“The premiere is brilliant and I just want to thank you guys for coming out and I really appreciate that,” said Bolt, dapperly dressed as he made his appearance on the red carpet.I Am Bolt had been in production for 18 months and essentially followed Bolt as he prepared to defend his three Olympic sprint titles in Rio, Brazil, which he did successfully.
“Most people’s concept of me is that ‘Oh Usain, it’s easy for Usain, there’s no stress. But it’s not,” he added.
“I could feel all emotions throughout everything, like I was reliving my life again when I was watching that,” Bolt explained.
He continued: “That’s what I wanted people to see, the struggles, the pain, the triumph, the stress that I’ve been through and then have more insight also on my life.”
Bolt, who was born in Sherwood district of Trelawny, revealed how uncomfortable it was at first having cameras behind the scenes in his day-to-day life. more
