A long-time CIA employee has revealed that movie stars are sometimes used as spies to gather information.
John Rizzo, who was a lawyer for the intelligence agency for 33 years, has written a tell-all book called Company Man: Thirty Years of Controversy and Crisis in the CIA.
In it, he claims that celebrities make great spies , saying that their power and international celebrity can be valuable, News.com.au reported.
In the book, which has just been released, Rizzo recounts the time a high-profile actor approached the agency to offer up his services, but there was a slight catch.
In a meeting with the actor’s agency handler, Rizzo was told that the actor refuses to take any money, but instead wanted them to score the best 50,000-dollar stash of cocaine they could find.
The answer was no, but the actor agreed to help out the CIA anyway. (ANI)
