Albert and Charlie: A Budding Friendship
I never considered connecting these two individuals in any way, but it turns out that they were actually really good friends. Theoretical physicist Albert Einstein and silent film actor Charlie Chaplin might not seem to have anything in common; after all, they came from completely different fields.
Nevertheless, both men were of European origin (Chaplin from England and Einstein from Germany) and both decided to move to the United States. They instantly clicked when they met during Chaplin’s tour of the country. They enjoyed each other’s company so much that Chaplin invited Einstein for dinner, resulting in one of the first true bromances of the 19th century.
