Apart from being the Fastest Man in the world with an unbeaten record, Usain Bolt wanted to be many other things. Notably, a spy like James Bond was on the list.

In an interview with The Guardian, Usain Bolt surprised fans with an intriguing insight from his childhood. He revealed that as a young boy, not only did he love watching James Bond, but spent the next day at school pretending to be a spy himself.

James Bolt or Usain Bond?

Bolt was raised in a traditional Jamaican household in a small town in northwest Jamaica. However, even at the mere age of 14, he won his first high school medal, and by 15, he was the youngest ever World Junior Championships gold medalist. 

“Every Sunday we would eat, chill out and watch movies as a family. I loved Bond. The first one I saw was Tomorrow Never Dies. I’d get back to school on Monday and everybody would be talking about the gadgets… and we’d all want to be spies,” said Bolt.
