Tom Kummer is still considered to be the king of faked interviews and his specialty was Hollywood. He met Sharon Stone, Sean Penn and Bruce Willis for long, sincere talks – which all turned out to have been invented. For four years, until he was exposed, Kummer supplied reputable publications in Germany and Switzerland with his stories.
Today, he earns his living as a tennis coach in Los Angeles. Kummer tricked everyone: the media, the celebrities – and possibly, even himself. A movie on the wasted life of a major talent – and on the question of truth.
