Having solidified his title as the Fastest Man on the Planet during last month’s Olympics, Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt is no stranger to challenges.
Bolt has had his fair share of race requests, both serious inquiries and harmless joking. Complex Sports recently asked the 9-time Olympic champion about these race solicitations. Of course we were surprised when Bolt revealed a bizarre story involving 64-year old actor Mickey Rourke.
People all the time. People all the time. But the only person that was the biggest thing was Mickey Rourke. He challenged me to a race and I thought he was joking he’s like “let’s go!” In the streets at like 3 in the morning, he took his shoes off and everything. Like for 20 meters.
We don’t know what’s more weird: Rourke taking his shoes off to race the Sprint King, or the fact that it happened at 3 a.m.
