Two Hollywood stars, Mel Gibson and Ed Harris sent letters to the Malibu City Council in opposition to 5G poles planned close to their homes.
Mel Gibson is best known for his action hero roles, particularly as Max Rockatansky in the first action series Mad Max and as Martin Riggs in Lethal Weapon. He directed many movies including Hacksaw Ridge which won two Academy Awards. Ed Harris is an Academy Award-nominated actor, known for his performances in “The Right Stuff”, “The Abyss”, “Apollo 13”, “Pollock”, and “The Truman Show”.
Mel Gibson’s letter on the 5G tower states:
“I oppose these planned wireless facilities — said he opposed 5G wireless installments and ask that you do what you can to slow, limit, and where possible, stop their deployment.”
Ed Harris’s letter on the 5G towers states:
“If these towers were safe on any level, why do workers have to come in unmarked trucks in the middle of the night? I thought the city of Malibu had passed an ordinance that was supposed to keep the cell towers out of residential areas, put them along the main arteries through town, and take extra precautions in our city that has been gutted by fire a couple times in recent memory.”
“As I talk to my neighbors and we learn more about the health and fire risks associated with these cell towers, I am amazed the city has left us so defenseless.”

European Parliament requested a research report “Health Impact of 5G” which was released in July 2021 and concluded that commonly used RFR frequencies (450 to 6000 MHz) are probably carcinogenic for humans and affect male fertility with possible adverse effects on the development of embryos, fetuses and newborns.
A review entitled “Evidence for a health risk by RF on humans living around mobile phone base stations: From radiofrequency sickness to cancer reviewed the existing scientific literature and found radiofrequency sickness, cancer and changes in biochemical parameters (Balmori 2022).
- A large-scale animal study published in Environmental Research found rats exposed to cell tower emission RF levels had elevated cancers, the very same cancers also found in the US National Toxicology Program animal study of cell phone RF. Falcioni 2018
- A study published in Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine found changes in blood considered biomarkers predictive of cancer in people living closer to cell antenna arrays (Zothansiama 2017).
- A study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health found higher exposure to cell arrays linked to higher mortality from all cancer and specifically lung and breast cancer (Rodrigues 2021).
