What made Marlon Brando so charismatic was the fact that he was so true to himself. An authentic person who didn't care to fit in and live by the norms of society. I believe that this made him a loner at heart.. especially when we consider the industry he was working for. It takes guts to be like that,..to stand alone and not give a crap.
True to himself u say?norms of society is for our own protection Haider what would happened if we didn’t live by the norms of gravity? We all would be floating up in the air most laws of society is to protect all of us from hurting ourselves and others he didn’t even lived by the norm’s of his own body because he died with a massive heart attack from obesity how true was him to himself lol 😂
When I was very young, in the 80’s, our neighbour was a gay drag queen called Freddie. We all loved Freddie, he was lovely. One day he was upset as his family had sort of disowned him for being gay. My grandad was sitting with him and said “do you think being gay is new, Freddie?” And Freddie just shrugged. My grandad put his hand on Freddie’s shoulder and said “Freddie, gay has been around as long as men have been around, do you understand? You’re not different from millions before you, you’re just brave enough to live without secrets” 💜
Lol y do women love gay men. Just because its been around doesn't mean its correct for society. It doesn't produce any kids and civilisation doesn't function by being gay but that's y the western world has collapsed because lgbt people have taken over. And I find that women like u support and reinforce this.
He was definitely addicted to sex. It’s a little sad. But the fact that he was open about being Bi at a time when it was not accepted is was pretty revolutionary and what a legendary actor.
@@luismaldonado4989 "the fact that he was open about being BI at a time when it was not accepted was revolutionary" I didn't say anything about proud to be debaucherous. unless you think just being bisexual is debauchery. in which case that is very homophobic.
@@luismaldonado4989 the fact that he had 15(!) different children with different women, is more of an indication of debauchery, than him being bisexual, that should upset you more, also a majority of actors in Hollywood are gay or bisexual, many still aren't open about it
@@luismaldonado4989 So you feel it’s wrong to be “bisexual” although scientist have confirmed sexuality is complex & it’s natural to have attractions to the same s. ? Could it be perhaps you have a problem with a open bisexual man us because U are suppressing your own sexual desires .Men like you are coward & pathetic
Rubbish nasty no wonder he never got A.I.D.S don’t big up and use a guy who sleeps around passing god knows what diseases around you think being promiscuous is something to be praised and congratulated for nothing to be proud of or boast of dirty nasty and shows the person has NO SELF RESPECT shows reckless behaviour and lack or morals and descency says what type person you are you think that’s something to be appalled you and people like you and Brando are what’s wrong with this world nasty plain and simple
What makes you think he was honest? Because it was shocking? Some people he named have denied it, so are they lying because you want to believe salacious crap?
Brando was a good looking guy (by almost anyone's standards), and a great actor. Doesn't mean everything else about his life was great, or admirable. Fame is fleeting and, in the end, means NOTHING.
@@muhammadaadilali5638 No doubt you are correct. But he is not someone I would want my 'loved ones' to emulate. His life was chaos. Chaos leads to more chaos! I really like Brando---as an actor. I own three of his videos. Personally, he was a forceful personality. 'A force of nature', as it were. But it is difficult to find where truth found peace in his life. Layer upon layer.
@@sjjcwsYou are right , most actors are great, on screen , but in reality their lives are not meant to be followed as a good moral example, and for me, I do love the music , the acting , the movies, but that's the borderline , we never cross it, ever
@@mnight207 You seem to be addicted to judging humans from only one aspect of their personality. (See also the comment by "scrums" a little while ago).
His Father and Mother were alcoholics. Addiction is genetic. Brando's addiction was obviously sex and food as his later obesity spoke to an eating disorder. He seemed to me to be borderline personality. They will involve themselves in all kinds of risky behavior. He was a brilliant actor and beautiful man. I think he knew what emotional and mental pain was and understood it in other people as well, That is why he could connect with his characters on a deep level. He understood human weakness, anger, sensuality, loneliness and also love and tenderness. He was a complex human being.
@@aliassmithandjones08 A straight up sicko if he liked men so much he should have been sent to prison.I bet he would never go near another man again!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, huge respect to a sex addict who betrays his friends by sleeping with their wives and strings women (and men) along with no intent of anything deeper. But the important thing is that he was true to himself ... and no one else, apparently.
His genius was (I think) he was able to tap into his flaws as all humans have and use and channel them into his roles. And I really admire that he was confident in himself to not have to hide his true sexuality - he just had other conflicts and demons to deal with.
I don't think he had any genius. He had a great talent, never understood it, but let it happen. Some of his movies were great, many were not. The later ones, not the Godfather, but the others, were terrific.
Brando, despite his demons, lived his life fully at a time when most people lived small and fearfully. It was no little thing to demonstrate for civil rights back then and, even today, folks are just now and still with great trepidation expressing their sexual preferences. He was a larger than life guy who lent his fame to help others. No doubt, he had issues in his family life, but he never abandoned his children. People often recall his role in The Godfather and Streetcar Named Desire, but I also recall his role in The Young Lions. A star of his stature playing a Nazi officer!! It was an unusual and insightful film for its time and underappreciated because of this. Anyhow, he made room in the fabric of a grey society for others to follow.
@@pastelskies8466 Agreed. But infidelity is a personal matter between two lovers. I am sure that the lovers that Brando had at the time were aware that he was not one for monogamy. It was their choice to try. And, my dear, there are some lovers worth that gamble, no matter the repercussions. Of course, many are not. There has never been any indication that he was violent towards his lovers. That would impact my feelings towards him. However, I really don't believe in judging a person's whole life based solely his or her ability to be faithful. Monogamy us not for everyone. I was not addressing his personal life. I was addressing his public activities as related to the social ethos of his time. He took a stand. When many would not. He went his own way. He supported civil rights for African Americans and Indians. He was generous in his support. And, he accepted the responsibility of fatherhood. Perhaps he wasn't good at it. Mine wasn't. But he was there. It's naive to expect people of fame or leaders of any ilk to live flawless lives. He wasn't a hypocrite. By all accounts he was extremely frank. He wasn't a priest. He was an actor. I always liked him. His style. His acting. The way he moved. And his politics.
@@crystalsherman8896 Yes but unfortunately when you reach that point as an adult where we can make our own choices to change, our choices and decisions come from an already traumatized and screwed up mind
I dont think it suits these famous stars very well, that their private life was so unhealthy to mind and body. Nobody can deny that he was handsome and spite his eye for men as well, women adored him to the core. I dont think he was kind, but obvius he had what it took to take several actors down during his lifetime, and that dont matter for some, but I would never in a million years accept a boyfriend or husbond, living like that, people can live as they please I dont judge them, but I am not that tolerant.
just because someone is out there saying that Brando was bi does not mean he was!!!! you cant believe most of what is put on social media, they are just trying to get your attention (sad they sink so low to do it)
@Let's Talk Respectfully disagree. The men and the women dressed so much classier compared to today. They weren't perfect people but they at least had an air of class to them. Nowadays our actors aren't perfect and they don't even try to pretend to be. 😓
@@paigealexander5601 it's the "THEY" OR THEY Committee that i question, just because someone said it causing rumors to spread like wildfire does not mean it is actual truth (the man is dead and cannot respond) have you ever been really hurt and angry because of what some folks have said ? Use the brain God gave you and don't be so quick to follow what others lead.
The fact that people seem to focus on one's sexuality (which is one of the smallest things about a person) says a lot about the petty nature of our society
It is a very large part of a person’s life for many reasons....one of them being the number of people trying to silence or criticize it whenever the topic is brought up. Until everyone gets over their petty need to stop talking about sexuality, we need to keep talking about it.
What universe you living in where sexuality is a small part of ones identity? Hey I have no opinion one way or another on Brando except for Godfather movies but I disagree sexuality is one of the smallest parts of humans. It’s one of THE LARGEST PARTS OF A HUMAN. Lol
Brando was a great actor and very handsome man in his youth, very troubled from a small child until his death - he was a humanitarian for the underdog, but very damaged in his own life - I love his acting and may he RIP -
i think brando and wally cox met in grade school. as most everyone probably knows, people you become friends with in grade school and stay friends with through all of your developmental changes are pretty irreplaceable. so, that's probably why Brando felt that way about him. Very human.
The difference between Brando & many men throughout the ages was that he was honest about his bisexuality. That veil was lifted more frequently from the 1950s onwards, reaching a casual openness from the mid 1960s onwards. However, many insecure males still grabbed onto the safety clause of 'Don't ask, Don't tell', which resulted in neuroses and even worse 'side afflictions'. I guess only those who are totally secure within themselves are relaxed enough to discuss their experiences in same sex relationships. Not that the demand to do so, is important, it does help the insecurity to diminish.
@cornelius washington Yes..when he was young, he looked better..but the age and life itself showed their effects very fast at this gentlemen unfortunatelly.
William Thompson People get attracted to all sorts because that what chemistry is all about. Of course being physically attractive means one has more admirers, women and men. But just because someone is a good-looking man who is fancied by gay men does not mean the, in this case Brando, has to respond and get involved. Looks have nothing to do with acting out the same-sex thing. One does it because one is genuinely attracted to it. However it sounds like Brando was so over-sexed that he used it as emotional currency. And of course it's interesting that he became a great actor because of his life growing up. AND NOT IN SPITE OF A DIFFICULT CHILDHOOD.
One of the reasons why Brando is the greatest actor of al-time because, most of the actors who we know such as De Niro, Al Pacino or Johnny Depp are Marlon Brando's products. So, in a certain way he raised all of them.
15 children - some of whom were terribly messed-up themselves. Given his own childhood and his parents, he probably couldn't have been a good father even if he'd tried, which I doubt he really did.
His heart was in the right place... And like many of us, he became a great survivor to all of the trauma he lived as a young adolescent. He was beautiful and women and men loved him💞
Let's talk about how he used his status to champion other more important causes--for one, the image of Native Americans portrayed on the screen for instance.
And like most social justice warriors he was a prick in his personal relationships. He toyed with people's emotions-asking someone to marry him when he had no intention of following through- promising fidelity and continually breaking lover's hearts. It's easy to grand stand and play the noble hero with all of Hollywood watching and applauding. It's much harder to simply be a decent person who treats everyone they meet with respect.
Definitely one of the best actors ever. Amazing how self confident he seemed with himself (after his childhood trauma), which is why he had a great career and was comfortable in his own skin.
I don't get Brando's acting style being described as "macho." Brando's style was androgynous, both on and off the screen. John Wayne and Clark Gable epitomized a macho acting style. Brando's screen essence was their polar opposite.
@@lemorab1 I A B S O L U T E L Y agree! Brando could PLAY macho, but he could also play soft and tender and sweet. He was truly a great … and there aren’t too many of those !
Incredible story. It’s ironic, I too was called Brando in 6th grade by my favorite teacher of all of my time. I truly didn’t appreciate his presence in the big screen. However, because of his tough childhood and his later clinical and medical diagnosis, we do have something in common. I respect his open honesty of his inner life. Hopefully, his children get a better outlook in their lives, despite of some previous tragedies that have already occurred in theirs. Blessings to his remaining children.
I would say he was an addictive personality that never got to his core issues. The weight gain at the end of his life could show this....food became the new fix.
So true! He lived hard and had a colourful life and clearly was a sex addict amongst other highs but in his older years this must have been replaced with a food fix
He was a legendary actor and I don’t care what (or who) he did in his private life, but sleeping with the wives of his friends is a pretty sleazy thing to do no matter who you are.
If Marlon Brando was a 30-40yr old actor in Hollywood today, he would be considered an A list actor and the sexiest man alive. I also believe he would be open about his sexuality. He would be as vocal as Robert De Niro when it comes to politics and on the front line of Civil Rights and the Alaskan Pipe Line protests as well as protecting Native lands. I'm saying Brando back then and would be the same today.
He was addicted to sex!! He would've fucked anything and anyone. That doesn't mean he was bisexual. Most men that sleep with men aren't homosexual or bisexual, only a tiny percent. I can assure you, as a homosexual. And it's not because it's not "accepted," it's because they aren't. Most do that in their teenage years to early 30s because they are more sexually active and explore all kinds of things, even I have slept with women.
As masculine as he looked, there was always something feminine in the way he spoke. The same with Burt Lancaster. I always thought it was their style of line delivery. Even Wally Cox.
Personally He seems more gay To me but had to settle because of the times , not that gay men can’t be masculine but Heteros have to pretend oftentimes to be manly …gay men don’t have this pressure
Right Tina. None of our business. I watched it though being embarrassed that people, including myself, are curious about others. I wish humanity could get over itself about sexuality.
He didn’t care what anyone thought and loved life to the fullest. He was epic and so talented. He is studied in acting as one of the greatest! His addiction to sex I believe was a coping mechanism for wanting to feel loved. Wally Cox I believe was one of a few great loves in his life. I would like to think they are together again ❤️
Ok, humans are complexed and can not be pigeonholed or completely defined as much as the public would wish or demand it to be. So this was a very talented no holds barred human who happened to be a an iconic actor. Be grateful he exited.
Handsome, intelligent, sensitive, sexy, complex, talented, charismatic, passionate, principled...I do not doubt that there are more descriptives that apply.
He was a beautiful and talented young man. It's sad that his father was such a monster. It makes you wonder what his life would have been like with a good and loving father.
He absolutely loathed the character of Stanley Kowalski and that he was ever linked in some people's eyes as BEING that character. Doubtless he put a lot of his dad in that performance...
A beacon of singularity, originality, and freedom. Nothing he did was programmed. He was impassioned by love, beauty, and justice. Marlon will be loved from now to eternity.
@@mymindseyesees2002 homosexuality, heterosexuality, etc., are frames that are very real and form the internal logic of our existence. And for this reason, I am always facinated when this frame or enframing is somehow "threaten" by an overflow... Marlon makes me think of that fascinating excess.
Anyone who’s good looking believe they have this passport to do what they want to whom ever they want. Male , female even children especially in that sick industry. Far away from being a real man more like a prima Donna.
@@Hengry-hn7rb That is what I believe has plagued Armie Hammer. Looks, fame, wealth and so many people wanting to please you and be around you goest to your head and you get bored and keep needing to push the envelope and test people's limits.
@@paulaltman9751 Thank you they literally said he was diagnosed a psycho or something to that affect. And he abused and mistreated all of the people that loved him.
CLASS ACT AND A REAL GENTLEMAN , he was a passenger on my flight from Sydney , Australia to Los Angeles . Along with beautiful Nancy Wilson ~ I was a flight attendant working that flight and remember hearing his voice as the plane was boarding . So nice and kind ~ and Nancy Wilson also ( they had performed in Sydney @ a jazz festival . ) Certainly two of the very best ~ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A handsome genius who was ahead of his time and displayed a bravery and complexity not only in his work but personally by standing for causes that few championed at a time in American history where others would have been blacklisted or destroyed permanently. Having said that, Marlon Brando had a sadistic, dark side that broke many hearts, both male and female. There were also many whispers and rumors surrounding the death and homicides involving his adult children. He was accused of unspeakable behavior involving his daughter Cheyenne who committed suicide after her half-brother shot and killed her husband. This one-of-a-kind actor, artist, film director and activist will never be forgotten. His timeless body of work are masterpieces and speak to his incredible gifts and talents to this day.
Marlon Brando was a very complex man and extremely intelligent. I do not think he cared for white women he preferred exotic women to an ordinary American woman He was never faithful to any of his wives and had a highly sexual life. A fantastic actor one of the best he lived life his way.
Because he was a sick person he carried on with no concern for anything save for his sex drive. He was simply self destructive. What's there to admire?
@@YehoshuaMenachem this person is the type to make a post on reddit how they have these sick vile thoughts and look for validation of a community that accepts them no matter what they do, it's happening more and more in this time, kids think they should be accepted no matter what they believe in no matter how disturbing it is.
@@dictionplacement5467 So him having consensual sex was a problem ? Yet this country has a history of enslaving & forcefully taking people sexual autonomy from them . Your the type to see a young girl trafficked & say god bless America 🇺🇸
@@mymindseyesees2002 If we look at history this country has never had boundaries. You have to do better trying to land a point . People literally followed hitler willingly a man 👨 who used babies as targets . Go sit down somewhere. Marlon was flawed but he lived as honest as possible unlike plenty of you cowards
He was stunning, a rebel and lived his life on his own terms. I'm not surprised men and women we're attracted to him He was stunning, wild with a very distinct personality I'd have loved to have met him.😊
@@jayyoung4534 Sexual addiction is not a pretty sight. Particularly tragic when the addict is very successful in other ways. This means that the very successful addict is a tormented soul and in a peculiar way, enhances their talents(in this case, acting). I am not surprised Brando ended up so over-weight. Maybe when his attractiveness started to wane, raiding the fridge in the middle of the night became a habit.
blinded by beauty, what was that handsome man that went around killing women? I forget but damn people like this always obsessed with sex and fulfilling their selfish desires to no end, tell that to my cousin who's surfing couches addicted to drugs, alcohol and sex. it's a self destructive path but hey as long as they look good dying, am i right girl or what?
I know an older gentleman who was dating Loretta Young’s daughter back in the early fifties. One day he was waiting in the sitting room for her to get ready to go out & the doorbell rang. Since he was close by he opened the door instead of the maid. He said there stood the most incredibly handsome young man he’d ever seen. He was asking for someone down the street but had the wrong house. Fast forward a few months & he was walking by the newsstand & noticed the very same young man on the cover of several magazines. It was in fact Marlon Brando! He said “I’ve never in my life been attracted to a man, but the young Brando had an appeal that transcended just being physically handsome. It was intense & indescribable unless you had actually met him.” His acting is legendary & his lifestyle questionable at best but no one can deny he had a very unique quality & yes, beautiful in his youth.
Remember the Seinfeld episode where Jerry was befriended by a famous athlete who later took an attraction to Elaine and started spending more time with her? Jerry seemed to be frustrated and Elaine laughed, "Ha, what's the matter; you jealoussss??" Jerry replied, "Well he and I already made plans and he said we were getting together today," To which Elaine replied, "Wait a minute, are you jealous of HIM or ME?!?"
You still don't need to think of them as encounters. This is just a bunch of rumors and sensational speculation at best. Kate Buford, author of Burt Lancaster, An American Life (2000), stated in an interview in regard to Lancaster's supposed bisexuality: "It was like a hall of mirrors. I'd hear a story, and then the person would deny it. In the end, I couldn't confirm anything, though it seems that those categories - bi, straight, gay - meant nothing to him." Seems? To whom? The James Dean thing comes from a 2016 biography of Dean, also from Marlon Brando Unzipped. Both of these "biographies" were done well after the principals were gone, and rely on innuendo and questionable anecdote. That Dean straddled the sexual line is well-known, but he and Brando were not noted as being chummy when they were the hot young males in Hollywood in the 1950s. Brando was quoted as saying Dean was "using last year's Method, and wearing last year's jacket" in "Rebel Without a Cause". Of course that was just Brando being dominant in the relationship, right? Suppositions about actors and actresses have been popular since performers became sort-of respectable parts of culture. Actors and actresses do many roles and live what to many people seem to be colorfully unorthodox lives, so fantasies are woven about their private lives. Most of the ideas are just that - fantasies.
@@weveri6 However, they’re icons and powerful as far as their fame goes. They utilize their sexuality along with their social power to allow them to do what is in fantasy of average guy like me and you. That’s human nature. I would do the same if I was that much famous and wealthy. Wouldn’t you do it ? What it was said in the above clip, with some variation, is reality based.
It was his life. He did what he wanted to. He was famous enough, handsome enough and sexy enough to get away with scandals that would have ended the career of a lesser man. It’s wrong to lose your privacy just because your famous. It’s wrong for others to judge the choices you make in life. He tried very hard to live outside the norms of society. He over indulged and it cost him his health and then his life. I’m sorry he didn’t write a book or do a documentary that would allow him to express his feelings about the world and his place in it. He’s gone now and there is so little on film of him being himself. I won’t think of how he lived personally because that’s not important to me. Instead his films are there to remind us of his greatest professional moments, to be enjoyed by everyone. That’s how he should be remembered.
He actually made footage of him talking to himself for when he had seering panic attacks. There is a documentary about it. I THINK it's called "Listen to me, Marlon. I too ADORED him, in ALL his quirkiness, weight fluctuations and scandals. Because he was always BRANDO, true to himself. I also believe he could have had a more settled life if he was medicated to some degree. His father was a BEAST and Marlon suffered his ENTIRE life because of him. When his father died he said he finally felt FREE. He was the best and worst . An odd, beautiful, sensuous, FUNNY, troubled man that lived life on his own terms. Very loving father to his many children. I miss him so much.
enlightened you are. all true what you said. society is connected to agendas and not to what is truly important (imo) brando was molded by his traumas, he could read people far better than me (and i’m very good at it) and that is a liability more than a gift. it was that sharp perception i think is where he could insert himself into the character. he was beautiful in every sense.
What an actor way ahead of his time. He definitely didn’t give a SH*T what people thought and was open about his sexuality. In the end, life is too short to be focused on what people think. In fact, he even excelled in his career and won numerous awards regardless of what people though to him in his personal life.
I feel that he was so open about his experiences because he was sociopathic. When you seemingly become so powerful that nothing you do has any consequence, you live your life as such. Regardless, he lived a good life. Rest In Peace brother. ❤️
@@FactsVerse Definitely the intensity he brought in A streetcar. One moment he's a playing little boy, then a monster, then a man in love and finally so evil he drives Blanche to her final mental breaking point. Best Actor in my humble opinion. He had it all in spades as far as Hollywood is concerned. He was beautiful and talented.
Marlon Brando is amongst the most attractive and talented people of all time,his lifetime and beyond. The fact that he co mingled his beliefs and life with other nationalities of people in true love as an artist continues. ❤
A sex addict is what we'd call it today!! Sex is normal, but he enjoyed his escapades i suppose. I think he had a thing for Burt Reynolds too, that's why he was jealous of him.
Burt had a hard time looking so much like him and not getting good roles, that's why he grew the mustache- or was it because he was the gay trend at the time- I forget
I'm named after him and am just glad to know that he wasn't just a hot dude in hollywood, he was also involved in the civil rights movement and was always true to who he truly was!
Fame and riches are fleeting and can lead to many senseless and harmful desires.Understanding what real love is and acting on it will bring true contentment and happiness.must gain wisdom from the source of love.proverbs 2:6
Brando was very handsome, beautiful, incredible sexual charisma, sensual, brilliant actor, a great social justice advocate, a philosopher in his older age, spoke his mind, displayed fortitude and did not buy into the BS of Hollywood or social media. He was openly bisexual and did not care for the homophobic people. We need more of his type in 2021 and beyond.
@@gravegirl cis gender means the gender we are given at birth as in male and female is the same as we are in adult life regardless of our sexual orientation. Heterosexual, gay, lesbians, bisexual is a called sexual orientation. Transgender people do not identify with the sex given at birth, so trans people are not cisgender. A person can be transgender and Heterosexual, gay, bisexual, lesbian,etc. Do not confuse sexual orientation with gender. There is no such thing in science as " normal". What you mean is dominant population. To learn more intersex people have variation in chromosomes, hormones, internal reproductive or external reproductive organs. There are nearly 50 types of intersex conditions. Hopefully this clarifies for you the difference between cisgender and sexual orientation. In summary a person can be transgender n Heterosexual or gay and cisgender, or Heterosexual ( straight) and cisgender.
that's AMAZING! 😱 I'd be in SUCH awe of him and his EXTRAORDINARY DROP DEAD GORGEOUS looks would've knocked me SPEECHLESS! 😳 Marlon was SOO BREATHTAKINGLY HAWT! 🔥🥵🔥🥵🔥🥵🔥🥵🔥🥵🔥🥵
Anyone who’s ever seen Last Tango In Paris not only finds this very easy to believe, but kind of knew it already😂Personally, I love that film. It’s really a work of art, that could never be made again.
I laughed out loud when the video described his adoration for Wally Cox as the man he loved most of all, so much so that his will stipulated that his ashes be mixed with Cox's. Brando was something else.
Well one thing about him, he lived his life exactly how he wanted to. He didn’t bend to anybody else’s opinion. Not saying it was good , but he certainly called the shots in his own life.
We can see what childhood trauma or any traumatic experience can affect on people physical,emotional , spiritual and physiological. It could lead people to do unusual thing just to get out from that thought. Some can’t be cured and haunt them all their lives. This is not easy for those who suffer from their horrible experience . Some of them are strong and some of them just can’t take it no more. I hope for their best and pray them.
Brando worshipped Montgomery Clift the way that Dean later worshipped him: Montgomery Clift will never be forgotten as long as there are cinemas - and neither will Brando & Dean.
Marlon Brando was a great actor. I saw him in “ The last tango in Paris “. What a performance!! I lived in Hollywood in the 60s.Most actors live a great and free life. Ils roulent a voile ou a vapeur .C’est la vie.
He loves sex. Who doesn't? He had multiple sexual partners, male or female. Maybe a type of coping mechanism due to his mental health? We don't know. It didn't bother him. Had no regrets. Achieved great things as an actor. Lived life to the fullest up to 80 years. Not bad. His life, his rules. ☺🙂🤗
Even straight people can have non-sexual crushes on the same sex; someone they look up to or admire or who just oozes charisma that they want to be around. Sexuality is complex.
Dude, you got some pushback here from the men. I agree with you, but it’s possible that it might be more imaginable for women to admit to such things. A lot of men are horrified by the notion. I’ve always thought that was funny because that means that they can’t imagine what you would be doing with them as a woman… Right if men are so unappealing… That’s funny. But I couldn’t agree with you more that sexuality is very complex. It’s very interesting and sometimes it feels as if it’s the final frontier. We rationalize everything else to death well, and even sex
I Respect the fact that He Was Who He Was .. " Respected " .. and He Didn't GAF about What Ppl Thought or Said ... ( Team Brando for Life ) .. 1 The Best That Ever Done it 🙏🏾🖤💪🏾💙
I was surprised by the hateful remarks in some of the comments. Some people are very ignorant. I always knew. Bottom line, he was a great actor and splendid star! He was ahead of his time and socially conscious. 🤩
Despite what some commentators might wish, Brando and Dean knew of each other ( on rare occasions were in the same photograph ) but never knew each other. Dean also worshipped Montgomery Clift as an actor but neither Brando nor Clift wanted anything to do with Dean - he was too intense. We are blessed to still have astounding film peformances by all three. They had enough pain in their separate personal lives without baseless rumours being inflicted on them in death. Their actual sexual preferences and partners were, and are, their own business.
What made Marlon Brando so charismatic was the fact that he was so true to himself. An authentic person who didn't care to fit in and live by the norms of society. I believe that this made him a loner at heart.. especially when we consider the industry he was working for. It takes guts to be like that,..to stand alone and not give a crap.

Lol y do women love gay men. Just because its been around doesn't mean its correct for society. It doesn't produce any kids and civilisation doesn't function by being gay but that's y the western world has collapsed because lgbt people have taken over. And I find that women like u support and reinforce this.
A very wise man's comment
I guess he knew gays then
He was definitely addicted to sex. It’s a little sad. But the fact that he was open about being Bi at a time when it was not accepted is was pretty revolutionary and what a legendary actor.
@@luismaldonado4989 "the fact that he was open about being BI at a time when it was not accepted was revolutionary" I didn't say anything about proud to be debaucherous. unless you think just being bisexual is debauchery. in which case that is very homophobic.
@@luismaldonado4989 your one of those people that thinks racism doesn’t exist, aren’t you?
@@luismaldonado4989 the fact that he had 15(!) different children with different women, is more of an indication of debauchery, than him being bisexual, that should upset you more, also a majority of actors in Hollywood are gay or bisexual, many still aren't open about it

What makes you think he was honest? Because it was shocking? Some people he named have denied it, so are they lying because you want to believe salacious crap?
Brando was a good looking guy (by almost anyone's standards), and a great actor. Doesn't mean everything else about his life was great, or admirable. Fame is fleeting and, in the end, means NOTHING.
And he knew this also.
In the end it's all dust in the wind.
He was certainly not perfect. No one is. But there were many more layers to his personality. Do look up the "Listen to me Marlon" Documentary.
@@muhammadaadilali5638 No doubt you are correct. But he is not someone I would want my 'loved ones' to emulate. His life was chaos. Chaos leads to more chaos!
I really like Brando---as an actor. I own three of his videos. Personally, he was a forceful personality. 'A force of nature', as it were. But it is difficult to find where truth found peace in his life. Layer upon layer.

His Father and Mother were alcoholics. Addiction is genetic. Brando's addiction was obviously sex and food as his later obesity spoke to an eating disorder. He seemed to me to be borderline personality. They will involve themselves in all kinds of risky behavior. He was a brilliant actor and beautiful man. I think he knew what emotional and mental pain was and understood it in other people as well, That is why he could connect with his characters on a deep level. He understood human weakness, anger, sensuality, loneliness and also love and tenderness. He was a complex human being.

His genius was (I think) he was able to tap into his flaws as all humans have and use and channel them into his roles. And I really admire that he was confident in himself to not have to hide his true sexuality - he just had other conflicts and demons to deal with.
I don't think he had any genius. He had a great talent, never understood it, but let it happen. Some of his movies were great, many were not. The later ones, not the Godfather, but the others, were terrific.
@@nonenoneonenonenone none none none. none none well, maybe
@@nonenoneonenonenone none none none. none none well, maybe
Brando, despite his demons, lived his life fully at a time when most people lived small and fearfully. It was no little thing to demonstrate for civil rights back then and, even today, folks are just now and still with great trepidation expressing their sexual preferences. He was a larger than life guy who lent his fame to help others. No doubt, he had issues in his family life, but he never abandoned his children. People often recall his role in The Godfather and Streetcar Named Desire, but I also recall his role in The Young Lions. A star of his stature playing a Nazi officer!! It was an unusual and insightful film for its time and underappreciated because of this. Anyhow, he made room in the fabric of a grey society for others to follow.
Thanks for watching!
@RainbowRising Like what?
@RainbowRising lol. 🦖☄ guess you didn't get the memo
Alixandrina: infidelity is about selfishness and betrayal. Being an accomplished actor doesn't erase that at all.
@@pastelskies8466 Agreed. But infidelity is a personal matter between two lovers. I am sure that the lovers that Brando had at the time were aware that he was not one for monogamy. It was their choice to try. And, my dear, there are some lovers worth that gamble, no matter the repercussions. Of course, many are not. There has never been any indication that he was violent towards his lovers. That would impact my feelings towards him. However, I really don't believe in judging a person's whole life based solely his or her ability to be faithful. Monogamy us not for everyone. I was not addressing his personal life. I was addressing his public activities as related to the social ethos of his time. He took a stand. When many would not. He went his own way. He supported civil rights for African Americans and Indians. He was generous in his support. And, he accepted the responsibility of fatherhood. Perhaps he wasn't good at it. Mine wasn't. But he was there. It's naive to expect people of fame or leaders of any ilk to live flawless lives. He wasn't a hypocrite. By all accounts he was extremely frank. He wasn't a priest. He was an actor. I always liked him. His style. His acting. The way he moved. And his politics.
His dad really screwed him up. Domestic violence ruins people.

I am Surprised ...
I'm shocked!
I dont think it suits these famous stars very well, that their private life was so unhealthy to mind and body. Nobody can deny that he was handsome and spite his eye for men as well, women adored him to the core.
I dont think he was kind, but obvius he had what it took to take several actors down during his lifetime, and that dont matter for some, but I would never in a million years accept a boyfriend or husbond, living like that, people can live as they please I dont judge them, but I am not that tolerant.

Brando was a great actor and very handsome man in his youth, very troubled from a small child until his death - he was a humanitarian for the underdog, but very damaged in his own life - I love his acting and may he RIP -
i think brando and wally cox met in grade school. as most everyone probably knows, people you become friends with in grade school and stay friends with through all of your developmental changes are pretty irreplaceable. so, that's probably why Brando felt that way about him. Very human.

The difference between Brando & many men throughout the ages was that he was honest about his bisexuality. That veil was lifted more frequently from the 1950s onwards, reaching a casual openness from the mid 1960s onwards. However, many insecure males still grabbed onto the safety clause of 'Don't ask, Don't tell', which resulted in neuroses and even worse 'side afflictions'. I guess only those who are totally secure within themselves are relaxed enough to discuss their experiences in same sex relationships. Not that the demand to do so, is important, it does help the insecurity to diminish.
And many of us have no desire.

I'm not surprised at all, he was a very good looking man
When he was young do you mean..
@@octavianapanait1918 for sure
@cornelius washington Yes..when he was young, he looked better..but the age and life itself showed their effects very fast at this gentlemen unfortunatelly.
William Thompson People get attracted to all sorts because that what chemistry is all about. Of course being physically attractive means one has more admirers, women and men. But just because someone is a good-looking man who is fancied by gay men does not mean the, in this case Brando, has to respond and get involved. Looks have nothing to do with acting out the same-sex thing. One does it because one is genuinely attracted to it. However it sounds like Brando was so over-sexed that he used it as emotional currency. And of course it's interesting that he became a great actor because of his life growing up. AND NOT IN SPITE OF A DIFFICULT CHILDHOOD.

One of the reasons why Brando is the greatest actor of al-time because, most of the actors who we know such as De Niro, Al Pacino or Johnny Depp are Marlon Brando's products. So, in a certain way he raised all of them.
15 children - some of whom were terribly messed-up themselves. Given his own childhood and his parents, he probably couldn't have been a good father even if he'd tried, which I doubt he really did.
He had a horrible childhood his dad wasn't FATHER OF THE YR MATERIAL obviously.He was very close to his mother.

Let's talk about how he used his status to champion other more important causes--for one, the image of Native Americans portrayed on the screen for instance.
And like most social justice warriors he was a prick in his personal relationships. He toyed with people's emotions-asking someone to marry him when he had no intention of following through- promising fidelity and continually breaking lover's hearts. It's easy to grand stand and play the noble hero with all of Hollywood watching and applauding. It's much harder to simply be a decent person who treats everyone they meet with respect.

Gay, straight, bi. Everyone has to make their own choice about that. Doesn’t bother me none.
Definitely one of the best actors ever. Amazing how self confident he seemed with himself (after his childhood trauma), which is why he had a great career and was comfortable in his own skin.
I don't get Brando's acting style being described as "macho." Brando's style was androgynous, both on and off the screen. John Wayne and Clark Gable epitomized a macho acting style. Brando's screen essence was their polar opposite.
@@lemorab1 I A B S O L U T E L Y agree! Brando could PLAY macho, but he could also play soft and tender and sweet. He was truly a great … and there aren’t too many of those !

Incredible story. It’s ironic, I too was called Brando in 6th grade by my favorite teacher of all of my time. I truly didn’t appreciate his presence in the big screen. However, because of his tough childhood and his later clinical and medical diagnosis, we do have something in common. I respect his open honesty of his inner life. Hopefully, his children get a better outlook in their lives, despite of some previous tragedies that have already occurred in theirs. Blessings to his remaining children.

SWLinPHX have you ever heard of self control and boundaries. Have you ever heard of narcissism
If Marlon Brando was a 30-40yr old actor in Hollywood today, he would be considered an A list actor and the sexiest man alive. I also believe he would be open about his sexuality. He would be as vocal as Robert De Niro when it comes to politics and on the front line of Civil Rights and the Alaskan Pipe Line protests as well as protecting Native lands. I'm saying Brando back then and would be the same today.
Thanks for watching!
He was addicted to sex!! He would've fucked anything and anyone. That doesn't mean he was bisexual. Most men that sleep with men aren't homosexual or bisexual, only a tiny percent. I can assure you, as a homosexual. And it's not because it's not "accepted," it's because they aren't. Most do that in their teenage years to early 30s because they are more sexually active and explore all kinds of things, even I have slept with women.
As masculine as he looked, there was always something feminine in the way he spoke. The same with Burt Lancaster. I always thought it was their style of line delivery. Even Wally Cox.

A handsome genius who was ahead of his time and displayed a bravery and complexity not only in his work but personally by standing for causes that few championed at a time in American history where others would have been blacklisted or destroyed permanently. Having said that, Marlon Brando had a sadistic, dark side that broke many hearts, both male and female. There were also many whispers and rumors surrounding the death and homicides involving his adult children. He was accused of unspeakable behavior involving his daughter Cheyenne who committed suicide after her half-brother shot and killed her husband. This one-of-a-kind actor, artist, film director and activist will never be forgotten. His timeless body of work are masterpieces and speak to his incredible gifts and talents to this day.
Marlon Brando was a very complex man and extremely intelligent. I do not think he cared for white women he preferred exotic women to an ordinary American woman He was never faithful to any of his wives and had a highly sexual life. A fantastic actor one of the best he lived life his way.

I know an older gentleman who was dating Loretta Young’s daughter back in the early fifties. One day he was waiting in the sitting room for her to get ready to go out & the doorbell rang. Since he was close by he opened the door instead of the maid. He said there stood the most incredibly handsome young man he’d ever seen. He was asking for someone down the street but had the wrong house. Fast forward a few months & he was walking by the newsstand & noticed the very same young man on the cover of several magazines. It was in fact Marlon Brando! He said “I’ve never in my life been attracted to a man, but the young Brando had an appeal that transcended just being physically handsome. It was intense & indescribable unless you had actually met him.” His acting is legendary & his lifestyle questionable at best but no one can deny he had a very unique quality & yes, beautiful in his youth.
Was that Loretta Young's daughter by Clark Gable?

speculation at best. Kate Buford, author of Burt Lancaster, An American Life (2000), stated in an interview in regard to Lancaster's supposed bisexuality: "It was like a hall of mirrors. I'd hear a story, and then the person would deny it. In the end, I couldn't confirm anything, though it seems that those categories - bi, straight, gay - meant nothing to him." Seems? To whom? The James Dean thing comes from a 2016 biography of Dean, also from Marlon Brando Unzipped. Both of these "biographies" were
done well after the principals were gone, and rely on innuendo and questionable anecdote. That Dean
straddled the sexual line is well-known, but he and Brando were not noted as being chummy when
they were the hot young males in Hollywood in the 1950s. Brando was quoted as saying Dean was
"using last year's Method, and wearing last year's jacket" in "Rebel Without a Cause". Of course that was
just Brando being dominant in the relationship, right?
Suppositions about actors and actresses have been popular since performers became sort-of respectable parts of culture. Actors and actresses do many roles and live what to many people seem
to be colorfully unorthodox lives, so fantasies are woven about their private lives. Most of the ideas
are just that - fantasies.
@@weveri6
However, they’re icons and powerful as far as their fame goes. They utilize their sexuality along with their social power to allow them to do what is in fantasy of average guy like me and you. That’s human nature. I would do the same if I was that much famous and wealthy. Wouldn’t you do it ? What it was said in the above clip, with some variation, is reality based.
@@weveri6 ::
Maybe Brando wanted the part in "Rebel" ? Actors can be self-centered. I guess that's why they're in that business ?
Many artist believe in free love Lord Byron Percy Shelly and Mary Shelly .to name a few .

Thanks for watching!
You couldn't care less about his 'sleeping' activities; I couldn't care less about his fame, or its source. We stand worlds apart---I suspect.

@@davol2449 I’m sure you are a perfect athlete yourself, right? 😂
It was his life. He did what he wanted to. He was famous enough, handsome enough and sexy enough to get away with scandals that would have ended the career of a lesser man. It’s wrong to lose your privacy just because your famous. It’s wrong for others to judge the choices you make in life. He tried very hard to live outside the norms of society. He over indulged and it cost him his health and then his life. I’m sorry he didn’t write a book or do a documentary that would allow him to express his feelings about the world and his place in it. He’s gone now and there is so little on film of him being himself. I won’t think of how he lived personally because that’s not important to me. Instead his films are there to remind us of his greatest professional moments, to be enjoyed by everyone. That’s how he should be remembered.
He actually made footage of him talking to himself for when he had seering panic attacks. There is a documentary about it. I THINK it's called "Listen to me, Marlon.
I too ADORED him, in ALL his quirkiness, weight fluctuations and scandals. Because he was always BRANDO, true to himself.
I also believe he could have had a more settled life if he was medicated to some degree. His father was a BEAST and Marlon suffered his ENTIRE life because of him. When his father died he said he finally felt FREE.
He was the best and worst . An odd, beautiful, sensuous, FUNNY, troubled man that lived life on his own terms.
Very loving father to his many children.
I miss him so much.
enlightened you are. all true what you said. society is connected to agendas and not to what is truly important (imo) brando was molded by his traumas, he could read people far better than me (and i’m very good at it) and that is a liability more than a gift. it was that sharp perception i think is where he could insert himself into the character. he was beautiful in every sense.
He was comfortable with his sexuality and was honest about it.
God Bless him

He got the number of children wrong. What else is false in this video?
@@raylenenielsen5943 I was taking about the narrator who said Marlon Brando had 15 kids. Marlon only had 11. Nimwhit.
What an actor way ahead of his time. He definitely didn’t give a SH*T what people thought and was open about his sexuality. In the end, life is too short to be focused on what people think. In fact, he even excelled in his career and won numerous awards regardless of what people though to him in his personal life.
I feel that he was so open about his experiences because he was sociopathic. When you seemingly become so powerful that nothing you do has any consequence, you live your life as such. Regardless, he lived a good life. Rest In Peace brother. ❤️
Lol or maybe he enjoyed the experiences & they made him who he was & had no Shame that people wanted him to have
he reminds me of homelander
Oh he was so handsome in the early 50s I totally would've let Marlon Brando hit it.
What's your favorite memory of him, Jara?
@@FactsVerse Definitely the intensity he brought in A streetcar. One moment he's a playing little boy, then a monster, then a man in love and finally so evil he drives Blanche to her final mental breaking point. Best Actor in my humble opinion. He had it all in spades as far as Hollywood is concerned. He was beautiful and talented.

Marlon Brando used and abused Rita Moreno.
@@harperstacey9604 WOW!!!!!!

Marlon Brando is amongst the most attractive and talented people of all time,his lifetime and beyond. The fact that he co mingled his beliefs and life with other nationalities of people in true love as an artist continues. ❤
What’s there to be surprised about? Brando, was the symbol of Hollywood.
A sex addict is what we'd call it today!! Sex is normal, but he enjoyed his escapades i suppose. I think he had a thing for Burt Reynolds too, that's why he was jealous of him.
Burt and Marlon were the most handsome men
@El Cruzer Who was?
Burt had a hard time looking so much like him and not getting good roles, that's why he grew the mustache- or was it because he was the gay trend at the time- I forget
He was a pig.
@@paulaltman9751, Brando yes, he was!
I'm named after him and am just glad to know that he wasn't just a hot dude in hollywood, he was also involved in the civil rights movement and was always true to who he truly was!
It seems like when you have everything but real love, you always want more but can't achieve your desire.
Wise words and so true
Fame and riches are fleeting and can lead to many senseless and harmful desires.Understanding what real love is and acting on it will bring true contentment and happiness.must gain wisdom from the source of love.proverbs 2:6

Brando was very handsome, beautiful, incredible sexual charisma, sensual, brilliant actor, a great social justice advocate, a philosopher in his older age, spoke his mind, displayed fortitude and did not buy into the BS of Hollywood or social media. He was openly bisexual and did not care for the homophobic people. We need more of his type in 2021 and beyond.
guess you are bisexual so you would say that
@@aryalogo6624 no I am gay cisgender man! To support and validate other sexual orientation is NOT dependent on one own sexual orientation.
Brando was a talented actor but seems to have had narcissistic personality disorder and was an addict.
@@devan5380 cisgender is the word they made up for normal people... if you are gay you are not cisgender
@@gravegirl cis gender means the gender we are given at birth as in male and female is the same as we are in adult life regardless of our sexual orientation. Heterosexual, gay, lesbians, bisexual is a called sexual orientation. Transgender people do not identify with the sex given at birth, so trans people are not cisgender. A person can be transgender and Heterosexual, gay, bisexual, lesbian,etc. Do not confuse sexual orientation with gender. There is no such thing in science as " normal". What you mean is dominant population. To learn more intersex people have variation in chromosomes, hormones, internal reproductive or external reproductive organs. There are nearly 50 types of intersex conditions. Hopefully this clarifies for you the difference between cisgender and sexual orientation. In summary a person can be transgender n Heterosexual or gay and cisgender, or Heterosexual ( straight) and cisgender.
There will never be another like him!
They don't make movies like that anymore either so yeah, stick to TCM
I'm afraid there are plenty like him, sadly.
Saw Brando at the Miami airport in '68. God, he was gorgeous! My mother even thought so!
He truly was...

Anyone who’s ever seen Last Tango In Paris not only finds this very easy to believe, but kind of knew it already😂Personally, I love that film. It’s really a work of art, that could never be made again.
I used to play that theme song all the time
Wow,I remember the Movie,but I never saw it.
He raped that woman.
I laughed out loud when the video described his adoration for Wally Cox as the man he loved most of all, so much so that his will stipulated that his ashes be mixed with Cox's. Brando was something else.
Well one thing about him, he lived his life exactly how he wanted to. He didn’t bend to anybody else’s opinion. Not saying it was good , but he certainly called the shots in his own life.
marlon brando understood that sex is a matter of liking... love and affection is another thing,
💯
We can see what childhood trauma or any traumatic experience can affect on people physical,emotional , spiritual and physiological. It could lead people to do unusual thing just to get out from that thought. Some can’t be cured and haunt them all their lives. This is not easy for those who suffer from their horrible experience . Some of them are strong and some of them just can’t take it no more. I hope for their best and pray them.
TRUTH INDEED UGH
NO MATTER WHAT HE WAS LIKE PRIVATELY, HE DELIVERED ON SCREEN! R.I.P. M.B.!
Thanks for watching!
I have always thought his acting skills were over rated. So many other men were far better, such as Montgomery Clift.
He dominates every scene he was in. You couldn't take your eyes off him.
No one remembers Montgomery Clift!
gawa ka teh ng clip about montgomery
Brando worshipped Montgomery Clift the way that Dean later worshipped him: Montgomery Clift will never be forgotten as long as there are cinemas - and neither will Brando & Dean.
@@randymoran67 I remember him he is one of my favorite actors!
Really Brando didn't give a "F" about what anybody else thought.

Marlon Brando was a great actor. I saw him in “ The last tango in Paris “. What a performance!! I lived in Hollywood in the 60s.Most actors live a great and free life. Ils roulent a voile ou a vapeur .C’est la vie.

Nobody would have slept with him in the first place 🙂if he was not attractive

He loves sex. Who doesn't? He had multiple sexual partners, male or female. Maybe a type of coping mechanism due to his mental health? We don't know. It didn't bother him. Had no regrets. Achieved great things as an actor. Lived life to the fullest up to 80 years. Not bad. His life, his rules. ☺🙂🤗
Thanks for watching!
There are ppl who don’t love sex
He dance to the beat of a different drum.

@@FURUclipsCensors And still can bed more women than you
Even straight people can have non-sexual crushes on the same sex; someone they look up to or admire or who just oozes charisma that they want to be around. Sexuality is complex.
Although Brando seemingly had actual _sex_ with these men, so one must wonder.
@@joshargan1601 Oh, yes he was bi. I'm just saying something additional.
No bro… that’s pretty gay no straight guy has a crush on a man
No we can’t; I’ve never looked at another man with sexual interest you derelict idiot.
Dude, you got some pushback here from the men. I agree with you, but it’s possible that it might be more imaginable for women to admit to such things. A lot of men are horrified by the notion. I’ve always thought that was funny because that means that they can’t imagine what you would be doing with them as a woman… Right if men are so unappealing… That’s funny. But I couldn’t agree with you more that sexuality is very complex. It’s very interesting and sometimes it feels as if it’s the final frontier. We rationalize everything else to death well, and even sex

Despite what some commentators might wish, Brando and Dean knew of each other ( on rare occasions were in the same photograph ) but never knew each other. Dean also worshipped Montgomery Clift as an actor but neither Brando nor Clift wanted anything to do with Dean - he was too intense. We are blessed to still have astounding film peformances by all three. They had enough pain in their separate personal lives without baseless rumours being inflicted on them in death. Their actual sexual preferences and partners were, and are, their own business.
He was so handsome in his early years. Gosh..
Brando's bi-sexuality doesn't surprise me, but a relationship with Wally Cox sure does! 😳
Thank you. I enjoyed Brando's work in several of his films.
