The place of birth of legendary actor, Charlie Chaplin, deepens. Fresh files released from MI5 have confirmed he was not born in London, Sky news has reported.
Back in 1952, US officials asked the British intelligence office to look into the actor's birth after he left the USA, amidst suspicion he was a communist sympathiser.
It is believed Chaplin was born on 16 April 1889 in South London. But MI5 found no record of his birth in the country. "It would seem that Chaplin was either not born in this country or that his name at birth was other than those mentioned." Scotland Yard's Special Branch received a tip that the actor was actually born in France.
