Early life and education of Chuck Lorre

Chuck Lorre was born Charles Michael Levine on October 18, 1952 in New York to a Jewish family from his father. Robert Levine and mother Miriam Levine . He is of white ethnicity and has American nationality.

After graduating from high school, Lorre enrolled at the State University of New York at Potsdam, dropping out after two years to be a successful songwriter. During his college days, Lorre “majored in rock ‘n’ roll and marijuana with a minor in LSD.”

Lorre also admitted to binge drinking to EW. He said,

”he led a dissolute youth until he was 47”.

Chuck Lorre changed his last name to Lorre when he was 26 years old, explaining:

The reason why I changed my name was simple. My mother, never a fan of my father’s family, had the unfortunate habit of using Levine as a stinging insult. When she was upset with me, she used to say/scream: ‘Do you know what you are? You are a Levin! A bad, rotten Levine! ”. So, for as long as I can remember, every time he heard my last name, he would experience acute feelings of low self-esteem. My first wife was the one who suggested. I thought it sounded great. Chuck Lore. Finally, a name that didn’t make me squirm. It did not occur to me that in England my new name would translate to Chuck Truck. But the most interesting thing is that I had completely forgotten that when I was around eight years old my father’s business began to fail, forcing my mother to find a job in a clothing store called… Lorie’s. Pretty creepy, huh? Did I abandon my father’s name only to unconsciously name myself after a place associated with my mother’s abandonment? Or, even more chilling, did my ex-wife somehow know all of this and come up with the name Lorre just to piss me off? Hmmmm. I wasn’t a good, rotten husband, so I certainly expected that.
