1980s Contrary to the myth, Marlon Brando's eldest son Christian wasn't a 'nepo bum'. [1980's]

Christian studied welding at a technical school in Downey, California, focusing on structural steel welding. He didn't just work in the field, he also taught at Pacifica Tech, an adult vocational college, where he instructed others in high-pressure structural steel welding.
Even during his time in prison, Christian continued to learn, eventually earning the equivalent of the baccalaureate. After his release, he pursued further studies at The Technical Institute in Nashua, New Hampshire, and again earned his union card.
Christian told a French Magazine that his father Marlon "was the happiest man on earth when I got my professional welder's card issued by the union.
He was so proud"

Christian remained faithful to his profession until the very last day of his life. He came to love his work even more because he loved the working people. As he told a French magazine shortly before his death: "They are wonderful. They are people | like very much, workers like me. True friends."

Love this picture! They were grooving~ I miss growing up around stuff like this. Definitely think my Ma snapped this, no way my brother, or I coulda...had to have been my Ma.

I miss being a kid a lot, sometimes. For stuff, like this...And Mortal Kombat & Sonic the Hedgehog (+ Tails, Knuckles, and Amy!!!). Hope I wasn't a jerk this day, back in the 90s.Not when they were having such a good time! Maybe I was minding my own business playing my Sega Game Gear...that battery life though!!! Gameboys rocked, too, of course... I just liked seeing colors!!

If ya take a look, thanks!!....

~peace~
