Born on January 5, 1969 in Canton, Ohio, United States, Marilyn Manson is an actor, autobiographer and painter. That puts Marilyn Manson at 57 years old in 2026. Education on record includes GlenOak High School and Broward College.
My Take
The stage name alone, fusing America's sweetheart with its most infamous criminal, is a thesis statement, and I have always read Manson as a conceptual artist who happened to use rock music as his medium. Brian Warner built a character designed to expose the hypocrisies of the culture that condemned him, and his commitment to that persona across albums, paintings, film roles, and an autobiography is genuinely rare. He is also a deeply polarizing figure: in 2021 Evan Rachel Wood accused him of abuse, which he denied, and in 2023 he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor simple assault over blowing his nose on a videographer. Any honest assessment has to hold the art and the controversies in separate hands. As pure provocation-as-craft, though, few have done it with more rigor.
