Dive into the Magic of Entertainment!

We all cherish those moments of escape through films, music, books and theatre. Whether it’s the thrill of a blockbuster movie, the enchantment of a concert, or the drama of a stage play, entertainment fuels our imaginations and offers a much-needed break from daily life. Then there's the other side of the curtain: the people who create the content that amuses and enlightens us. Ever wondered what it’s like to step into the world of Oz, middle-Earth or Hogwarts? Or to live the supposedly glamorous life of a Hollywood star or a chart-topping musician?

For Entertainment Only takes you on an exclusive journey behind the scenes of the entertainment world. Follow the incredible story of one man who overcame his mundane suburban upbringing and gained access to the magical realms of Hollywood, Broadway, London’s West End, New Zealand and all around the world. From setting up his temporary office on the iconic sets of Rivendell from The Lord of the Rings, Cerebro from X-Men and Sir Leigh Teabing’s library from The Da Vinci Code, to traveling with the Royal Shakespeare Company, and witnessing a legendary rock band rehearse a future hit, he’s seen it all. And now, he invites you to join him on this extraordinary adventure.

In this captivating memoir, you’ll discover:
What it was like to be behind the scenes of Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings, King Kong, and The Hobbit.
The backstage rituals of The Grateful Dead before their electrifying performances.
The birth of punk rock in 1970s NYC.
How Madonna nearly vanished into obscurity when her debut album was overlooked.
Brad Pitt’s humble beginnings in Hollywood.
Ian McKellen’s transition from stage to screen and his near-miss with the role of Gandalf.
On and off-set experiences with Tom Hanks.

The challenges of securing Oscar nominations and wins.
Andy Serkis’s transformation from Gollum’s disguise to stardom.
The downfall of Harvey Weinstein, Bryan Singer and Kevin Spacey in the #MeToo era.
And that ain't all!
