Kurt Russell Reveals Gift He Gave Charles Bronson

Knowing Bronson's history and personality, that is a very touching story. I would imagine that it was probably quite difficult for him to express his appreciation to a young kid, but he clearly was moved by the simple gesture. He was a principled man.

This story really moved me. I heard that Charles Bronson had a very poor upbringing, so when he said that he never got a birthday gift before, it think it was coming from a very real memory. Kurt Russell is a really nice man.

[lukewarmwater]

I always thought bronson was cool. now I am sure of it.

This story also speaks so well of Kurt Russell's upbringing. His parents raised a respectful, thoughtful son who never forgot how to be- even after he became a huge name in Hollywood. Always had a lot of respect for Kurt Russell....

Charles Bronson is one of my movie heroes from when I was a kid, Kurt Russel too.

That story warmed my heart.

Charles Bronson grew up very poor and a son of mineworkers from Lithuania. He ended upin the mines at 10 years old! My father was also raised poor from a single Mom and a older brother and sister. When I was dating my wife, she baked a cake for my Dad for his 50th birthday. Pop said, "No one has ever baked a cake for me for my birthday." Pop ate that cake in a span of three months (put it in the freezer). I miss you Pop.

Charles those coal mines gave him one of the great natural physiques in Hollywood. A true tough guy. RIP sir.

They interviewed Chris Pratt and asked him what it was like working with Kurt Russell. He said when he came on-set everyone was in awe. He seems to be just a good person. Stable relationship for many many years, good kids, good father. I don't ever remember anything negative about him in the papers even though he grew up in hollywood. I'm glad to see is career has lasted this long and he continues to do good work. I always enjoy everything he's in.

Only Kurt Russell would have a skateboarding story with Charles Bronson.

[reggierico]

Charles Bronson, the man that all men should aspire to be! He was masculine, tough, thoughtful, charismatic, polite, fair and a very kind man. Really wish we had more Charlie Bronsons around!

Loved Charles Bronson.
My favorite actor of all time !
What a great story about him and Kurt Russell !

[russellpost]

Charles Bronson was an amazing human being and this story just cements it!

[BladeRunner-tdbe]

Charles Bronson and Kurt Russell, two of my favorite actors. Their acting was superb and I never doubted they were actually bad-asses on and off the set. And I love this story Kurt shared. A random act of kindness by Kurt Russell created an almost instant, and unlikely, friendship between a boy and what seems like a surly, isolated man. Truly inspiring. Cheers

The hardest men, usually have the softest hearts.

[adriangarza]

Great story and Kurt is great actor, Charles Bronson was one of the best RIP

[chrisbrimhall]

Kurt Russell has had an unbelievable life and he is still humble and cool

[chrisgreulich]

I'm a huge Charles Bronson fan and I love Kurt Russell. I loved him most when he was a kid actor and doing all those Disney films. Really nice story he told about Chuck. I really think a lot of people misunderstood Charles Bronson. I think he was just a guy that kept to himself. I'm always drawn to actors like that.

[EastCoastFishnHunt]

Bronson was my favorite actor!! he was a war hero and a loving family man!! He was cool in the best ways!! hard to believe he's been gone for 20 years now

[beyondbeleef]

Heartbreaking that Bronson never had anybody care that much but heartwarming that even tho he was treated that way he was so nice to Kurt. I respect him even more

[aikishugyo]

The more I hear about Charles Bronson, the more I respect him. Thanks for sharing that, Kurt Russell.
