Just Like Prince Harry, Millionaire Hollywood Fame Also Tried to Cheat Usain Bolt During Showdown; Faced the World?s Fastest Superhuman Power

Usain Bolt has the reputation of the Fastest Man Alive, and he?s been known by that moniker since 2009. It?s not surprising that many people want to know what it?s like to race against Bolt. But it seems it got so out of hand that Bolt couldn?t go anywhere without racing people, as he stated back in 2012.

He has raced against many kids to indulge their whims, grown adults, celebrities, and even royalty at one point. Once, he even had a late-night race in the streets against Mickey Rourke.

Usain Bolt talks about racing against Mickey Rourke

Bolt appeared on The Jonathan Ross Show back in 2012. He talked about how everywhere he goes, people believe they can be the one to beat the fastest man in the world.??Everybody’s like, ?I think I can [beat you],???Bolt said.??I was like, ?Why do you think that????

One of these races was against Mickey Rourke. The 69-year-old actor and former boxer happened upon?Bolt?outside a club in London. Though inebriated, he challenged Bolt to a race, about 20-30 meters, on the street. Bolt found the experience fun and even claimed Rourke cheated.

?He cheated, though,??Bolt told Ross.??On your mark, set, and he was gone.??Bolt agreed that Rourke didn?t pose as much of a challenge and beat him despite the head start. What?s interesting, though, is Rourke has claimed to be the winner of their impromptu match.

According to Rourke, he had asked Bolt for the advantage before the race and came out the victor. He?narrated,??I got him to back up about four paces, we set off and I got him by a few inches.??With no footage or witnesses to the race, there?s no way of knowing who actually won. Though, it is hard to imagine Bolt in his prime losing to a man in his late 50s, way past his peak condition.

Bolt once went up against Prince Harry

When Prince Harry visited Jamaica in 2012, he had somewhat of a showdown with Bolt, too. The two men were standing on a race track at Bolt?s training ground, surrounded by cameras. The Prince pulled a coy move and diverted Bolt?s attention.

When Bolt was distracted, he sprinted down the track with a false start, and a laughing Bolt trailed behind. They even had a rerun, starting on the blocks and everything. In this race, Prince Harry still came out the winner as Bolt lightly jogged after the royal, letting him taste victory.

When Bolt called Prince Harry a cheater and demanded a rematch. He said,??He cheated, I said we would have a rematch in London 2012 and Harry said, ?I?m busy?.??With the world running after the legendary sprinter, let?s hope Bolt has found some peace now, a decade after these incidents.
