‘These are the stories of some of the things that have happened to me: the funny things, the scary things, the exciting things; the things that have made me who I am. I don’t want to start at the beginning and tell them in chronological order because that’s not the way my brain works. And this certainly isn’t going to be one of those books of life lessons . . .
‘I’ve always been passionate about finding and telling stories. And now, for the first time, here are mine.’
Famous for his portrayal of TV hardman Grant Mitchell and as the maker of documentaries exploring the most dangerous people and places on the planet, BAFTA-winning Ross Kemp is one of the UK’s best known TV stars. Here, Ross shares tales from his remarkable life.
From his childhood in Essex, where he used to pretend the woods behind his house were the Amazon rainforest, to finding himself travelling through the real thing thirty years later, Ross’s life has taken many twists and turns. Through it all there’s been no plan, no roadmap, no strategy. Ross has gone from one wild adventure to the next, and never quite felt like he’s fitted in anywhere.
From getting lost at sea to setting a sacred island on fire, auditioning for his part on EastEnders to filming in active war zones across the world, these are the heart-warming, hilarious and hard-hitting stories of some of the unexpected adventures that have happened along the way.
Warm, energetic and endlessly entertaining, it is a fascinating snapshot of a life lived to the full.

Good book and great read.

this is a great book, its funny and moving all at the same time
by Amazon Customer
From the opening chapter I was hooked. This is not a conventionally written autobiography in chronological order, but rather a collection of events in Ross’s life, cleverly linked which kept me not only interested, but wanting to read on. I’ve not come across many books which tap in to so many of my emotions in close proximity, from laughing, to being moved and shocked by some of the experiences Ross shares. With humility, he tells stories from both his personal life and professional career, which show sides to Ross you will want to know more about.
Highly recommended.

Was brought for a big fan of Ross kemp but I’m a little disappointed on how it’d arrived . Looks a little like I brought it second hand not brand new ????
