Errol Flynn’s Son Chose A Very Different Career – Then One Day He Mysteriously Vanished

At 28 years old, Sean Flynn was a dead ringer for his famous father, Errol. But instead of a life of glamor and fame, he chose to pursue an altogether more gritty career. Armed with his camera, he ventured into brutal war zones around the world – until one day he didn’t return.

By the time that Flynn was born, his father was one of the biggest names in Hollywood. And as the boy grew, Errol’s star continued to rise. Today, he is remembered for his major roles in movies such as The Adventures of Robin Hood and Captain Blood. But not many are aware that his legacy also included a tragic twist.

As a young man, Flynn had looked set to follow in his father’s footsteps with a glittering career as a leading man. But over time, he grew to abhor the fame attached to his family name. And where Errol starred in adventures on the silver screen, his son decided to pursue them in real life instead.

With his father’s good looks, Flynn must have cut a dashing figure as he darted through war zones, snapping photographs for publication in the international press. Through his work, readers around the world were exposed to the realities of conflicts across the globe, including countries such as Israel, Cambodia and Vietnam. But eventually, his sense of adventure would lead him towards a tragic fate.

As a teenager Flynn penned an emotional letter to his mother, expressing his regret that circumstances had kept them apart. And yet just 12 years later they would be separated for good when the photojournalist vanished without a trace. So what exactly happened to the intrepid son of Hollywood’s golden boy?
