Mel Gibson Considers Costa Rica  3/12/07

Mel Gibson is musing over the idea of turning his favorite holiday destination into a permanent home after confessing he could quit Hollywood for Costa Rica.

The actor/director, who made Apocalypto in Latin America and is reportedly making back-to-back films in Panama, admits he is interested in becoming a homeowner in Costa Rica.

He says, "I thought about it. Maybe I'll just come down here sometimes and spend my holidays."

Gibson has been enjoying a working holiday in Costa Rica, while scouting out new movie locations for his upcoming epic, a biopic of Spanish explorer Vasco Nunez De Balboa.
