Eventually, Nairn realized his true calling as a performer — as a drag queen named Revvlon, a nightclub DJ and an actor.
“We are thrilled to publish the first memoir to go behind-the-scenes ofGame of Thrones, but just as compelling is Kristian himself,” says Mary Ann Naples, VP and Publisher of Hachette Books in a statement. “His story is singular yet relatable, inspiring but harrowing, and loaded with good humor — not to mention dance music. The team at Hachette embraced it immediately.”

Game of Thronesfans will be delighted to read more about Nairn’s experience with the beloved series, whosefinale aired in 2019, such as how he was initially reluctant to meet with the show’s producers. Nairn will also delve into the bonds the actors developed on set and the impact of fame.
In addition toGame of Thrones, Nairn is known for his roles in movies such asMythical: The GodslayerandThe Appearance, as well as television shows likeThe RookieandOur Flag Means Death. He also continues to make music, as he has for the past two decades, and has been dubbed as one of the most “prolific” house DJs in Ireland, according to a statement.
Nairn hopes that his memoir will reach an even larger audience — those who are also looking for a place to call their own.

“I see the early part of my life, as a child, trying to squeeze a round wooden block into a square hole,” he continues. “With time, I learned how to make myself fit into my own life and find my place in the world. If this book even helps one person, it was worth it.”
