“I Want to Show People”- Usain Bolt Once Explained the Root Cause of Creating Famous Documentary ‘I Am Bolt”

There is only so much you can know about a person by watching them from a distance. People often misunderstand athletes and celebrities for the same reason. Therefore, when the Jamaican legend Usain Bolt went through a similar crisis, he showed people his true self. He further revealed the reason behind creating the infamous documentary ‘I am Bolt.’

It’s been five years since Usain Bolt bid farewell to track at the 2017 world championships in London. However, he is still the fastest man on earth. Perhaps it will take more than just running to surpass one of the greatest sprinters of all time.

Why did Usain Bolt need a documentary?

Well, for starters, he is a legend, and the world deserves to know his story. Though, the reason Bolt gave is different.

In an interview, he revealed, “One of the things that made me really want to do this was people always saying: ‘Aw, this is not really who he is. He’s not always laughing. It’s not always fun for him’…”

However, contrary to people’s opinion, he further added, “This is who I am. I really wanted to show people this is who I am. I like to have fun. I like to chill. I like to go out. That’s just a part of me. The part that people don’t see, that’s the part I want to show people behind the scenes, the hard work.”

The real Bolt

The sole purpose of the documentary was to let fans and haters know who Usain Bolt is in reality. Obviously, winning three gold medals in the same event at three consecutive Olympics is an extraordinary achievement, but besides that, he is a pretty chill guy. He is a free-spirited human being who is extremely hardworking and runs very fast.

Perhaps the people who think he is not fun should watch the documentary after all.
