There's some fascinating people on this planet, and one of them goes by the name of Chris Knight Capone. He's the grandson of the late notorious gangster Al Capone. One good thing to know is that Chris is not a cold blooded gangster, however he has definitely inherited his grampa's Bearish good looks. Very cute!

What's new is that site ChrisCapone.com has underwent a complete overhaul. Tons of links so that you can get to know Chris' world a bit better. Make sure to check out the Media section as there are a small slew of photos and I'm sure you'll agree with me that Chris is one seriously handsome Bear after you see them. And a Bear he is ~ he's into men and not shy to admit it. I also believe he's single, but I'm not 100% about that. There's also some videos of this husky gangster. I guarantee you that Chris will put a smile on your face after watching his videos.

Need some more Chris Capone? Then check out this article that I posted back in December. It's somewhat of a book review of his 'Son of Scarface' memoirs he wrote, and there's also 50 pics.

Chris Capone has been working real hard on his new blog site entitled ChrisCapone.com. It is the 'great gangster's blog' all the while being 'gangster fabulous'. You see, Chris Capone is the grandson of the notorious gangster Al Capone.

Chris discovered his legacy at the age of 13 and he put it all down in his book 'Son of Scarface' (website - article with more photos of Chris). And what's really interesting for us is that Chris is a really super cute looking Bear.

I asked Chris what his blog was about and he responded that it's a little of everything and anything. His topics range from the current political debate to talking about what's going on in the entertainment world, all the while interjecting his own opinions and insights. The site is updated all the time so it's definitely something you need to check out, sometimes even twice a day.

Also, I know that Chris is working on something TV related although the cat is not completely out of the bag yet. It's either a reality-like show involving Chris or it might have something to do with Chris being the head of a mob group. Once I know more, I'll pass the news on.

Put on your headphones and enjoy the latest BearPodCast (website - articles) hosted by Nard (profile) and his Bearish buddy Ray (profile).

In this episode (#215 - listen here ~ right-click to save), they get to interview Chris Knight Capone (blog - article), the Bearish grandson of Al Capone. They talk about his book 'Son of Scarface' (website). It's a fun interview and Chris is this seriously handsome Bear ~ and they even mention in the show that Chris resembles Al Capone, especially when he wears a fedora and suit.

Some other things to note are that Chris is opening up a new site soon - ChrisCapone.com - and that there is a documentary movie coming out that focuses on Chris and interviews with people who knew his father, the son of Capone, as well as Capone himself. It's all there in the podcast.

His name is Chris Knight Capone and at a very young age, he discovered something most of us would be too freaked out to even imagine. He found out that he is the grandson of the notorious gangster Al Capone, also known as Scarface.

Chris has written a book about all this called Son of Scarface: A Memoir by the Grandson of Al Capone. Check out the great website SonofScarface.com for more info about the book, a bio of the author and some scrapbook photos. You can get to know Chris a little better by checking out his blog, and here's a great article about Son of Scarface on Wikipedia. From Wiki: "Son of Scarface is the true story of a 13-year-old who discovers at his own elusive father’s funeral that his grandfather was none other than the infamous Chicago gangster, Al Capone (aka Scarface).

The autobiography by Chris W. Knight (Chris Knight Capone) chronicles the author's broken childhood as he tries to uncover family secrets that his abusive mother violently forbids him and his sister from pursuing. In this stranger-than-fiction story, Chris Knight Capone is not allowed to have any friends or to even to leave the family compound as a child.

Only as an adult is Chris Knight Capone able to uncover the dark secrets of his grandfather Al Capone and of his own father, William Knight, a man who had a fraudulent birth certificate and lived under an assumed identity.

After years of meticulous research, the help of private investigators, genealogical research, and a courage to face the truth of his own identity, Chris Knight Capone confirmed that he was in fact the offspring of the world’s most notorious gangster".

And... what's completely interesting about all this is that this very handsome and debonair Chris Knight is a Bear. He will be at Bear Trek this upcoming weekend (May 1st thru the 4th), an even held by the Bear Albany group of New York. Chris will be presenting a one hour Q&A session about his book and his life as the grandson of Al Capone and he will be selling autographed copies of his book at Bear Trek and donating the proceeds to the Bear Life Fund to benefit charity.

Here are some pics of Chris. I repeat... very handsome. He definitely inherited Al Capone's looks.
