The stepson of Chuckie O'Brien, played in the film by Jesse Plemons, writes that Martin Scorsese's TheIrishman is the 'capstone to my stepfather’s 44-year humiliation'
on Friday, the stepson of Chuckie O'Brien — the foster son of Jimmy Hoffa who is portrayed in Martin Scorsese's— is calling the movie "by far the greatest depiction of the false charge against my stepfather."In Hoffa’s Shadow: A Stepfather, a Disappearance in Detroit, and My Search for the Truth
, writes about the toll that misinformation took on O'Brien, now 86 years old and living in Boca Raton, Fla. tracks the life of Teamsters official Frank Sheeran and his relationship with Hoffa , as well as his involvement in Hoffa's 1975 disappearance and supposed confession to his murder.
Played by Jesse Plemons, O'Brien is seen in the Netflix movie as driving Hoffa and Sheeran to a Detroit-area home, where Sheeran shoots and kills Hoffa. Goldsmith writes that "the movie is high fiction. 'One of the greatest fake movies I ever saw,' Chuckie told me." He also notes that O'Brien is upset that the role he played in Hoffa's life— as a bodyguard and confidant— was portrayed in the movie as being Sheeran's.
According to Goldsmith, after seeing the movie, O'Brien told him: "I’d like to get hold of that Scorsese and choke him like a chicken. And then after I get through with him, I’d grab that other pipsqueak, the guy who played the Irishman." Goldsmith adds, "Chuckie is too frail for this to be a threat, and indeed he clearly did not mean it as a threat.
