• Bronson's most famous crime is the 1974 post office robbery for which he was sentenced to 7 years.
• During his time in prison, Bronson became known as an artist and poet, and even received awards for his work, donating a portion of the proceeds from sales to charity.
• There is a Free Bronson movement in the United Kingdom.
• Tom Hardy gained 19 kilograms of muscle mass for the film.
• For this role, Tom Hardy communicated with the real Charles Bronson by phone and also met with him in person. During the meetings, Bronson was so impressed with Hardy's preparation for the role, and with the thought that his life would be immortalized in the film, that he shaved off his signature mustache and sent it to the actor to wear during filming.
