Charlie Chaplin is considered a symbol of comedy worldwide that no one can surpass.

Charlie Chaplin is associated with the image of a man with a mustache and an ugly tuxedo, often entangled in humorous trifles in mime. However, few people know that behind Charlie Chaplin's title "King of Clown" is a story that is somewhat pitiful but also extremely scary.

Born in 1889 in London, England, Charlie Chaplin grew up in a poor family. His father, a notorious alcoholic in the area, abandoned Charlie Chaplin and his mother and half-brother, Sydney. Since then, Charlie Chaplin and his younger brother have lived with their mother, a singer whose stage name is Lily Harley. Not long after, Charlie Chaplin's mother became severely mentally ill and could only raise the children for a short time. When she lost her voice and could no longer sing, she completely went crazy, at that time Charlie Chaplin was just a 5-6 year old boy. Mom went crazy and was "thrown" to a mental hospital. Charlie Chaplin's mother lived in a mental institution for 18 long years, until 1921 "King of Clown" moved her to California.

When his mother was hospitalized, Charlie Chaplin had to fend for himself as well as take care of his half-brother. At the age of 7, Charlie Chaplin was hospitalized and then transferred to a school for homeless children. After living there for 2 years, Charlie Chaplin went out to live a miserable life. At the age of 10, thanks to his mother's old relationship, Charlie Chaplin joined a clog dance troupe called Eight Lancashire Lads. However, "King of Clown Sac Lo" was only in this group for a short time, because it did not bring enough income to live on. That forced Charlie Chaplin to make a living by whatever he could at the time.

When famous, "King Clown Sac Lo" also revealed that he witnessed his mother working as a "florist", bringing many different men home. Charlie Chaplin's author Peter Ackroyd revealed that "The Clown King" was selfish, domineering and cruel even to his own children. The cause is said to be Charlie Chaplin's grim childhood. Witnessing the scene of an addicted father with a mentally ill mother and "self-reliant" from a very young age is also said to be a factor in shaping Charlie Chaplin's authoritarian personality later.

According to Peter Ackroyd's 2014 biography Charlie Chaplin: A Brief Life, "The Clown King" rose to the status of "the most famous man in the world" at the age of 26. With conditions and fame and huge salary in Hollywood at that time, Charlie Chaplin received great attention from the public, especially women. Charlie Chaplin even proudly announced the "trophy" of sleeping with about 2,000 women in his lifetime.

In 1926, when interviewed on Vanity Fair, Charlie Chaplin arrogantly said: "I don't really love them, but they certainly do love me." The "King of Clowns" never really believed in women, or rather he liked to control everything. He was haunted by loss and abandonment as a child. Those injuries may have formed a character of unreasonable jealousy even if it was only the slightest act of provocation. Charlie Chaplin has an obsession with 16-year-old girls. Worth mentioning. All 4 wives of "King of Clowns Sac Lo" are teenage girls. Two of Charlie Chaplin's four wives were only 16 years old when they got married.

Charlie Chaplin married his first wife - actress Mildred Harris when he turned 29. At the time of marriage, Mildred Harris was only 16 years old and pregnant. This was Charlie Chaplin's first child, but the baby died just three days later. Charlie Chaplin is not pleased when Mildred Harris has many opportunities to develop her career. He forbade the marriage to only last two years.

In 1920, Charlie Chaplin met his second wife Lillita MacMurray (later renamed Lita Grey). At that time, Lita Gray was just a 12-year-old girl. Despite having feelings, Charlie Chaplin held back and waited until Lita Gray was 16 years old. When Lita Gray was 16 years old, Charlie Chaplin also quickly married because the actress was pregnant. However, "King Sac Lo" is said to not volunteer in this marriage. He only married because he was afraid of going to jail for having sex with a minor.

However, the marriage between the two also did not last long as it became hell for Lita Grey. According to Lita Grey, at the age of 16, she approached Charlie Chaplin with the promise of marriage. However, when she found out she was pregnant, Charlie Chaplin turned around and asked for an abortion. During their marriage, Lita Gray was subjected to a terrifying request for sex along with countless tantrums, insults, and even the promiscuity of Charlie Chaplin. "King Sac Lo" even pulled a gun to threaten his wife. At the end of the divorce, Charlie Chaplin had to pay $ 600,000 to keep Lita Gray quiet.

Charlie Chaplin's third wife is actress Paulette Goddard. When they first met, Paulette Goddard lied that she was only 17 years old (actually 22 years old) to get attention from "King of Clowns". Although he later learned the truth, Charlie Chaplin still let Paulette Goddard move into the mansion. The two lived together for 7 years and ended up just because of Charlie Chaplin's jealousy and control.

Already at the age of 54, Charlie Chaplin is said to have found true love in his fourth marriage to Oona ONeill (18 years old). When she met Charlie Chaplin, she was an aspiring actress. Despite dating JD Salinger and Orson Welles, Oona ONeill has a strong love for Charlie Chaplin - a man who is the same age as her father. The two quickly married in 1943.

The age difference is not a barrier between the two. Charlie Chaplin and Oona ONeill have been living together, as well as having eight children together. They live in Switzerland due to being forced to leave the United States. Oona ONeill looked after Charlie Chaplin's health until his death in 1977.
