During his stay in Malta, scouting areas for his next big projects, internationally acclaimed director and actor Mel Gibson visited this year’s Regatta champions Birgu and held up the Shield trophy together with the team.
The Birgu Regatta club took to social media to share the bizarre but wholesome moment, posing for a photo with the actor holding up the shield-shaped trophy.
Vittoriosa won this year’s Freedom Day Regatta, beating Senglea and Cospicua, with the latter (who placed 3rd) having shared the trophy with Birgu last year.
For Birgu, it is the first time they have lifted the Victory Day Regatta shield outright since their triumph in 1984.
