The chef answered, “High performance is about relentlessness, in my mind.
And I’m done with that bulls*** about, ‘Stay in your lane.’
I want to own my lane, and that’s high performance.”
Here’s the tragic real-life story of Gordon Ramsay.
Gordon Ramsay grew up around domestic abuse
Gordon Ramsay was born in 1966 in Glasgow, Scotland.
At the age of nine, his family relocated to Stratford-upon-Avon, England.
He also endured his father’s drunken abuse throughout his childhood.
“Then I got my bad injury.
I tore my ligaments, and it was a heart-ache.
I still remember [the coach] telling me they were letting me go.
He was f***ing ruthless.
I couldn’t swallow it, I was gutted.
F***ing gutted.
I can remember coming back downstairs and thinking ‘F***ing hell.’
And worst of all I still had to tell my dad,” he wrote.
He completed his degree in hotel management a couple years later and embarked on his cooking career.
In May 2003, Dempsey fell 40 feet from a window ledge after breaking into an apartment.
In October 2017, Ramsay toldThe Sun, “I wouldn’t wish that on anybody.
I physically broke down.
I couldn’t go behind that glass screen and identify a guy that I loved dearly.
It took years to get over that.”
“I saw cocaine quite a lot in my career.
I’ve been asked to dust cocaine on top of souffles, to put it on as icing sugar.
It’s spiraling out of control.
I felt sick as a f***ing dog in there.
But it’s not a nice experience in there.”
I think it’s about the environment you’re in.
In February 2007, Ramsay’s brother was arrested in Indonesia for possession of 100 milligrams of heroin.
A couple years later, Ronnie was spotted back in England living unhoused.
He told theDaily Mailat the time that his brother refused to help him.

He explained, “I thought I was a goner.
They say cats have nine lives.
I’ve had 12 already and I don’t know how many more I’ll have.
I remember thinking, ‘Oh f***.’
My boots and my waterproofs were dragging me down.'
I’m an extremely good swimmer, but I couldn’t get to the surface.
I was panicking and my lungs were filling with water.”

Despite the public humiliation, he and Tana managed to work through the drama and have remained inseparable since.
However, little did they know that her dad Chris Hutcheson was conspiring against them.
Ramsay’s father-in-law was sentenced in June 2017 to six months behind bars.
In October 2017, Ramsay surprisingly toldThe Heraldthat he and his wife had already forgiven Hutcheson.
It was a hard pill for her to swallow.
Knowing her father was out to destroy us as a family.
But she’s had it out with him.
He’s laid his cards on the table.
“We had a devastating weekend as Tana has sadly miscarried our son at five months.
Whilechefs tend to make a decent wage, celebrities like Gordon Ramsay obviously rake in even more.
That doesn’t mean that he didn’t feel the impacts of the COVID-19 lockdown though.
I’m in it.”
“I’ve just come off two weeks on crutches, as I had meniscus surgery.
I [hurt myself] running up the hill in Richmond Park, bolting up it.
It was f***ing painful.
I’d never heard that word in relation to me before,” the chef explained.
“He told me I needed to start slowing down.
I am slightly scared of stopping but do know I will have to slow down at some stage.”
The group of around 60 people reportedly barricaded themselves inside the chef’s pub and boarded up the windows.
It would take 10 days to clear them out.
