It’s a long way from behind enemy lines in Iraq to Hollywood pool parties but that’s the journey made by veteran SAS sergeant Steven Mitchell - better known by his pseudonym Andy McNab. And it was all thanks to Robert De Niro reading his book while bored on a film set.
“De Niro read Bravo Two Zero while he was shooting something in Australia and said to [Heat director] Michael Mann: ‘Can we see if this guy wants to come over? He seems to know what he’s talking about’,” recalls McNab. “A recommendation from De Niro - it doesn’t get much better than that.”
