For the scenes with the lions Chaplin made some 200 takes, in many of which he was actually inside the lion's cage. His looks of fear are not all merely acting.
Dude,i'm so moved by Charlie Chaplin and i can't believe that he had such guts.Amazing..i don't udnerstand how something this old can make me laugh or smile yet it does:D
my friend's kid was watching "Avatar, the Last Airbender" series and he preferred this Chaplin clip over the anime on TV. lol!!! Chaplin win. He is timeless.
exactly, and aslann, he was very very cute... i love him, a very handsome man. But like u said Rubber, he didn't put anything between them. i bet he really was scared! xD there was a lion that could eat the little guy whole. of course with everything terrible going on with him at the time, i bet he wouldnt really care lol. jk but also at the end of the movie where he's on the tightrope and the monkies bite him and stuff, that was real too.
