Recently Kurt Russell gave an interview about his new movie "The Hateful Eight" directed by Quentin Tarantino.
During this interview he talked about the one and only Charles Bronson who he worked with in the early 60´s.
Here´s what Kurt Russell said and it´s hilarious. It´s a typical Bronson story and I loved it.
"I was 11 and 12. I really liked Charlie. Charlie Bronson was... he was a very disliked man in many corners. He was a guy that did mean things. But I liked Charlie. I got him a present one time. Which he received, and went straight to his trailer, and the whole crew was like, 'Aw, Kurt. He's just an unhappy guy.' And I was like, 'It's OK.' And then about a half hour later, 'Kurt, Charlie wants to see you.' Went over to Charlie's trailer, knocked on the door, I'm thinking, What the fuck did I do wrong? He opens the door, he looks at me, and he goes, 'Um, nobody's ever given me a present before, so thanks.' And he shuts the door.
"My birthday comes up about two months later. He found out, I don't know how, and bought me an awesome Makaha skateboard. He got himself one, and we used to skateboard together on the MGM lot. One day the first assistant comes to me and, he says, 'Kurt, you can't skate around here. Insurance. They don't want you to do it.' I said, 'Oh, OK, sorry.' So then Charlie says to me a couple days later, 'Where's your skateboard?' I said, 'Well, they told me I couldn't skate.' He said, 'Hey Kurt, grab your skateboard.' And we go up to the president of MGM. He walks right by the secretary, opens the door, and says, 'This is Kurt, I got him a skateboard for his birthday. We're gonna be riding them all over the lot. Just want to let you know.' Turns around, walks out. That was that."
