Mel Gibson Slams 'Da Vinci Code'

Catholic actor Mel Gibson has slammed "The Da Vinci
Code" book and movie for attacking the beliefs that he
holds sacred, World Entertainment Network reported.

"The Passion of the Christ" star has been outraged
about the thriller's controversial plot concerning
Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene. 

Gibson says, "What worries me is that people will take
this as fact.

"I'm not angry, per se, that it refutes everything I
hold sacred, the foundations of my beliefs. The Da
Vinci Code is an admitted work of fiction but it
cleverly weaves fact into maverick theories in a way
that will appear plausible to some." 

The angry star was actually the first choice of Dr.
Robert Lomas (the intellectual who inspired the Robert
Langdon character) to play him. Tom Hanks plays
Langdon in the film. 

Lomas says, "In an ideal world I'd quite like to have
been played by Mel Gibson."
