british accent.
Move back home, get called a fcking yank all the time and have peicks singing yankee doodle dandy.
You slowly adapt.
