He also led the Cleveland Browns to the NFL championship in 1964, before retiring from the game in his prime. Post his footballing career, Brown ventured into the world of Hollywood. As an actor, he appeared in more than 30 films. Including Any Given Sunday and The Dirty Dozen. He also became a notable figure in the Black Power Movement during the civil rights movement of the 60s. Brown then dedicated the latter half of his life to curbing gang violence in Los Angeles. 

We offer our deepest condolences to Jim Brown’s family and friends during this tough time. Our thoughts and prayers are always with them.
