Popbitch Blind Item - Starsuckers

There’s a scene in the 2009 documentary Starsuckers where director Chris Atkins covertly filmed Max Clifford talking about the many services he’s provided to celebrity clients over the years.

As Atkins is currently in jail (and Clifford is currently somewhere between jail and the ground) we should maybe take this as an omen not to get involved, but: there’s one section where Clifford boasts about how, for ten years, he was retained by a famous A-list actor.

This actor’s particular thing was (in Clifford’s words) “groping and whatever in the back row of a cinema where his movies are on”.

So Clifford would see to it that every seat in the cinema surrounding this actor would be filled with his own people, so as to keep any back-row ‘incidents’ contained.

The actor’s name was redacted in the documentary – but anyone who thought it was inappropriate for John Oliver to bring the topic up at a recent Q&A screening may wish to reconsider that position.
