Every fight scene gag in history comes from this guy. Look at him running the show from the first frame. What a genius.

[@HiSaimanSays]

The greatest entertainer of all time.

[@bhargavsarma]

Yo bro how are you.

[@naar1991]

Since I was a child, it always surprised me how different Charlie look out of the costume and the whole tramp make up (even more, finding out how attractive he actually was). Unbelievable. Thanks for sharing the footage at the beginning, never had seen it.

[@timc9372]

Natalia S how was he attractive?he wasn't tall dark handsome.you just like him for a very long time.that's it.

Same

[@kenscar]

Fascinating. It's so cool to see Chaplin out of costume just being a regular guy - even though he was anything but regular. And then the little schtick with Leonard - who didn't do bad at all performing with one of the greatest entertainers of all time!

[@fatimal.330]

Apparently Chaplin was very shy. You can't tell from all his video's. What a lovely sweet handsome man he was. Great entertainer. He faked shy very well. ❤

[@maggot0746]

Sydney like "ok, whatever he's gone" in the last part lol

[@Lava1964]

For those of you unfamiliar with Benny Leonard, he is ranked by many boxing historians as the greatest lightweight of all time. In his heyday, no other man his weight could match Leonard's ring skill. Many opponents literally could not lay a glove on him. He was that good.

[@snakey934Snakeybakey]

Indeed. Part of the reason he is so underrated is because he was boxing before most of it could be filmed.

[@Thilindel]

If they would quit trying to lay a glove on the man instead of hitting him with the glove while their fists are in it, that may help!

[@kerideggs9844]

Charlie was an avid boxing fan. He probably would've been an awesome lightweight boxer( being so quick/light on his feet)

[@bollywayne14]

Thanks again for this. I had a death in the family today. This is the only thing so far to make me smile. Thank you Charlie. And much love to who put this on KZbin. Such a great way to remember a man that STILL teaches us so much. X

[@lakshmirana6850]

Woww!! so handsome charlie....I love him..

[@lilchaos4792]

He is so athletic and talented. Perfect timing too.

[@jamesbobo]

This footage looks remarkably clean considering it's over 100 years old.

[@benziescha5438]

Heard him called the greatest lightweight of all time by a lot of legends, started as a street fighter, became an actor too. Can't beleive there's never been a movie made about him.

[@cassettedream]

Oh you are in for a surprise. Google "Chaplin" performed by Robert Downy Junior. 1990s

[@cassettedream]

I am a huge fan and would love to see a modern day version of it

[@marinajacksonbfomj3117]

Its soooo hard to see the Charlie Chaplin Character on him when he's out of his costume, danggggg he looks like a very old when he's into his character but when u get rid all of those makeup and moustache on him, he's hiding a very charming face

[@tatianaspannenburg9219]

I love you Charlie Chaplin

[@ChrisAshton-vt7tw]

Fantastic to see both as relatively young men in their prime, great film quality as well.

[@NelsonWin]

Chaplin is adorable both in movie and reality.

[@westfield90]

Such a great talent

[@esraamostafa6825]

Is it just me or does Charlie Chaplin look alot like eddie redmayne in this footage..!!

[@WhatIsAmericaToYou]

He does indeed.

[@gentrykoda]

OMG, I thought I was the only one who thought that!! LOL Yes, it's his smile that looks similar to Eddie's, imo. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@BruceWayne-mk9km]

Not even the great Marlon Brando could had done this extraordinary acting.

[@constantine7382]

And sadly, better than most of the fights we see today.

[@cliffedward]

I watched the movie "Chaplin" for the first time some weeks ago. Although I felt Robert Downey Jr did a fine job dresses as The Little Tramp I was not convinced when he was out of costume. Since then I have been wondering who would make a good Chaplin in a movie today. Then, while watching this, I was reminded of someone. Then I saw him. Eddie Redmayne. Given a little makeup he would be ideal. images.jdmagicbox.com/events/A776191/A776191_gal_20180122155226.jpg

[@AndreZar.]

Very good choice!

[@gentrykoda]

Wow! I thought I was the only one that thought he looked like Eddie Redmayne. His smile is very similar!

omg this is so spot on! Great find bro!

チャップリンも衣装、化粧をしないとコメディーの印象が違いますね。ジェントルマン、ベニーレナード、参謀、シドニーチャップリン、そしてメーキャップをしないチャーリーチャップリンコメディー、貴重映像。

I believe that he disliked haters.

[@mightymouse9929]

He died approximately 59 years after this was filmed. What would he have said to that? Too bad there are no recordings of his voice.

[@TheChaplinFilms]

but there are recordings of his voice : See his films The Great Dictator 1940 , Monsieur Verdoux 1947, Limelight 1952, and A King in New York , for example.

[@mightymouse9929]

I'm referring to recordings during his youth.

[@TheChaplinFilms]

ok sorry. Many of our page followers don't know much about Chaplin... !

[@mightymouse9929]

No problem. I'm a huge fan and one day God willing I will visit his Museum in Switzerland. I have read every book about him. I have even had several conversations with Dan kamin.

[@moeharvard]

Great Gents but unworthy cause

[@harrypot9000]

Ben should have smacked Charley for real. Charley hated Jews.

[@arbyfatbuckle1733]

"Charlie", spelled correctly, was not a Jew hater. He was anything but. He didn't make The Dictator for no reason. I searched for any evidence saying he was and never found any.

[@mightymouse9929]

harry pot that is not correct.

[@mollyr.goates8097]

I don't believe that. I heard that once Charlie was asked if he was a Jew, and his reply was "I do not have that privilege."

[@mollyr.goates8097]

His half brother was a Jew though

[@rondelayo]

You are a lying piece of shit

[@ralphadamo1857]

Benny Leonard was actually a great boxer in his day. But for this scene, it's evident that Charlie taught Benny how to choreograph the boxing comedy act. Charlie taught Benny well here.
