This is a story that Charlie Chaplin liked to tell about himself. It happened after the great actor had become internationally famous. A theater announced that a competition would be held to see who could act like Charlie Chaplin. Those taking part in it had to dress like Chaplin, walk like Chaplin and act one of the roles in a Chaplin’s film. When Charlie Chaplin heard about the competition, he decided to take part in the competition himself. Naturally he kept his plan a secret from everybody. When the results of the competition were announced, Charlie said: "I didn’t know whether to feel angry or only surprised. I didn’t win the first prize. But after thinking about it, I decided that it would be best to laugh."
