Netflix An eye-opening new documentary has just been released Gordon RamsayAnd we’re taking an in-depth look at the man behind some of our favorite cooking shows. Being Gordon Ramsay follows the chef for six months as he prepares to open five different dining experiences inside 22 Bishopsgate in London.
At one point in the six-part series, he opened up about his upbringing and his family’s struggles with addiction. He began to cry while discussing the guilt he felt about his brother, Ronnie Ramsay.
Gordon Ramsay feels “guilt” about his brother’s heroin addiction
On the Netflix show, Gordon showed a rare moment of vulnerability while discussing his family. He comes from humble beginnings. He and his siblings moved around a lot, and their father was an alcoholic. It was his difficult childhood that forced him to struggle for such an illustrious culinary career. This is why he has been a constant presence on our TVs for the last two decades.
“There’s nothing else, I’ll be honest,” Gordon said. “So it motivates me, it puts fuel in my tank because I was so close to not making it. That’s what keeps me going.”
When pressed for more details, Gordon broke down. He started talking about his brother Ronnie and how their lives had turned out to be different despite starting out in the same place.
Gordon revealed, “I have a brother who is a heroin addict. We shared a bunk bed. He’s 15 months younger than me and he’s been a heroin addict for the last four decades.” “I went to hell and back with him, and so I have a feeling of guilt. It could have been me. It could have been changed.”
Tears streamed down Gordon’s face as he remembered his brother’s struggles. It is difficult for him to understand how different their lives have become.
Gordon reflected, “It’s not a cousin, it’s not a pub mate, it’s your brother.” “Born in the same house, grew up in the same bedroom, shared bunk beds, and so much alike…”
He added, “But how could it be so different now?”
After the heartbreaking confession, Gordon wiped away his tears and tried to lighten the mood. However, it was a rare moment of empathy from the man we usually see yelling at people on MasterChef and Hell’s Kitchen. After all there is a heart.
