A 27-Year Old Charlie Chaplin

History Daily

It’s difficult to picture Charlie Chaplin not in black and white, and lacking a bowler hat and mustache, but that’s exactly what this photo portrays. This picture of a fairly young 27-year old Chaplin was one before he became famous. Chaplin grew up poor with a down-on-her luck actress for a mother. He eventually found his way to America from London and became a huge success. When asked about his most epic role in the Tramp, which he shares came from memories of his own dad, he said “It was just released whole from somewhere deep within my father, it was really my father’s alter ego, the little boy who never grew up: ragged, cold, hungry, but still thumbing his nose at the world.”
