Did I hear someone say he was a bit of a paedo?
Don't say that without the facts mate. He made a big political speech aye but he was well loved for that.
 
From that link...

An Author named Kevin Brownwing wrote a book called The Golden Grope – A History of Hollywood Harassment in which he talked about how Chaplin would audition young actresses.

“Apparently he would only communicate with the actresses he was ‘auditioning’ via caption cards and mime, supposedly to test their ability to ‘perform’ in silent movies,” says Brownwing. “The cards would become ever more lewd and suggestive as he got them to undress, and he would fondle their breasts in an exaggerated silent movie acting manner, silently conveying his growing sexual arousal through grotesque facial mugging and crudely mimed gestures. Eventually, he would get them to stand, naked, at one end of the audition room and throw custard pies at them. Finally, he would lick the girls clean with his tongue before making love to them on an actual casting couch, whilst a pianist played appropriate background music. He would insist that they ‘perform’ entirely in mime and if they cried out (as they inevitably did), he would tell them that they had failed the audition!”

:lol:
 
Some comedian, that’s not funny at all.
I agree he isn't funny but he did well for what he was working with, was he before or after Laural & Hardy?
