In 1984 on my honeymoon we ran into Charles Bronson and Jill Ireland on a train. I was a 24 year old USAF Sargent and Charles Bronson was in his early 60's and Jill Ireland was in her late 40's. We were in the bar car and I instantly recognized him and introduced myself. I mentioned I had a 73 Ford F-100 like he had in Mr Majestic and it was one of my favorite movies. I didn't mention that a 11 year old Ford truck was all I could afford on a Buck Sergeants pay. My wife and I ended up eating dinner with the Bronson's where Charles insisted on picking up the tab because he was Army Air corps and I was USAF. In her late 40's Jill Ireland was stunning. Charles was more like a blue collar good ole boy that was a bit of an introvert.

Kurt Russell told a story about him presenting Bronson a toy plane as a birthday gift on the set of a TV series in which they were working together when Russell was still a kid and Bronson a relatively unknown actor. As the tale goes, Bronson didn't know how to handle the situation, saying later that growing as a poor child he had never received a birthday gift before that day.

I had the pleasure of doing 4 films with Mr. BRONSON through the 80s ... He was good to me only after he found out that I grew up back East and played hockey... We did play cards together with people on set, we'd play catch and tossed around a football on occasion. He was a quiet, very proud figure to stand around with and I certainly knew of the creeps he did not like that were employed through Cannon films ! I was thrilled the first time I met Jill , she was absolutely dazzling in the California sun on set....and what a sweet, happy woman she was....it's when I saw Charlie smile for real when she would show up !

[@roberttownsend7397]

Charles Bronson was a man who didn't seem to want or need many close friends and his only two lifelong friends in the movie industry were English directors Michael Winner and J. Lee. Thompson. Bronson had complete trust in these two men and they in turn had enormous respect for him in return. Charles Bronson's apparent lack of interest in close friendships is evidence of his independence, his strength of personality and his lack of fear of having to 'go it alone' and face his problems himself. In other words this great actor was much the same on off-screen as he was on, and few other stars could make that claim. Also Bronson was known to be an exceptional family man and his children remember him as the kindest of dads.....

+ Robert Townsend What you state is essentially correct - Charles Bronson ( his Stage Name) did not need - validation from friends - or acquaintances. He was strong willed and had faith in himself - he had self-confidence and was assertive - (a characteristic resulting from his child-hood experiences) many people perceive those characteristics as arrogance egotism. Also the fact that he married Jill Ireland does not mean he 'Stole' her - No one forced her under threat - Nor was she kidnapped - It was her own decision to marry Bronson One must remember that Aristotle Onassis stated that he would marry the Presidents wife. -- And he did - marrying the wife of President John F.

Charles Bronson along with John Wayne, Clint Eastwood and many others were great 'Stars' rather than great actors and none of these men could take on roles that called for great acting talent and which differed too much from their own characters. England and Ireland seemed to produce more great actors than the U.S.with men like Peter O Toole, Richard Harris, Richard Burton, Robert Shaw and many others finding success on both stage and screen. Burt Lancaster was the only major American star the top European directors came looking for when the 'art movie' craze was at it's height during the 1960's and he proved beyond any doubt that he was a great actor and a great star.

I used to live in a SoCal area called Brentwood that had many celebs living in the area. One day I was coming home from school and decided to stop for a falafel at a local little shop; the place was empty in mid afternoon. I was eating by myself at a small table, facing the door. When someone walked in, I naturally glanced at whoever it was. Lo and behold, there stood Charles Bronson, by himself. He ordered, grabbed his food, looked around the empty place and chose to sit near me where we could see each other face to face. I was stunned and silent. He saw my backpack and asked me how school was. I stammered "ok" is all. He wolfed down his falafel, belched and told me to have a great day before walking out. Once again, all I could do was say "ok". Yep, not what I expected that day as a 15 year old kid. Maybe he was a jerk on set, but he treated me just fine

[@bobbyquisenberry9090]

You had a few facts wrong! Bronson left the coal mines to join the Army/Air force in WW2. David McCallum left Jill and married someone else and it was about a year after that before Bronson and Jill married. Garner held a grudge and downed Bronson because he didn't like Bronson. Other actors had a different story when it came to Bronson. I'd be skeptical of what Garner said! The dress thing was just a myth but he had to trade out to wear a pair of his brother's before going to school.

I was their personal assistant to them during a ceremony. I also volunteered for William Shatners Chairity horse show for 5 years where I met more stars that you can shake a stick at.

Bill Bixby, shortly before his death (*Bill didn't look very good*), was directing, while James Gardner was starring in it. At one point I was standing next to a slot machine, waiting for a que to walk around it. As chance would have it, Mr. Gardner was sitting at that same machine, playing it between takes. While playing, he attempted to strike up a good-natured conversation with me, concerning how the slots here wouldn't payoff. Soon after, an elderly couple approached him, telling Mr. Gardner what a fan they were of his, asking for his autograph. As he'd been to me, Mr. Gardner was just as king & gracious to this couple, being very extremely kind & humble with is time.

Bronson was a megastar even before the original "Death Wish," but he was more well-known in Europe, where he was colossal. Check out "Rider on the Rain" (1970) and "Farewell Friend" (1968), which he made with French megastar Alain Delon. Maybe the biggest thing about Bronson that most people don't realize, is that he may well be best actor-athlete ever. If you watch enough of his films, you will understand what I'm talking about. Steve McQueen was known for his athletic prowess, but Bronson had it over McQueen in spades. Watch Bronson in 1975's "Hard Times," in which he plays an aging bare-knuckles boxer who pounds much younger men into the sand. Bronson was mid-50s when he made that film, and when you see his body and watch his moves in the boxing ring, nothing is fake, he is totally believable as a character who can easily punch the daylights out of boxers half his age.

Also love "Hard Times" - one bit of interesting trivia on that was as good as he looked and performed in that film - he was a heavy cigarette smoker and he got winded pretty quickly - so they had to do many shorter duration takes of the fight scenes and piece them all together in the editing process to hide his lack of stamina.

Don't forget his artwork. He was (like most artists) very insecure regarding his creations. He was a talented painter and only displayed his work to family and some friends.

Bronson did have a big chip on his shoulder as he thought he should have become a much bigger star much sooner than he did - but that also may speak to the fact that so many great American actors came up in the late 60's - many of Bronson's co-stars in various 60's films - (some of whom were less big stars than great, recognizable character actors) - but also other big stars like Eastwood - Nicholson - Hackman - Hoffman - Redford - Pacino - DeNiro etc. -- and Bronson being seen mostly as an "action film" star - was limiting for him - as action films had yet to rise to the next level as Stallone - Schwarzenegger and others would later do for the genre in the 80's and 90's - my personal fav of Bronson's was "Hard Times" from 1975 - with Coburn again. That film probably showed his acting range better than anything else in his career.

Today, that would be considered assault in the workplace. Fact: As a child growing up, his family was so poor, he was forced to wear his sisters dresses to school.

Total badasses, from an age were young men were drafted into service like my father, Today, so called men, stay home, vote for war, become rich and send other men and even women to serve in war, writing country songs about patriotism, demanding low taxes. if that's riding? Ok. but check the back rounds of some of those iv mentioned. They had rougher lives then a tough day at the gym, and had real acting skills.

Charles Bronson was a very good actor. Sometimes you can't get along with everybody that's life. We all have someone that we don't like. I always loved his tough guy image and appreciated his movies.

I thought Bronson was offered the role of the "ugly" guy in "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly." The role went to Eli Wallach because Bronson had already signed up to make "The Dirty Dozen" which was going to film at the same time. Before that, Bronson was offered the Clint Eastwood role in "Fistful of Dollars" and then the Lee van Cleef role in "For a Few Dollars More." These early Leone scripts were "awful" according to Bronson, not realizing how huge these westerns were going to be. Subsequently, Eastwood turned down the role of Harmonica in "OUATITW." In any case, I have a great respect for all these classic action stars, most especially Bronson who went on to make some truly great films.

A good thing Eli Wallach got the part. His performance as Tuco made that film IMO. Branson simply didn't have that sort of ability. The film simply wouldn't have been the same.

[@maggiemae7539]

He did not turn down anything! They are told what to do and when to do it!

[@zlonxman]

@@bigbong620 Eli did a great job as Tuco, I agree. However, Bronson could also play the fall guy impressively when the role called for it. Check out Bronson in "Red Sun" if you get the chance. His acting in that film might be similar to what he would have done with the Tuco character. Just my opinion.

@@zlonxman Many thanks. I'll check it out.

I didn't think Bronson was a mean man. My father also spent 5 years in a coal mine under Stalin. Death rate was 75% My father was mean because of an extremely difficult upbringing, the worst I have ever heard of in my entire life !!! My father wanted the best for his family, my mom, and 2 siblings and myself. He just didn't know how to show it. He died an alcoholic worth nearly $5 million, all self made. I threw my share away deliberately. I'm retired now. I don't feel like making millions at all now; and never did. In the early 80s, I was advertising houses I was building, in the Arizona Republic. A guy called me on the phone, who sounded identical to Charles Bronson. When I asked him, he told me that he grew up in the same area as Charles Bronson, and that's why he sounded like him. I still think it may have been him.

I remember the people around Windsor Vermont didn't exactly hold him in their highest regards due to his ego and arrogance.

[@astralplane6182]

This is true. I went into a hardware store in that area, and they hated him, and how every time he came in, he would recount how he worked his way up from the coal mines.

[@teymourbayat8266]

@@astralplane6182 From everything I read about Bronson he wasn't the talkative type. I may be wrong but I can't picture him walking in a hardware store and going on telling his life story to strangers...

[@johnharris3362]

@@astralplane6182 one story I heard was how he had bought a few snowmobiles and him and his group had spent the night enjoying themselves on the sleds, however the next day none of them would start, well Mr Bronson went and chewed the dealer a new asshole of course they sent one of the guys to find out the problem. It didn't take long to find out that the problem was that they forgot to release the kill switch from the night before.the embarrassed celebrity went back and purchased a lot of accessories as a form of apology.

@@teymourbayat8266 I met Charlie when I was doing PR for Death Wish 2 in the summer of '81. He did come across as miserable. He hardly spoke to anyone and went off in a corner on his own to whittle on a stick. Crew members claimed he was thick. He was superb in the action scenes and he had a lovely superstar walk. I did one scene with him as an extra and he gave the impression he'd much rather be somewhere else.

He looked like Genghis Khan when he had a moustache
