...mmm and Yet when Kurt told the story about giving Charles a gift to Jimmy Kimmel ... He said he thought that he gave him a radio controlled airplane ... So how do you actually know that for fact ?
It wasn't that they minded him skating. They just thought it would take away from the time producers, directors, and agents would have to prey upon him. (Had to reword that for the overlords).
Bronson and Russell. Why am I not surprised that two of the coolest guys in history are buds. Bronson was amazing in The White Buffalo and so many others.
Nothing about this story surprises me.Bronson was one of the Greatest Generation and everything about him shows this from his character to his toughness to his work ethic and his service during World War 2.All of these qualities that he possessed are sorely lacking in many people today.
Thank you for this spot on comment. More & more are beginning to see this Truth. Let's hope we reverse the direction that society has been going and get back to sanity.
@@wisenheimer9997 The generation that fought during WW2...is well known to be called, "The Greatest Generation. So not even sure why you made that comment.
Do y'all mean the ones that were hanging around dancing the Lindy while 6 million people were being slaughtered in Europe? THAT generation?@@BrotherPatriot
That's...interesting and strange. RIP, Bronson...you were one of the "tough guys" of my youth and what helped give me the stuff to become a specwar veteran. HOO-YAH & God Bless ALL the ol' "tough guys" who have passed on since my youth.
Wow. This just shows how genuine some people can be to one another. A very touching powerful story. RIP Charles Bronson. A great man who made a great friend in Kurt Russell
The point you ALL should take is that ASSUMING that we all have the same is foolish. You have NO CLUE what another human has endured or what rhey are currently going through.
There will never be another actor like Charles Bronson or Kurt Russell. I grew up watching both. It's hard to portray macho man toughness when your physical stature is the size of Charles Bronson but he managed to pull it off with ease. His body was hard as steel and his face looked like tanned leather.
Bronson also served in WW2 with the Army Air Corps as a gunner flying 25 combat missions and receiving the Purple Heart as he was also wounded in action...
I lived at Charles Bronson live to as a kid. And Northern California back in the late fifties I grew up with this man that was my grandfather that I had never met I got sent to live there. This man had eight of his own kids but he really didn't raise their he had his own ways he didn't believe in anything I grew up with him Christmas birthdays meant nothing to him.😢. Russell I was there when you were filming overboard. We were working in Mendocino and Casper but was dating Fort Bragg in the motel where you cruise at. Charles Bronson was one badass actor.🙏🏽😎🌲🌲🌲✌🏽
They show a tiny little clip (not of Bronson) from a movie he did "Chato's Land" That movie is one of the best "somebody done somebody wrong" movies and Bronson is the star but it has an absolutely stellar supporting cast, all of the supporting cast were leading men in their own right. It really is worth watching.
Always enjoy Charles Bronson movie. He and John Wayne and Clint Eastwood taught me how to be a stoic man. People leave me alone and respect me. It helps being 6' 4".
as well- when Bronson passed, he had made arrangements for the remote controlled airplane, which he still had, to be sent to Russell... (or so I've heard)
If you want to see the real Charlie, with his wife Jill Ireland on the dick Cavett show and it was quite endearing on how very close Charlie and Jill, where?
Kurt tells a heartwarming story and mid sentence Kimmel cuts him off to add a crappy quirky comment like he is in some marvel movie as per usual. Kurt Russel and Charles Bronson are legends.
Kirk Russell actually has an amazing decades long career as an actor. Some people seem to hate Kirk Russell's guts for his portrayal of "Pliss Snakeskin" in the film "Excape from New York". My top two Kirk Russell films are - Number 1: "Tombstone" Number 2: "Backdraft".
I read his family was so poor he had to go to school in some of his sister’s hand-me-down dresses. He was picked on, and learned to fight because of it.
See bronson interview with dick cavett. He talks about his hard childhood. Bronson was also a ww2 vet,50 cal gunner on a mission over Japan, severly wounded. Like most of those brave men,be never talked about his wartime experiences, only saying he served in the war.
Please get your voice over audio to be as loud or only a little louder than the film excerpts, because I'm having to immediately lower the volume due to your voice over being way too loud.
Kurt Russell just one of the coolest guys on earth. It just proves that a little kindness goes a long way.
i'm glad CHARLIE AND KURT HIT IT OFF,FRIENDS ARE GOLD,you never know what a person goes through or gone through
The "rest of the story" is, when Bronson died, he still had the model gas powered airplane Kurt Russell had given him displayed in his home.
Thanks for your valuable input ...that was sarcasm btw
@@getsbucketsThanks for winning the jerk of the thread award...that was not sarcasm btw
I read that he sent it back to Russell when he knew he was dying.
@@blachloch1yes he did a few days before he passed away
...mmm and Yet when Kurt told the story about giving Charles a gift to Jimmy Kimmel ... He said he thought that he gave him a radio controlled airplane ... So how do you actually know that for fact ?
Remember people be kind, you don’t know what people are going through, a little kindness can make someone’s day or even change their lives, god bless!
The rest of the skateboard story is that the studio would not let Kurt skate on the lot. So Bronson started skating with him and they shut up.
It wasn't that they minded him skating. They just thought it would take away from the time producers, directors, and agents would have to prey upon him. (Had to reword that for the overlords).
@@steveconkey7362Piss off , Nazi .
@@steveconkey7362 And why did you have to bring politics into this. ?
Very much respect to Kurt Russell and Charles Bronson, what a legends
Bronson and Russell. Why am I not surprised that two of the coolest guys in history are buds. Bronson was amazing in The White Buffalo and so many others.
Massive respect for both actors who had very different lives but still became friends.
Russell is Literally a walking timecapsule of Hollywood

@@wisenheimer9997Perhaps you should go live in Russia or China then,We don't need or want idiots like you in America.
Kurt always seems like a great person.
Really relatable.
Bronson a man of Steel
Bronson is one of my favorite actors. My son was born on Bronson's birthday - 11/3. And my daughter's birthday is on his date of death - 8/30.
That's...interesting and strange.
RIP, Bronson...you were one of the "tough guys" of my youth and what helped give me the stuff to become a specwar veteran.
HOO-YAH & God Bless ALL the ol' "tough guys" who have passed on since my youth.
There's a level of grit that can't be recreated by acting. It's innate. Charles Bronson was one of those guys.
Mickey rourke had it too I think
Bronson was one of a kind.
Wow. This just shows how genuine some people can be to one another.
A very touching powerful story.
RIP Charles Bronson. A great man who made a great friend in Kurt Russell
What an incredibly down to earth humbling story. Proving how greatness shows itself in many ways.
Charles you were a good and onest talented actor and a good man and you will truly always missed by many 💐♥️xx
The point you ALL should take is that ASSUMING that we all have the same is foolish. You have NO CLUE what another human has endured or what rhey are currently going through.
Absolutely!!
Two Great Actors and Human Beings 🙏

Two of the Greats, love them in everything they did.
Bronson also served in WW2 with the Army Air Corps as a gunner flying 25 combat missions and receiving the Purple Heart as he was also wounded in action...
2 of the greatest actors ever!!!
Greatest story !!! I've always loved Charles Bronson, his kindness does not surprise me, I love him ***
You forgot to mention Mr. Bronson aka Buchinsky was a decorated war vet ,received purple for his service in WW2. Man was a war hero.
He was so good in The Great Escape!
Chuck is missed. His movies were great. A one of a kind. Rip Sir. 🙏👍
Another sad story is Bronson said he never ate 3 meals in one day until he joined the military to serve in WWII.
Oh man, so sad.
He had to wear his sister's dress to school because they couldn't afford clothes for him.
I eat two meals a day and I’m fit as a fiddle and a horse
@@justinschexnayder8485 i think he means not having much food around.
@@te9591 not possible. White people can't be poor.
Only poc
What one gives in kindness is so special. Bronson was tough because he grew up tough. There was and always will be a certain kindness about him.
I lived at Charles Bronson live to as a kid. And Northern California back in the late fifties I grew up with this man that was my grandfather that I had never met I got sent to live there.

Beautiful story but shortly before Charles Bronson passed away Kurt Russell got the air plane returned to him Bronson wanted him to have it ❤
Charles Bronson is from the Greatest Generation in American history, he is Iconic in every way!!!
They show a tiny little clip (not of Bronson) from a movie he did "Chato's Land" That movie is one of the best "somebody done somebody wrong" movies and Bronson is the star but it has an absolutely stellar supporting cast, all of the supporting cast were leading men in their own right.

I caught that. I'm not sure but I think that was Ralph Waite in the clip.
@@DavidMoore_Golden
I skied with him one day on Mammoth Mtn. Way back in the 80's. He was very cool. We had a great day.
Great story. Thanks for doing that Kurt.
Always enjoy Charles Bronson movie. He and John Wayne and Clint Eastwood taught me how to be a stoic man. People leave me alone and respect me. It helps being 6' 4".
Your life would be so different if you had spent your Saturday afternoons watching Don Knotts movies.
What a great man ❤ R.I.P
I grew up not far from Bronson. It was well known, that there were times when he had to wear one of his sister's dresses to school. No lie.
Both great actors
as well- when Bronson passed, he had made arrangements for the remote controlled airplane, which he still had, to be sent to Russell... (or so I've heard)
If you want to see the real Charlie, with his wife Jill Ireland on the dick Cavett show and it was quite endearing on how very close Charlie and Jill, where?
They were together til she died of cancer .
What they failed to mention is when Bronson knew he was dying sent the plane back to Russel.
Beautiful
"Have you paid your dues jack?"
"Yes sir the check is in the mail."
My favorite Bronson movie
The Generation of Cool.
Kurt tells a heartwarming story and mid sentence Kimmel cuts him off to add a crappy quirky comment like he is in some marvel movie as per usual. Kurt Russel and Charles Bronson are legends.
Bronson and Russel are real people. Not fake like most people today.
Kirk Russell actually has an amazing decades long career as an actor. Some people seem to hate Kirk Russell's guts for his portrayal of "Pliss Snakeskin" in the film "Excape from New York". My top two Kirk Russell films are - Number 1: "Tombstone" Number 2: "Backdraft".
Kurt
For me it is "Escape from New York" and "The Thing" and for Charles it is "the great Escape and "Breakheart Pass".
A man among men
A very touching story
Too bad the two of them didn't do more projects together. Both great actors.
amazing icons...America !
I didn't know that it is a good story way to go kurt kindness can go a long way sometimes even the little things.
I read his family was so poor he had to go to school in some of his sister’s hand-me-down dresses. He was picked on, and learned to fight because of it.
Jesus. That’s rough. You really see why movies with plots composed solely of “kill all the things” would appeal to a guy like that.
I’m pretty sure that the short clip of the man carrying the rifle near the end was Ralph Waite, not Bronson.
Correct
could almost pass for father and son.
Russell begins at 00:38 seconds. (We don’t need your summary of the story before the story).
Could you imagine Charles Bronson in the Marvel universe?
See bronson interview with dick cavett. He talks about his hard childhood. Bronson was also a ww2 vet,50 cal gunner on a mission over Japan, severly wounded. Like most of those brave men,be never talked about his wartime experiences, only saying he served in the war.
Charles Bronson was not an actor. That was him. He would not hesitate to send you to Jesus - or the other fellow.
Pretty sure Bronson was a combat veteran from ww2, tail gunner?
Why do I have the image of Charles Bronson doing a "Ollie' in my head.?
You're gonna give back what you stole from me too
I don't get what the audience and Kimmel found so funny about the story.
Dude, check your relative volume levels before uploading. One part of your video is barely audible while your narration is screamingly loud.
🙏♥️♥️♥️
Charles found the little JUNGLE BOY on a deserted ISLAND with 7 nutty castaways and rescued HIM ??
at 2:35 that looks like ralph waite, not charles bronson
I can't believe "the view"😅 nightmare was on Kimmel.
Why do you explain the video to us then proceed to show it?
Russell is a kool mofo.
it's sad to you entitled privileged Kimmel because you don't know what growing up in hardship life situations really means to people like Charles
AI sucks
Please get your voice over audio to be as loud or only a little louder than the film excerpts, because I'm having to immediately lower the volume due to your voice over being way too loud.
I love Lord Russell and Bronson! 🤘
