This week on The Hashtag Show, Scott Gibson welcomes Billy Boyd, aka Silibil, whose remarkable life story inspired California Schemin', the directorial debut of Hollywood actor James McAvoy.

It's a story that sounds like it could only have been invented for the big screen. But behind the film, the headlines and the extraordinary journey is a real person with a fascinating story to tell.

Billy joins Scott for a conversation about the experiences that shaped his life, the strange reality of seeing his story transformed into a feature film, and the journey of putting it all down on paper.

🎙️ IN THIS EPISODE:

🎬 CALIFORNIA SCHEMIN' — The incredible true story that inspired James McAvoy's directorial debut.

📖 THE BOOK — Billy discusses telling his story in his own words and taking it on the road.

🎤 A LOVE OF RAP MUSIC — The music, culture and passion that helped shape his journey.

🌍 FINDING AN ANCHOR TO REALITY — Why staying grounded matters, particularly when life takes you somewhere you never expected.

❤️ THE MAN BEHIND THE STORY — Looking beyond the film and discovering the person at the centre of it all.

From extraordinary ambition to the importance of keeping your feet on the ground, this is a conversation about music, identity, perspective and the sometimes unbelievable directions life can take.

There are plenty of laughs along the way, but there's also a fascinating human story underneath it all.

BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE TRUTH REALLY IS STRANGER THAN FICTION.
