Exclusive! Mel Gibson Talks 'Machete Kills': 'Bad Guys are Always More Fun'

“Extra’s” Maria Menounos was exclusively on the closed Texas set of “Machete Kills,” talking with star Mel Gibson and director Robert Rodriguez about the highly anticipated indie sequel.

The actor plays a villainous arms dealer named Luther Voz. Mel explained, “He's an evil genius, he's kind of like a Bond villain in the gutter. Bad guys are always more fun, and if you can find the bad in a good guy, it's always more fun.”

The character is also a gourmet chef, and Mel said he's a pretty good cook himself. "My speciality? I make the best hamburger in the United States."
 
Rodriquez, known for his unique casting choices, specifically wrote the villain role for Gibson. “Mel was the only one I was interested in,” said the auteur.
 
Along with Gibson, “Machete Kills” also stars Danny Trejo as Machete, Charlie Sheen as the President of the United States and Sofia Vergara as a dominatrix. It slashes into theaters in 2013.
