Behind The Scenes Series

“Now, I know this is nothing like your usual role – but hey, who wants to be typecast?” My agent, Lawrence, laughed slightly hysterically and I instantly knew that he was up to something. He was holding the script in his hand, tantalisingly in view but still out of reach unless I made a grab for it, which, I’m not gonna lie, I wasn’t above doing... Gerard has been acting for years; he makes decent money and he's comfortable enough to be able to pick and choose his roles. Jason is an up-and-coming actor who's just starting out in the business. He's been tipped to be the next big thing and as much as Gerard admires the guy, he can't help feeling a little intimidated by working with him. What he doesn't expect is to find that Jason is one of the nicest guys he's ever met. He's funny and smart and truly beautiful inside and out. Jason can't believe his luck. He's going to be acting alongside his all time favourite actor and secret celebrity crush. The fact that they're going to have to kiss and make out in the movie makes it all the more exciting for him - if a little terrifying. As much as he's always admired him - he didn't expect for their friendship to become a bromance - or is it more than that? Are they actually falling in love in real life too?

I never for one minute thought the guy would take advantage of me in the worst way possible - but I was wrong.

My best friend just told me that Patrick Woods, one of the biggest producers in the industry, drugged and raped him in a hotel room.
