Jamie Foreman is one of Britain's most iconic actors. He is also
the son of Britain's most notorious gangster, Freddie Foreman.
Jamie's life has been anything but ordinary. Right from the start,
his world was one of contrast and contradiction: he grew up
surrounded by London's criminal elite, living by their code of
honour and respect, yet he himself was brought up to be a 'straight
goer'. The backdrop of his home life was to differ greatly from his
time at school as, at seven years old, Jamie found himself in the
unlikely surroundings of a boarding school. The happiness of his
family and school life was snatched from Jamie when his father was
sentenced to ten years in prison for his involvement in the killing
of Jack 'The Hat' McVitie. The subsequent years saw Jamie without
the father he adored and the whole family was put under enormous
strain. At 14, Jamie decided that his passion was for acting and,
having been encouraged by Barbara Windsor, he discovered yet
another new environment at the Italia Conti Stage School. Jamie
thrived in the acting world and was soon enjoying success on both
stage and screen. By the time of his dad's release from prison,
Jamie had carved a 'straight' career for himself - but after years
apart, there was plenty of lost time to make up for. Soon, he was
dividing his tme between acting and assisting with Freddie's
'business'. Whether on the streets or on the stage, there was never
a dull moment; Jamie was living life at 100 miles an hour and
loving it. Before long, though, life took a surprising turn when a
drug deal his father was heavily involved in went tragically wrong
and he was forced to go on the run to America with his dad, which
marked the start of a whole new adventure...In this gripping and
entertaining book, Jamie Foreman tells the fascinating story of his
unique life. From being babysat by the Kray Twins to his
life-changing meeting with Lawrence Olivier. It would be hard to
find anyone with a life story more diverse and intriguing than
Jamie. His is a compelling tale of a boy becoming a man, of a
father lost and found (and nearly lost again), and of the
adventure, violence and tenderness that forged an unbreakable
father-son relationship.
