Actor Mel Gibson has offered a wild conspiracy theory over the ‘convenient’ circumstances surrounding the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.

Gibson questioned in a bizarre moment with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham if the ruinous fires were ‘commissioned’ in order to move people off valuable property.

‘I can make all kinds of horrible theories up in my head, conspiracy theories and everything else, but it just seemed a little convenient that there was no water,‘ Gibson said.

‘And that the wind conditions were right and that there are people ready and willing and able to start fires.’

The Max Max star then questioned if the theorized fire starters were ‘commissioned’ or ‘just acting on their own volition.’

‘But they seem pretty well equipped. Some of these people that they’re catching,’ he added.

‘I know they were missing with the water, letting reserves go for one reason or another. They’ve been doing that a while. California has a lot of problems that sort of baffle the mind as far as why they do things.’

‘And then in events like this, you sort of look, well, it is on purpose? Which, it’s an insane thing to think. But one begins to ponder whether or not there is a purpose in mind. What could it be? You know, what do they want? The state empty? I don’t know.’
