KINGSTON, Jamaica — The much-anticipated world premiere of Usain Bolt’s movie, I Am Bolt, is underway in London and the sprint legend has described the production as “brilliant”.I am Bolt has been in production for over a year and essentially follows Usain Bolt as he prepared to defend his three Olympic sprint titles in Rio, Brazil, which he did successfully.

“The premier is brilliant and I just want to thank you guys for coming out and I really appreciate that,” said Bolt, dapperly dressed in a tailored suit as he made his appearance on the red carpet at the Odeon Leicester Square cinema.

The biopic of the greatest sprinter of all time hit the theatres today and Bolt revealed how uncomfortably it was at first having cameras behind the scenes in his day-to-day life.

“Initially it was weird but when I start[ed] to get to know Ben and Gabe Turner (producers), the guys, the team, everybody just became like a family and it became fun and it wasn’t as stressful as it started out,” said Bolt.

“So it was good and easy and they made it easy and made me much more relaxed because they are good people,” he added.

“When Gabe came to me he told me listen to me if you want him to make good movie you have to give him good stuff. So I said [that] was all right. You know what, so I just gave him as much as possible about my life and I let them in my life and made it comfortable,” Bolt pointed out.

Bolt, who won an unprecedented three gold medals at three consecutive Olympic Games, said it was fun reliving the races in the movie.

“It was great I went back through all the emotions again over and over. So for me that was brilliant and they did really great and came through for me and they made a great movie and I really appreciate that,” said Bolt.
