Mentioned in about 1 hour of the film. John E Du Pont (hereafter collectively referred to as DuPont) says his only friend growing up was Hubert Cherrie, and when he was 16, he found out that his mother gave Hubert money to be his friend.
My friend is this Hubert's son.
I have a good relationship with this person, a colleague, and we occasionally have fun together in our spare time. His dad is a friend of Dupont's and he's in the Foxcatcher movie he told me at least 5 times, only recently found the movie to watch.
The fact is different from what is said in the movie, DuPont's mother never gave his father Hubert money to be DuPont's friend. She had this plan, but never gave it.
Hubert is an athlete, played rugby for 4 years in a good college and also wrestled, Dupont's interest in wrestling also came from Hubert, but without Hubert's talent, Hubert wrestled in college and later became a wrestling coach, mine This colleague, Hubert's son, also went to college on a wrestling scholarship.
When my colleague was very young (he should be born in the 60s), their family was still very close to the Dupont family, and his grandfather (Hubert's father) used to be a local Sheriff (the film is about the police, slightly different ), and later drove the Dupont mother. But then DuPont's behavior was a little strange. The grandfather and father of my colleague told their children not to approach Crazy John (as they called DuPont), and several brothers of my colleague had a lot of contact with DuPont, but he was still young at that time and was not impressed.
A colleague said that when he was young, his father asked him what kind of person he wanted to be. The colleague said that he wanted to be a rich man. His father said you look at DuPont. Rich people are not happy.
Given that my buddy never tires of telling me these things, and that his dad (Hubert Cherrie) is all over the internet, it's not much of a privacy thing. Putting it up is not a film review, just a little gossip around it, and I will share it with you.
