The Mystical Connection: Charlie Bronson And The Number 13 In Film And Folklore

Charlie Bronson, renowned for his role as a fearless enforcer, holds a unique connection to the number 13. Stemming from Aztec mythology, where 13 represented the underworld, and Roman superstition associating it with the God of War, Mars, Bronson embraced 13 as his “unlucky” number. He believed it brought misfortune, from lost keys to car accidents. Ironically, Bronson’s fame skyrocketed after his 13th film, making 13 both his bane and benefactor.
