While walking down the Hollywood Boulevard one day, Charlie Chaplin (1889 - 1977) saw a large poster in front of a movie theater that announced a new film comedy in which Douglas Fairbanks played.
There was a young man standing there, and Chaplin asked him:
- Boy, have you seen this movie?
- Of course! – the boy answered.
- Is it funny? – asked Chaplin.- What a stupid question. I died laughing. Fairbanks is the best.
- Is he good like Chaplin?
- Much better than that wretched Chaplin, for whom I only feel pity. – continued the young man.
- If so, let me introduce myself. I am Charlie Chaplin! – Chaplin angrily exclaimed.
- I am pleased to meet you. I am Douglas Fairbanks!
- Of course! – the boy answered.

After this unusual acquaintance, Chaplin and Fairbanks became very good friends.
