Trivia
Toby Young, the man around whom the film is based, was banned from the set, as he was reportedly annoying cast members, and interrupting Robert B. Weide as he tried to direct scenes
The scene where Sidney (Simon Pegg) asks an actor “Are you gay?” is based on Toby Young doing the same to Nathan Lane regarding his role in The Birdcage (1996).
Simon Pegg was approached to play the role of Young back in 2004 for a stage version, but this conflicted with the shooting of Shaun of the Dead (2004).
