Charles Bronson’s ‘son’ claims he FAKED relationship with lag for 6 years ‘for publicity’ & ‘loads of money’

A MAN who claimed to be Charles Bronson’s son for six years has told how he faked their relationship.

George Bamby said he agreed to fake the relation in order to gain publicity for the notorious prisoner, adding that he “made loads of money” from it.

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.

Mr Bamby said Bronson – who changed his surname to Salvador in 2014 – approached him six years ago asking if he would help “get loads of publicity for him and make sure he wasn’t forgotten about”.

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.

It comes after Bronson was today denied his freedom after the parole board ruled he must stay behind bars.

Britain’s most notorious lag, 70, launched his eighth bid to finally be released after serving 50 years in prison.

But the Parole Board panel rejected the appeal today following a public hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice.

They ruled Bronson lacks the “skills to manage his risk of future violence” as the body also denied a move to an open prison.

The summary added: “The panel accepted that Mr Salvador genuinely wants to progress and that he is motivated to work towards his release.

“It thought that there was evidence of improved self-control and better emotional management.

“However, the panel was mindful of his history of persistent rule breaking and that Mr Salvador sees little wrong with this.

“He lives his life rigidly by his own rules and code of conduct and is quick to judge others by his own standards. His positive progress has to be assessed in the context of him being held in a highly restrictive environment.

“In the panel’s view, it is unknown exactly what is containing Mr Salvador’s risk. It is unclear whether the strong external controls of custody are mainly responsible or whether his attitudes have genuinely changed.”

Currently, the inmate, who claims he now “hates violence”, is only allowed out of his cell for 90 minutes a day.
