A man who claimed to be Charles Bronson’s son for six years has now said they are not related and that they faked the relationship as part of a six-year publicity stunt.
The self-described “PR agent” made the comment during an interview with TalkTV about Bronson losing his Parole Board bid to be freed from jail.

He said: “Me and Charlie together made up the story that he was my dad.
“Charles Bronson is not my father. I am a PR agent. I’m a marketing person, and I’m the UK’s number one paparazzi.
“I’ve not told anybody this for six years and it’s been an absolute bane of my life.”
He added: “Me and Charlie, for the last six years, have made loads of money, we’ve had loads of fun, we’ve created loads of stories, we’ve done loads of ridiculous things, we’ve manipulated the media, we’ve manipulated the prison service.
“I got into the maximum security services in four different prisons as a journalist.”
Mr Bamby said the profits were split between him and Bronson’s consultant, because people serving jail time are not legally allowed to make money.
When asked for an interview by the PA news agency, Mr Bamby said to “refer to the (TalkTV) interview”, adding: “I’m off on holiday”.
