What inspired Charlie Chaplin?

Answer 1

Charlie Chaplin's greatest influence was said to be his mother. Both of Chaplin's parents were stage performers and when Chaplin was five years old, and his mother's singing voice was failing, the manager of the music hall substituted Charlie for his mother. He sung a well known song 'E' Dunno Where E' Are' and the audience loved it and threw coins onto the stage. At a very young age, Chaplin was told he would be the most famous man in the world.

Answer 2

He had very little education, and wanted to get away from the orphanage-school where he was living.

His father had been in show business, and his elder brother got him a job in the music-halls at the age of about thirteen.
