daughter

. A difficult start before taking a look at these Revelations. We must first understand what made Charles the man he was. Charles Bronson had a difficult start in life and that had a huge impact on who he became later in life. He was born on November 3, 1921 in Scoop Town, a part of Aronfeld, Pennsylvania, which was a coal mine. city, his real name was Charles Binsky and he was the 11th child of 15 born to parents who had come from Lithuania. His father died when he was only 10 years old due to lung disease caused by working in the mines for years.

It wasn't easy for Charles and his family, they struggled a lot and were barely making ends meet. Charles experienced poverty firsthand when he was just 6 years old. His family couldn't even afford to buy new clothes for him, so he had to wear a dress that had been given to him at school. From one of his older sisters, can you imagine that? And fast forward to when he was just 16 years old, Charles found himself working hard in the coal mines earning $1 for every ton of coal he dug out of the ground. It was a grueling job that he always sought.

Returning with bitterness those six years left him with hands worn by hard work and scars on his legs and torso that never went away. Spending countless hours in the dark, narrow tunnels took a toll on him, causing him frequent headaches and a fear of confined spaces. I can still smell the coal in my nose, he often said, reflecting on those difficult times. Then, in 1943, he was called up to serve in the army, but you know how stories can go awry over time, much later, when he became an actor, people would say. He was a tail gunner in World War II, but one smart reporter did a little more digging and discovered that Mr.

Bronson actually trained as a gunner in Arizona and spent his days driving a delivery truck during the war, once it was over. , Mr. Bronson didn't limit himself to just one job, no, he tried his hand at all kinds of things, laying bricks, flipping burgers as a short-order cook and even picking onions in New York, then headed to Atlantic City, where He rented beach chairs along the boardwalk and guess what fate intervened when he crossed paths with some actors vacationing in Philadelphia. He convinced them to let him show off his painting skills for their sets. Well, they were very impressed and not only hired him but even gave him the opportunity to do a little.

Now acting himself, Bronson, who began painting, discovered something unexpected. He loved acting even more. In 1949, he packed his bags and headed to California, where he joined classes at the Pasadena Playhouse to learn the art of acting there, the young Mr. Bronson, only 27 years old. He falls in love with the charms of an 18-year-old aspiring actress named Harriet Tendler, they married that same year after a while, he began to get small roles in movies, he played all kinds of characters, tough guys, builders and even those Scrappy Fighters you see on screen, but this is what Mr. Bronson didn't quite fit into the mold of the typical leading man of his time, like the types Suave Carrie Grant, no, he once joked that his voice sounded so funny that it seemed more prey than a leading man in his In his early days in Hollywood he didn't get much recognition, he may have been seen in movies, but he wasn't getting top billing.

At first he was called Charles Binsky, but in 1954 he starred in a film called Drum Beat alongside Alan Lad and it was then that he officially became Charles Bronson, which is why the name changed. During those times there was a lot of fear about communism led by a man named Senator Joseph R. McCarthy. Mr. Bronson

thought

it would be wise to drop his Russian-sounding last name considering all the fuss. about communism, so he became Charles Bronson, a name that would soon be known throughout Hollywood; However, he wasn't always in big-budget films; In fact, one of his first jobs was a film called Machine Gun Kelly, made on a small budget.

Just 8 days ago in 1958 and guess what a famous French actor named Alan Delong saw it and liked it so much that he invited Mr. Bronson to France, there he starred in another movie called Adu La Ami and it became a big hit all over Europe. Parallels of his personal life Before we take a look at the Revelation made by his daughter, let's talk about one of his memorable roles that was closely related to his real life in 1963 he played Flight Lieutenant Danny Tunnel King Valinsky in a movie called The Great Escape Dany was an expert at digging tunnels to free himself from prisoner of war camps, even though it made him feel claustrophobic, Bronson could relate to Dany because he had his own experiences with claustrophobia seen during World War II.

Bronson served in the military and also worked. In mind as a child, both experiences made him uncomfortable in confined spaces, his difficult married life despite his tough exterior, filming those tunnel scenes must have been quite a challenge for him, but he persevered and guess what else happened during the filming of Great Escape. Bronson fell madly in love with a lovely actress named Jill Ireland who was already married to David Mallum. Bronson even joked with McAllum about marrying his wife, but it turned out to be more than just a joke: he ended up marrying Ireland while all this excitement was going on.

Bronson's first marriage to Harriet was falling apart and they

finally

divorced in 1965 when Bronson linked the KN with Ireland in 1968, people already knew him well even though his film scripts were not always top notch, most of people agreed that Bronson always brought his aame to the screen, fans all over the world were crazy about Bronson, especially in Japan, France and Italy, they even had a nickname for him in Italy, IL Bruto, which means the ugly one. Ireland didn't mind one bit, he saw something special in Bronson, a mix. of tenderness and toughness that drew her to him like a magnet his name became synonymous with violence Bronson was not only tough on screen but also had a reputation off screen some people even said that his face told stories of hard times and violence when he was young he got into trouble threatening people and even breaking a sergeant's arm during a fight, once he even got into a fight with a director over a scene that left the poor guy breathless, so it's no surprise that When a tough guy like Michael Gordon Peterson, better known as Britain's Most Famous Prison Tough Man, needed a new name in 1987, he chose Charles Bronson.

That name carried a lot of weight at the time Esquire magazine quoted Bronson. saying that he would defeat anyone who dared to harm his family, which caused a huge scandal. Even Johnny Carson, the famous television host, couldn't help but ask Bronson about it. Bronson didn't mince words simply saying because that's what I said. Bronson wasn't exactly the press's best friend. His questions seemed too inquisitive for his liking. and film critics didn't like them very much either according to him they didn't even pay to see the films they criticized Roger eert a famous critic interviewed him once and noticed something intense in Bronson's eyes that hinted at a capacity for violence when it came to dealing with people who bothered him Bronson didn't hold back, he got into an altercation with Nicholas Gestner, the director of a movie they worked on, and Bronson didn't mince his words, openly criticizing Gestner, even joking about giving him a Shake's Good Wife Ireland knew of his fiery temper and laughed about it on a television show.

Violent incidents off screen. Bronson was not ashamed of his clashes with directors. He also didn't find most of them difficult to work with, citing what he called Hollywood nonsense. The reputation for losing his cool on set was no secret. Directors who crossed paths with Bronson often had funny stories to share about their encounters with tough actor Don Seagull, who directed Telep F, recounted a funny incident involving Lee Remik, who was afraid to touch Bronson's face in a scene because she thought he might bite her in the Walter Hills film Hard Times Bronson played a brave fighter during the Great Depression alongside his wife Ireland Hill recalled Bronson's impressive physical shape for his age, although his stamina was affected due to his smoking habit, there was some tension. over editing the Ireland scenes, but Hill and Bronson eventually reconciled showing Bronson's hot and cold temperament.

Shawn Penn, who directed Bronson in Indian Runner, discovered firsthand Bronson's preferences for his character. Bronson was reluctant to have his character die on screen for fear that he would disappoint his Italian character. Fans, including Billy Crystal, had an interesting encounter with Bronson when he sent her the City Slickers script. Bronson called him Furious because his character died in the script. He reminded Crystal that Charles Bronson doesn't die in movies that reference his famous Death Wish series. Wish Controversy Did you know about the controversy over his death wish movies? So, there's a director named Michael Winter who thought Charles Bronson was the perfect candidate for the main character, a guy who seeks revenge for his family's tragedy.

Bronson had this intense vibe that Winter thought was right. The role is perfect, the movie is about a man named Paul KY, who is a regular architect until something terrible happens to his family and then he becomes a vigilante wandering the streets with his trusty gun looking to settle scores with the bad guys and get this one of those. Boys is played by none other than a young Jeff Gold Blum, before Bronson took the role he was turned down by some big names like Clint Eastwood and even Frank Sinatra. Henry Fonda also said no, calling him downright repulsive, but when Bronson was asked, he was all in.

Bronson, in his usual tough guy style, supposedly said I'd like to do it and when Winter asked him if he was referring to the movie, Bronson's response was a classic, no. I would like to shoot the robbers. Now you might be wondering if Bronson was okay with the controversial topic. of the film, well, his agent Paul Coner surely didn't think so, so he warned Bronson about the risks out of fear that the film might send the wrong message about taking justice into his own hands, but Bronson was firm in his belief that the message of the film was about the dangers of Revenge, he believed that an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind and that was his motto.

Death Wish hit theaters on July 24, 1974. It cost $3 to make. $7 million, but it made a lot of cash: $22 million at the box office. office, can you imagine now? Death Wish was based on a 1972 book by a guy named Brian Garfield. He wasn't too thrilled with how they cast Charles Bronson as the main character. Kiry Garfield thought, "Oh, once you see Bronson, you know he's going to start shooting on the spot, but get this. Garfield originally wanted the movie to be directed by Cydney Lumet with Jack Lemon in the lead role. Can you imagine Jack Lemon as a vigilante?

Well, director Michael Winter wasn't very kind about Garf Field's book, he said, it only sold three copies and Garfield's mom probably bought them. Winter was pretty blunt in saying, come on, Garfield. , you thought you were writing a fairy tale? This is a story about a guy who goes around killing people, that's a little harsh, you know after the first movie Death Wish was a big hit, they just couldn't resist? do more. Charles Bronson played Cury not once, not twice, but five times. They continued making sequels in 1974, 1982, 1985, 1987, and finally in 1994, but the author of the original book, Brian Garfield, was very happy about it.

That, he thought they were just showcasing Bronson's acting skills, which he didn't think was that great, he even said the sequels were just vanity showcases for Bronson, now these movies didn't just fade into the background, they kept churning. The problems remember in 1984, when that guy with tough guts shot four young black men on a New York City train, they called himthe vigilante of the subway. Well, when Death Wish director Michael Witer was asked about it, he made a pretty embarrassing joke and said, "No, I don't approve of what the man did, but hey, if he has to shoot someone on the subway, why what not when we open?

It's not the most delicate thing to say, but wait, it gets even stranger in 201 15 Donald Trump, yes, the former president started talking about the death wish at one of his rallies, he boasted about. have a weapons permit and said that if anyone attacked him, he would shoot them and get this. The crowd started chanting Bronson's name. Trump even said they couldn't make a death wish today because it's not Politically correct, The movie about his life turned out to be disappointing after all those Death Wish movies. Bronson finally hung up his vigilante hat in 1994, but he still didn't retire.

He made a bunch of TV movies called Police Family, now the characters of. Bronson. They were always the strong, silent guys, weren't they tough guys who let their actions speak for themselves? And that wasn't just a coincidence. Bronson himself preferred to let his actions speak louder than his words, especially as he gained more influence in the industry he was in. He's not one to chat much, and believe it or not, he couldn't even stand to watch his own movies, but here's a twist: imagine being so famous that they make a movie about your life in 1990, when his beloved wife Jill Ireland passed away after struggle. cancer, his memoir was made into a movie: Jill Clayberg played Ireland and Lance Henriksson took on the role of Bronson, now you'd think most people would be moved by such a tribute, well, not Bronson, he was downright upset by that, he even talked about taking those filmmakers to court here.

Charles Bronson's on-screen toughness seemed to extend to his real life as well, the truth behind the crazy stories about him that he used to tell. stories about his past that make it seem like he was even violent off screen, he talks about fights and how good he was at throwing knives, but it turns out those stories weren't exactly true, it seems like he was just trying to seem more interesting . In reality, he never ended up behind bars and people who knew him off-screen said he was nothing like the violent characters he played in the movies. He was just adding a little spice to his own legend.

Now people still call him arrogant because of his habits, but there is an even more interesting story behind this in his life. Bronson had a curious habit of not shaking people's hands. Some thought he was too proud, but the real story is quite different. Bronson was actually afraid of getting sick, so he avoided handshakes. Stay away from germs, some people even think he might have had a little OCD, but that's just another assumption. Bronson had another fear that stayed with him all his days. Fire, it was a big problem for him, it influenced how he lived when he was filming. death wish back in '74 Bronson made sure they stayed in hotels with rooms no higher than the second floor, why was he determined to make sure that if there was a fire everyone could get out safely, isn't it funny that Bronson could have done it?

He played the tough guy in the movies, but deep down he had concerns like anyone else, in fact, he was more sensitive than many could imagine. He loved to paint and sculpt in his free time, you might not expect it, but he even preferred to talk about his paintings. about his performance in interviews and I understood this, he didn't want people to buy his art just because he was famous, so he painted under his real name, Binsky, to keep his identity a secret and guess what his painting sold well on its own merit . Now let us tell you a touching story about Bronson and a young Kurt Russell Russell was only 12 years old when he acted alongside Bronson in a movie when he found out it was Bronson's birthday he decided to surprise him with a remote controlled airplane but Bronson's reaction was not which Russell was expected to seem a little standoffish at first, but then something wonderful happened a few months later, on Russell's birthday, Bronson gave him a top of the line skateboard and when a security guard tried to stop Russell from using it on the studio lot, Bronson If he didn't want it, he walked straight up to the head of the studio with Russell at his side and declared that we were both going to skateboard all over the parking lot now.

Isn't that a touching example of kindness and friendship, a tragic loss and its resilience? a man who deeply felt and endured his fair share of hardships including the tragic loss of his beloved second wife, 8 years after losing her, he found love again with Kim Michelle Weeks, a younger actress, she was there for him until the final. Bronson had some health problems such as needing a new hip at one point, he eventually decided to retire from acting due to his health. He died in 2003 at age 81 due to respiratory problems and lung cancer. Charles Bronson actually had several children Zuleica Bronson Tony Bronson Suzanne Bronson and Katrina Holden Bronson, however now Katrina has confirmed that she was actually adopted and not a biological daughter, despite this she has been successful as a film director but What's even more interesting is how much money he had.

Bronson was smart about contracting him, so he ended it. Worth well around $75 million in today's money, he had all kinds of properties, from mansions to farms, and you know what's touching, among all that wealth, the most precious thing he left behind was a painting called Scoop Town, which was owned by Harriet. From his past that he held dear, Charles Bronson's story is a reminder that no matter how tough a person may seem, there is always room for love and humanity, so what legacy do you hope to leave behind and what treasures will define your journey?
