Max's biography BRITAIN's No1 ART FORGER - THE LIFE OF A CHEEKY FAKER is out now... and coming soon... more news about the movie.
People like Max are a dying breed, the world would be a better place with more characters like Max.

I would watch a show based on Max in a heartbeat! The guy is a legend and has one of the craziest stories! I want a show on him so badly!
It annoys me how TV shows like The One Show have boring actors on all the time talking crap when they should have people like this guy on
Max's biography BRITAIN's No1 ART FORGER - THE LIFE OF A CHEEKY FAKER is out now... hopefully Max will be on daytime TV one day soon.
I love this guy! I'm so happy you got him back.

You are One in a million dad…..fantastic interview can’t wait for the film ❤️
His stories get more extravagant every time. lol
I wish this video got more attention. This guy is great. Same overall I wish this podcast could have more views, does such an amazing job of giving a different perspective on life.
Max story reminds of a book by Sidney Sheldon 'If Tomorrow Comes.' In the book you can't help but admire the thief. Max tells his story in such a fun way you want to go along for the ride.
Would love to go out for a drink with this guy and just listen to him talk

As important as it’s been that people who’ve been mistreated and abused are given their time, I love the last couple of videos.
I’d have no chance of making it in either of their industries (🍆/🖌️) and so it’s particularly fascinating to learn about their lives, and have a few laughs along the way.
Highly enjoyable. Thanks for (all) the videos. 🎉

Really enjoyed it, thank you.

If Max had been born into a middle class family he probably would be a famous artist. Art is mainly about class dictated by the upper class world. Max is spot on - letting the art "experts" think they are superior etc played to people's prejudices. You see this at art galleries where curators/directors dictate what can and can't be exhibited - even at small time galleries, and snobs prevail. Like all good scammers, Max is simply appealing to people's prejudices.
Love it! What a gent.

Random fun fact: Max was “nicked” as he liked to say..(“knicked”? How do british folks spell it?) more than any living (or formerly living) art forger in world history. Unlike masters like Hebborn or Tetro, he only went so far when it came to the use of original materials, most of the time he hid the works under glass and crossed his fingers (to this day, alot of pieces won’t even be taken out of the glass prior to sale, esp less-expensive pieces). Hebborn was never caught, Tetro did a few months in the can once as he forged a still-living artist who caught wind.
TLDR: Max was one of the worst forgers to come out of his era and is lucky to be doing relatively well 😐. I could have named more but for the sake of keeping this short, do your own research if at all interested.
He is so good at his work that I thought he faked his face
Max = Severus Snape + 20 yrs
Caravaggio reincarnated!

Not quite sure what that is! But... Max's biography BRITAIN's No1 ART FORGER - THE LIFE OF A CHEEKY FAKER is out now... and coming soon... more news about the movie.
yeah, i think it's a banksy
Is it the guy that fixes cars
Banksy has to be one of the most underrated guys out there
Nah he’s not underrated at all everyone knows him and loves his work and his stuff sells for hundred of thousands
World famous artist, Banksy, underrated you say?
underrated ? looool
Glad to see you're out of your cave
The krays won’t of been in the same gaff as frankie. Fraser they were enemy’s
Not always.
Why are you just getting all the same guests on that you’ve had before? So weird!
John myatt has a better story.
Brian Badonde? Booo
First thing I thought of
