Biography
He was born in Dublin, Ireland during World War II. As his father was an engineer, he decided to seek work in the rebuilding of London, and moved Gambon and his seamstress mother moved to Mornington Crescent, north London, when he was 5. Unbeknownst to Michael, his father would take out official papers for him, making him a British citizen - a fact that would later allow him to be awarded a CBE and a knighthood http://www.tiscali.co.uk/entertainment/film/biographies/michael_gambon_biog.html
Raised a strict Roman Catholic, he attended Jesuit St Aloysius Boys' School in Somers Town and served on the altar. He then moved to St Aloysius' College in Hornsey Lane, Highgate, London - former pupils included Peter Sellers. He left later for a school in Kent, before leaving with no qualifications at 15. After leaving school he gained an apprentice from Vickers Armstrong as a toolmaker. By 21 he had become a fully qualified engineer. He kept the job for a further year - leaving him with a fascination and passion for collecting antique guns, clocks and watches, as well as classic cars.
