He looks like a young version of his dad
As Charlie Chaplin’s son and heir, Charlie Jr., the Australian actor Xavier Samuel brings to life what Charlie looked like when he was 17. That year his father had just completed one of his most iconic films, City Lights. In this behind-the-scenes portrait, we get a glimpse of how much Xavier’s visage resembles his dad’s in 1929 as he prepares for his film debut as an extra in the movie.
Is this the best portrayal?
The Charlie Chaplin biopic is an excellent example of an actor really embodying a character, especially for those who’ve seen some of his more recent work in The Beautiful Ones and Riverdale, but blonde netflix is hoping this will be the film to put him on the map and that he’ll play a variety of diverse roles in the future.
I felt like he was the real deal
I love a good biopic, so when I first found out about Blonde Netflix’s upcoming film on the life of actor Charlie Chaplin’s son, I was intrigued. At first, I thought the casting choice for ‘Charles Junior,’ who we later learn is named after his mother and father, ‘Charles and Victoria Chaplin’ (played by Xavier Samuel and Lily James), seemed random at best, but soon found that he was perfect for the role because he has the blonde hair necessary to play such a character.
He nailed it with every line
I don’t have time for this! I’m the son of Charlie Chaplin, of all people.
His ability to mimic his father was uncanny
It may be hard to tell the difference between Charlie Chaplin and his son, who portrayed him in the TV film blonde, but rest assured: they were two different people. Actor Xavier Samuel says he was taken aback by how accurately he was able to mimic his father’s mannerisms and voice, which made for an uncanny performance on screen.
Bravo! Such a good job
Netflix’s new series, Blonde, is already getting major praise. Not only has it been on the air for less than a month and it’s already receiving seven Emmy nominations, but it has also received rave reviews from viewers on social media.
