About Charlie Chaplin

Charlie Chaplin was born in 1889 in Walworth, London. He initially struggled in his career and had a hard time finding a footing for himself because of the abject poverty that he grew up in and the fact that his talent was not recognised by big cinema houses. However, his expression, perseverance and dedication earned him recognition. While some may consider his style to be slapstick, his work always carried a profound message.

In his career that spanned more than 75 years, he released more than 25 films, taking on versatile roles which made him an icon. Even today, decades after his death, he is considered the epitome of perfectionism and acting.
