Cheyenne Brando and Dag Drollet

I also stumbled upon Dag's nephew's Instagram.

His name is Matahi Drollet and he's a sexy Tahitian surfer!

Drugs.

Christian Brando was a damned mess!

Cheyenne's son Tuki Brando is still a hottie, though!

I didn't know Christian died in 2008.

Pneumonia is this code for overdose?

Wow, from R6's link:

[quote] Christian was shuttled between his mother and father. His parents became increasingly hostile and abusive toward one another, and engaged in a protracted custody battle. The 12-year custody battle and his mother's uncontrollable temper due to her abuse of drugs and alcohol had a major effect on young Christian. Marlon eventually won custody of Christian, who was then 13 years old. At that time, Marlon had described his son as a "basket case of emotional disorder".

[quote] Marlon was a distant father and spent little time with young Christian, who was raised by nannies and servants. Christian moved between Hollywood and Tetiaroa, his father's private island near Tahiti. Marlon continued to have relationships with multiple women by whom he fathered numerous children. Years later, while commenting on his childhood, Christian said, "The family kept changing shape, I'd sit down at the breakfast table and say, 'Who are you?'

At first I thought he was just a nutjob, but after reading that, I actually feel sorry for Christian.

He was doomed from the beginning as a pawn in Marlon’s & Anna’s acrimonious divorce.

Brando's parents were alcoholics as well.

Also:

[quote] In 1972, while his father was abroad in France filming Last Tango in Paris, Christian was kidnapped by his mother, who took him from school, then brought him to a gang of hippie friends in Baja California, Mexico. Apparently, she had promised them $10,000 if they would hide Christian away.

[quote] When she refused to pay, they took and hid the boy; a posse of private detectives hired by Marlon, from an agency named "The Investigators," led by private investigator Jay J. Armes, rescued him late one night. He was found living in a tent and ill with bronchial pneumonia. His mother was arrested near the Mexican border after being pulled over for drunk driving and disorderly behavior. Back in court his father was awarded sole custody.

Poor kid. What a fucking traumatic childhood.

His mother actually out lived him by 7 years.

I'm surprised that she was such a wackjob, given that she was born in India.

Marlon Brando may have been a great actor, but he had no business fathering any children. What a tragic mess.
