If you're going to be assholes about it, put some thought into it, okay? I might as well add that if Marlon had died thirty years ago the whole world would have been stunned. He really was an incredible actor, way back when.
He did the same thing as Elvis and Di, though. He became a cartoon character. The last time he even tried to act was "The Godfather," and that was only because he was well paid.
So here, from IMDB's Brando-bio page are some reasons Marlon Brando was an asshole.
"Brando balked at the prospect of Burt Reynolds in the role of Sonny Corleone in Godfather, The (1972). Brando got his way. And James Caan got the part." (Everybody would have loved to see Burt get raked with machine-gun fire, instead of being all boo-hoo about Sonny's death. Even though Caan is like the uber-asshole himself. There's just something special about Burt being on the wrong end of a machine-gun. Admit it.)
"Was roommates with Wally Cox during his theatrical training in New York City."
(That's right, "roommates" is Hollywood-talk for "Homo." Marlon had to suck Wally Cox. Wally Cox was really into Marlon, you could say. Hey, Mugtoe's dick is named "Wally." Hmmm.)
"In 1995, as a guest on Larry King Live, kissed Larry King on the mouth." (Whoa, Marlon... you could have warned him about the Wally Cox thing. Get that man outta your mouth, Larry. You never know where it's been...)
"In April, 2002, a woman filed a $100 million palimony lawsuit in California against Brando, claiming he fathered her three children during a 14-year romantic relationship. Maria Cristina Ruiz, 43, filed the breach of contract suit demanding damages and living expenses." (Deadbeat dad or victim of a gold-digging Mexican bitch with a creative accountant and teams of pit-bull lawyers? You decide.)
"While filming Score, The (2001), he refused to be on the set at the same time as director Frank Oz." (Jesus, what an asshole! Frank Oz is MISS PIGGY, fer cryin' out loud. I'd think he'd be a blast to hang out with. But Marlon was an "Ack-tor" lost amid the clouds of his own intestinal gases mixed with the heady fumes of thespian self-delusion, fucking up great movies like "Apocalypse Now" by mumbling gibberish and demanding native boys be washed and brought to his trailer to suffer for the lack of twinkies onset... grrrrrr....)
"Received more money for his short appearance as Jor-El in "Superman" (1978) than Christopher Reeve did in the title role. ... Uses cue cards in many of his movies because he refuses to memorize his lines. His lines were written on the diaper of baby Kal-El in Superman (1978) (Sure explains a lot about his "performance" in that flick. He was reading his lines off a diaper. Now, there's a metaphor.)
"Has owned a private island off the Pacific coast, the Polynesian atoll known as Tetiaroa, since 1966." (Probably an unsuccessful attempt at getting over the Wally Cox thing. Poser.)
