CARLTON: The Final Say is available now from Amazon.
Thanks to his 2003 autobiography entitled Muscle, the readers among us learned a lot about Carlton Leach's life and the underworld muscle game. Those who aren't big on reading and subscribe to the mantra "I'll just wait for the movie" were brought up to speed about the hard-man's story in 2007, when Muscle was made into the cult classic British film, Rise of the Footsoldier.
A few years passed and fans of ROTF got an update about Carlton's edgy (and arguably insane) life, upon release of Rise of the Footsoldier 2 in 2015, but since then, where has the subject of these two award-winning British movies been, what's he been up to and who with?
Well, you're about to find out more! Declining almost all interviews, podcasts and public appearances for around 18 months, Carlton had decided to pen his thoughts throughout the pandemic; from the privacy of his Spanish home, he worked with writer Jason Allday via video links and encrypted calls to put as much of the groundwork together for what is said to be Carlton's last book. CARLTON: The Final Say not only reflects upon his childhood and the renowned 90s so as to fill in blanks that remain, but is also set to reveal to you, in an intimate fashion, what Carlton's life has been like over the last two decades...this book is sure to surprise many who have preconceptions of both his beliefs and his private life!
Offering so much more than just violence and crime, this book also delves into intimate details of Carlton's life...
Offering so much more than just violence and crime, this book also delves into intimate details of Carlton's life, from his east London up-bringing, including his 1960s and 70s schooling, the highs experienced over decades of partying in Ibiza, to the immense pain of watching his father fade and pass away, plus so much more in between. In this Amazon Best Seller, Carlton recalls the most extreme moments in his life that have yet to be discussed, from the most joyous to the excruciating. If that wasn't enough, the autobiography offers a rare opportunity to hear, not just from the man himself, but also from those closest to him; Carlton's family and inner-circle.
Carlton exclusively told BritFlicks:
"I could never have prepared myself for just how much I was going to laugh and cry...the difference in emotions experienced from chapter to chapter when I was putting the book together was an incredible journey in itself, and as reviews start to come in, I'm so pleased to learn that many readers have felt almost the same rollercoaster of emotion that I did. I'm noticing that people's favourite chapter is so varied, and via Twitter, I love that I get to hear from those who took the time to read my book.
"He added: "Brit Flicks is leading the way in championing British indie film and supporting up and coming movie makers, actors, writers and alike, so it's great to have this opportunity to speak directly to their audience. Keep up the good work!"
