He changed his name many times, deceived everyone he met, distanced
himself from his parents and reinvented himself as an Irish baron.
This is ‘Faking It’, the astonishing true story of author Mandy
Moore’s relative Brian Leese. Brian began as an ordinary
schoolboy from London, became a Mormon in Salt Lake City, married
an Indian princess in Ischia, Italy, had bisexual affairs and
partied in Rome with European royalty and famous writers. After
divorcing, he married a Finnish heiress, living a life of luxury in
an Irish mansion, all the while lying about his education,
upbringing and parentage, and portraying himself as an Irish baron.
He wrote books on Irish genealogy, architecture and history but his
life was funded by horseracing crime, Nazis in the Bahamas, and
American mobsters.
