Christian Brando in ICU

Posted Jan 18th 2008 12:45PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned that Christian Brando, the 49-year-old son of actor Marlon, is in bad shape at Hollywood Presbyterian hospital.

Sources tell TMZ that Brando was admitted on Jan. 11 and remains in ICU. The exact nature of his illness is unknown.

Brando was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in the 1990 death of his half-sister's boyfriend, Dag Drollet. Christian got out of prison in 1996.

In 2005, Christian pled guilty to abusing his then-wife. Deborah Presley (who claims she's Elvis' illegitimate daughter).

17. The real story here is Deborah Presley. Did anyone think to match her DNA to Lisa Marie? If they are related, it will show. As for the murderer...[crickets]

22. Marlon Brando was one of the most over-rated actors of the 20th century and a bloated ego-driven moron who left behind a tragic legacy of unhappy offspring, drama and death. He never should have had children. What a d@ckhead!

23. I always wondered if it was true Courtney Love was related to Marlon Brando..apparently her mom was his illegitimate child and that would make Courtney the grandchild...makes sense when you think about it!

25. Don;t let Robert Blake take you out to dinner. The ICU is safer.

26. He's a killer so I don't care if he dies. I hope he's in pain too!

27. I think he killed his sister's boyfriend because of domestic violence issues, that's why he only did five years.
