Isn't there a story of him, Michael Jackson and Elizabeth Taylor driving some absurd distance in a car and they had to stop at every KFC they saw along the way?

>go to zoo
>feed banana to monkey and call it homosexual
>instead of sucking the banana the monkey spits at your face
>go to a nearby water fountain
>fill mouth with water
>spit the water right in monkey's face

didnt jack nocholson give him burgers when he was supposed to be on his diet

There's a story where Nicholson was throwing burgers over the fence to his yard when he was supposed to be on a diet. Not sure if it's real though.

I think it was when he was supposed to be getting in shape for apocolypse now kek

>Brando enjoyed a bizarre friendship with Michael Jackson, after being hired by the pop star to give him acting lessons. The actor was in attendance at one of Jackson’s concerts on September 11th 2001 along with fellow guest of honour, Elizabeth Taylor. When the Twin Towers were struck, Jacko insisted that the stars flee New York for California as they could potentially be considered terrorist targets. Unbelievably, the only way they were able to do this was to take a car out of the city, which they drove themselves, without any PRs or publicists, managing to get as far as Ohio. Allegedly, Taylor and Jackson were annoyed at Brando’s constant requests to stop at every KFC and fast food joint they passed along the way. The wacko road trip is now being made into a movie, starring Brian Cox as Brando, Stockard Channing as Taylor and, um, Joseph Fiennes as Michael Jackson.

They started driving across the entire country from New York because 9/11 happened and grounded all planes indefinitely.

Holy shit, I want to see this.

>During filming on western ‘The Missouri Breaks’ in 1976, a point at which Brando had long given up on his ‘leading man’ physique, the increasingly rotund actor is said to have reached into a pond, grasped a frog, took a bite out of it and then threw it back in the water.

is this pasta?

Not a fsn of French cusine, I take it

>Brando was extremely competitive, and in 1968 he appeared at a private party celebrating Oscar nominations in which Paul Newman was in attendance with his wife Joanne Woodward. Brando approached Newman and began a conversation that eventually became very heated, resulting in Brando shouting and Newman walking away. Later that evening Brando stood on a table and challenged Newman to an egg eating contest, like the one Newman was depicted doing in Cool Hand Luke, however Newman ignored the challenge.

>Brando, undeterred, had somebody from his entourage bring him dozens of hard boiled eggs, and started the competition without Newman. While eating, he would loudly keep count as he consumed the eggs saying things like "21 Newman! 21 eggs already! I'm better than you Newman!", while mocking and insulting Newman the whole time, and calling him a "phony".

>Eventually, Brando consumed 51 eggs before being removed from the party, 1 more than Newman's character did in Cool Hand Luke. As he was being escorted out, he reportedly said "51 eggs Newman! I beat you! You couldn't eat 51 eggs because you're a phony, Newman. I'm better than you, and always will be Newman! Don't ever forget that!"

They're actually not. He was a pathetic fatty who died unhealthy and depressed. None of his kids liked him (literally one an hero'd) and he was a pain to people he worked with. If you any of you met him irl you would hate him and he would probably humiliate you

Based Brando holy fuck.

>"I don't mind that I'm fat. You still get the same money."

Gets me everytime.

He truly lived his best life.

kek, I heard that one. they were neighbours and shared a fence, supposedly Nicholson would secretly go whip bags of burgers over into his yard.

>A few days after Marlon Brando's death in July, at a gathering of his friends and some of his 10 surviving children, a fellow actor, Ed Begley Jr., stood up to speak.

>Clenching his jaw and mumbling his lines in the style of the man who practically defined acting in the last half-century, Mr. Begley recalled being summoned to Brando's home a few years ago to talk about an urgent project.

>Assuming that he wanted to collaborate on a film, Mr. Begley eagerly made his way to the Brando estate on Mulholland Drive here. The veteran actor revealed his idea: to acquire thousands of electric eels, from which he would harness energy to power the needs of his daily life.

>" 'We're going to run the house on the eels,' " Brando said, the pitch-perfect younger actor recalled. When Mr. Begley, slightly stunned, responded that he did not think it could be done, Mr. Brando murmured, " 'Everything's no with you.' "

>"I don't know if he was kidding," Mr. Begley said last week. "To the day he died he never let on."

BASED MARLON

>George Lucas: “When we first started filming Star Wars, I originally cast Brando in the role of Darth Vader. At first, he was absolutely brilliant, but then one day he takes me aside and says, ‘George, I’ve been doing some thinking about the Darth Vader character, and I believe that Darth Vader knows the Star Wars theme song and hums it to the Stormtroopers to lull them to sleep in a big bed that all the Stormtroopers sleep in.’

>“And I say to Brando, ‘No, that’s not true,’ but Brando refuses to budge on this, so we shoot multiple scenes with Brando marching around the Death Star in the Darth Vader costume belting the theme song at the top of his lungs, and we film over a dozen scenes where all the Stormtroopers get into a big bed on the Death Star and Darth Vader sings them to sleep by humming the theme song to them. Later, we had to cut all of his dialogue and replace it with James Earl Jones’ voice.

>“Looking back on it now, though, I know that Brando was right. Darth Vader definitely knows the Star Wars theme song. I should have listened to him.”

clickhole has some funny articles

This has to be horseshit. Would have heard of that trivia by now and it's well know that Scottish or English tallfag portrayed Vader physically and had Earl Jones do the voice.

Christ I wish I was rich so I could be this daft.

Sick quads.

He wanted Orson Welles for the voice but he was too recognizable. Hell, he was gonna give Mel Blanc C-3PO's voice, but Mel said Anthony Daniels has a good voice

Its such a shame he died before social media really took off, cause apparently, he would frequent chatrooms.

Imagine shitposting with Brando

Just for the record, the movie got canceled after a white man was casted to play MJ. Nogs protested on twitter and the whole thing went south.

>awe inspiring.
Or revealing of severe mental illness. I'm sure you'll find good shit if you inquire about his parents.

It's real, and it was more than just Jack. It was so his wife wouldn't know.

Enlighten us

>Brian Cox as Brando
OH MAN

Reading this in Lucas’ high pitched manbaby voice makes it even funnier

Stop giving me boners and I will.

My theory is getting confirmed:

>His mother, known as Dodie, was unconventional for her time; she smoked, wore pants and drove cars. An actress herself and a theatre administrator, she helped Henry Fonda begin his acting career. However, she was an alcoholic and often had to be brought home from Chicago bars by her husband.

>In his autobiography, Songs My Mother Taught Me, Brando expressed sadness when writing about his mother: "The anguish that her drinking produced was that she preferred getting drunk to caring for us."[15] Dodie and Brando's father eventually joined Alcoholics Anonymous.[16] Brando harbored far more enmity for his father, stating, "I was his namesake, but nothing I did ever pleased or even interested him. He enjoyed telling me I couldn't do anything right. He had a habit of telling me I would never amount to anything."

And now you understand why he ate how he did: he saught comfort and love through food.

It's funny reading how Christopher Reeve badmouthed Brando after Superman for just that reason but it's what made him so great. He played Jor-El by reading his lines off cue cards and still turned in a kino performance like it was nothing.

>In the 2007 TCM biopic, Brando: The Documentary, childhood friend George Englund recalls Brando's earliest acting as imitating the cows and horses on the family farm as a way to distract his mother from drinking.

> Brando had been held back a year in school and was later expelled from Libertyville High School for riding his motorcycle through the corridors.
I have no words.

>"Everything's no with you"
hahaha what a fucking legend

Why do people give so much of a fuck about people who would never see their movie? Especially on twitter?

Best one I’ve heard is him and Richard pyor being fuck buddies.

>inb4 posting Marlon sucking black cock
The absolute mad man.

They’re such an unlikely couple that I can imagine it being true, as much as I don’t want the mental image of those two fucking

The shit from The Island of Dr. Moreau is all gold.
>When Richard Stanley met Marlon Brando, New Line insisted on sending a female executive to document it. At his house, Brando increasingly turned on the air conditioning until she fell asleep. Afterwards, he and Stanley proceeded to discuss the film.
>Marco Hofschneider's part was originally much bigger. His role was cut down because Val Kilmer didn't want to be upstaged by him. Then Marlon Brando became obsessed with Nelson de la Rosa, the world's smallest man, and insisted the script be revised. Some of Hofschneider's scenes were given to De La Rosa.
>It was Marlon Brando's idea for Doctor Moreau to wear an ice-bucket on his head in one scene. He came up with the idea out of boredom and because of the heat. Everyone was too afraid to ask him to remove it
>At one point, a day's filming was cancelled when Marlon Brando and Val Kilmer refused to come out of their trailers until the other did.

i feel so fucking bad for richard stanley, but the stories are so hilarious.

>Vocal demo done, Hollywood quickly made Brando an offer he was all too happy to refuse. He turned down the role of Nicholas Dunderdeck, the portly, villainous owner of a sweet factory in the animated movie Big Bug Man. The film was about a factory worker (voiced by a then shit hot Brendan Fraser) who gets bitten by a bug and gains superhero powers. Brando wanted to play the smaller, comedic role of the factory's elderly co-owner Mrs Sour, crossing off playing a woman on his acting bucket list in the process. "Paul called again and said, 'How would you like to get back into the Brando business?'" recalls Tobias of the studio's offer to be voice director. "I didn't hesitate in saying yes."

>The first day of recording quickly arrived. "I had a feeling he might go full method but everybody thought I was crazy for thinking that. Sure enough, I opened the door and there Marlon was dressed as a woman in a screaming blonde wig and a dress. He was posing and wanted to be admired. He effeminately put out his hand, which had on a red glove with a jewel on it, and I took it. I said, 'Why, Mrs Sour, you're so fetching today!' and it was an old lady's voice that answered me."

Unbelievable.

underrated

>Big Bug Man
based and pozzpilled

>'Why, Mrs Sour, you're so fetching today!'
10/10 reaction

>In the fifties and sixties, Brando was the quintessential American sex symbol bedding Marilyn Monroe, Marlene Dietrich, Grace Kelly, Jackie Kennedy and hundreds more in the swinging sixties and at Hollywood key parties. But he was also selective and turned down Elizabeth Taylor because ‘her ass was too small’ and Sophia Loren because her breath was ‘worse than that of a dinosaur’.
