I never knew this about Bronson “Very few people know what it is like to live down there underneath the surface of the world, in that total blackness." "The Great Escape" star Charles Bronson added that living on his knees and breathing in that dust, unable to shake it off, was terrible. Bronson spoke of being born with a number two shovel in his mouth instead of a spoon. He was a loner, and his poverty-stricken family lived in a town locals described as a hopeless place with no trees, drinking water, and sidewalks. The actor confessed he had to wear a dress to school sometimes because those were the only available hand-me-downs from his siblings, who were mostly girls. Full story and more photos in the comments.
