Christos Callow: For four days cleaning toilets, I stayed in solitary confinement

Financial difficulties forced his mother to leave him in an orphanage for a few years. Years very difficult, as the well-known actor described. He spent four years in the orphanage, “I don’t want to describe waiting for you to see your mother for two hours, five to seven, it was tragic conditions,” Christos Callow told On Time Weekend. What was the problem you faced at the scene? That I was off the circuit, from a position. I happened not to have two parents, my mother at first was unable to live me, I had to spend some years at the orphanage. When you pass the “military” at an early age, at five, six, seven, you are soon manned. My father lived in England. My mother was a postal worker and then, if you had married a Britishman, you lost Greek citizenship. When this changed, he rejoined the post office, and we were able to live. I went to high school in Kallithea, had classmate Gregory Valtinus. How many years did you stay at the orphanage? I stayed four years. I don’t want to describe waiting for you to see your mother for two hours, five to seven, it was tragic. Teachers of that time thought that to conform a child, they would have to beat him with a vista. I’ve been hit, there were such conditions. I remember I went to eat peas and I saw a hair… there was no way I could eat. For this reason, for four days I had to clean all the toilets in the orphanage, leave the double room and stay in isolation. There was punishment. This was from six to nine years old.
