Mel Gibson has been on a wild ride since he shot "What Women Want" in 2000. The 63 year old achieved major success when he directed and produced "The Passion of the Christ," which grossed more than $611 million, in 2004. By 2006, however, he was spiraling. He was arrested for DUI and his anti-Semitic outburst during the arrest — plus other racist comments he made in 2010 — led to him being blacklisted in Hollywood for nearly a decade. Mel launched his official comeback in 2016 when he directed "Hacksaw Ridge," which won two Academy Awards and was nominated for another four, including best picture and best director. He most recently starred in 2018's "Dragged Across Concrete." Mel's longtime wife, Robyn — the mother of seven of his children — filed for divorce in 2009, the same year he went public and welcomed a daughter with Russian pianist Oksana Grigorieva, with whom he had a tumultuous relationship laced with claims of domestic violence. He moved on with former champion equestrian Rosalind Ross, who's nearly 35 years his junior, in 2014. They welcomed a son together — Mel's ninth child — in 2017.

Helen Hunt starred as Darcy McGuire, Nick's co-worker who later becomes his love interest, in 2000's "What Women Want."

Helen Hunt has continued to have a successful career in Hollywood as both an actress and a director. The 55-year-old California native went on to star in "Pay It Forward," "Cast Away," "Bobby" and "Soul Surfer" and direct "Then She Found Me." In 2012, she earned Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations for her performance in "The Sessions." Helen most recently starred in 2018's "The Miracle Season" and "Candy Jar." She welcomed a daughter, Makena, with longtime partner Matthew Carnahan in 2004. The couple split in 2017 after 16 years together.

Ashley Johnson starred as Alexandra "Alex" Marshall, Nick's estranged 15-year-old daughter who comes to stay with him while her mom and stepdad go on their honeymoon, in "What Women Want."
