Jim Caviezel belted out Mel Gibson's iconic battle cry from "
Braveheart" while speaking to a crowd of QAnon supporters in Las Vegas over the weekend.
The conservative actor, 53 — who most famously worked with Gibson on the 2004 film "
The Passion of the Christ" — gave a rambling 20-minute address at the "For God & Country: Patriot Double Down" conference,
rallying the far-right crowd to fight for their freedom. The moment was
captured in footage that's now going viral on social media.
The four-day event featured "a guest lineup of QAnon sympathizers and extremist-right figureheads," according to
the Las Vegas Sun. Tickets started at a staggering $650.
Caviezel was among 40 far-right speakers who took to the stage. Others included Jason Sullivan, a former Roger Stone aide
best-known for working on Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, and Dr. Stella Immanuel, who
hit headlines after claiming Hydroxychloroquine cured COVID-19.
However, it was Caviezel's appearance that attracted the most attention on social media.

Passion of the Christ, the other one, the
Sound of Freedom) is a biopic about Tim Ballard, whose Operation Underground Railroad NGO works to bust child sex slave rings and has thus far freed several hundred children. That movie - after many delays and setbacks, is now finally out:
