Marlon Brando was the ultimate alpha male. He slept with everyone in Hollywood. He was a civil rights activist. An inventor. Father of seventeen. Husband of three. Lover of hundreds, if not thousands. He held at least two patents for inventions he made. Had his own island. Was a boxer. Broke the jaw of intrusive paparazzi, and the nose of a shark. Laughed at James Dean and John Wayne and felt they were just a joke. Had no respect for Hollywood conventions and rules, wiped his ass with his Oscar and when interviewed to talk about his movies, would instead go off-script each time and either hit on girls in the studio or talk about important social issues he felt needed to be addressed.
He’d work out all day, and eat all night as he held orgies in his mansion. One ex-lover wanted to contain his legendary appetite by locking the kitchen door with a key and padlock, so Brando climbed out through the drainage and into the next window, entering the kitchen and plundering the fridge all the same because his appetite for food, just like his appetite for sex, was a force that could not be contained by mere mortals.
Political correctness was a term he never heard of, and there was no one in the world too big a target for him. He’d go on Larry King live and, on-air, explain to King (Jewish guy!) how “Hollywood was run by Jews” — he wanted to make a point how studio heads should be more sensitive to minorities being displayed on screen in a bad light because so many of them came from a group that had, itself, been badly treated throughout history. But my goodness, he made his point in such a blunt way, all hell broke loose in the media.
Famously eccentric, Brando amused himself by making his pal Johnny Depp sit on a fart pillow, pitched an idea to his director to play Superman’s dad as a bagel “since nobody knows what a Martian looks like anyway!” and had studio heads address his personal mail to the name of his pet Mastiff, Doctor Tim. He even once famously asked Michael Jackson “So.. what the hell is up with all those kids, Mike?”.
Marlon Brando did not give two shits. As far as actors go, he was the ultimate alpha male.
