Sandro Monetti is the ultimate Hollywood insider—a British-born journalist, host, and creative force based in Los Angeles, where he’s captivated audiences on platforms from CNN International and the BBC to BAFTA and the West End. Known for his sharp wit and insider access, Sandro has interviewed A-list icons like George Clooney, Madonna, Al Pacino, and Paul McCartney, earning him a reputation as the go-to commentator for the glitz and grit of Tinseltown.
As the former Managing Editor of the Los Angeles Business Journal and Editor-in-Chief of Hollywood International Filmmaker Magazine, Sandro blends rigorous journalism with pop culture savvy. He co-created and teaches the world’s first BA degree in Celebrity Journalism and currently serves as COO (and President of Development) at Big Screen Entertainment Group, where he helps program streaming channels and build creative content strategies.
Sandro’s creative pursuits extend beyond reporting—he’s a playwright and director behind acclaimed productions like “Marilyn & Sinatra” and his one-man show “Clooney, Cowell, Pitt and Me,” both of which have enjoyed success in London’s West End and Off-Broadway stages. He’s also a best-selling author of biographies on Colin Firth and Mickey Rourke, plus his witty memoir Confessions of a Hollywood Insider—a collection of behind-the-scenes celebrity stories gone wildly human.
