Stunts


Robert does such a good job of the stunts in this movie, especially the routine he does for Max Sennett. Was Robert always circusy or did he have to learn these tricks for the movie?

He may have a natural ability for that sort of thing, but he certainly had to learn and work on these things for the film. I recall a quote (from his page on here) where he says: "When I accepted the part, they didn't tell me that I also had to do the acrobatic stuff of Charlie. That has cost me a lot of blood, sweat and tears."

He should have won an Academy Award.

I admit I'm very impressed with Robert Downey Jr's sounds as Chaplin. He's great.
