Gordon Ramsay Gets Brutally Honest with Jason Fox | Men's Health UK

When you're interviewing someone with the stature and presence of Gordon Ramsay, you need an interviewer who can match that intensity. That's why Special Forces veteran, and adventurer Jason Fox was the perfect choice to sit down with the world-renowned chef and ultra-endurance athlete. Together, they discussed how fitness has shaped their lives, the importance of pushing beyond comfort zones, and strategies for overcoming adversity.
In this in-depth conversation, they delve into Gordon Ramsay's notorious bike crash and the potential path his life could have taken had he followed in the footsteps of his brother Ronnie, whose life has been marred by heroin addiction and substance abuse. They also explore how Gordon manages to maintain such a demanding lifestyle at 57, especially with a six-month-old baby in tow.

Foxy seems a great fella, always liked him

Old school gent for sure

Two absolute beasts who as a man in my 40’s, I don’t dread getting older looking at these. Still out there slinging.

[@inspectorclouseau3880]

Gordon has always had an incredible energy level and drive. He's kept himself fit and it proves even at his age you can keep on top of your game

[@Jay-ew8in]

21 months sober at 41 and now training 5 days a week every week. Biggest life hack is quit drinking at no point is it good

[@TimHughes-dduk]

Love this! I'm 3 months sober and never going back. Getting after it in the gym 5/6 days a week. Also 43. Good for you mate. Keep killing it 💪🏻

I love Ramsey! Thank you for all that you share with us!

[@Bravactkins]

You've just changed my life forever.. thank u

[@MrG77]

Foxy is special forces so of course he is a beast. But i have watched a lot of Gordon doing triathlons, swimming and he even done the Royal Marines assault course and done training with the US marines. Gordon is certified bad ass.🙏

[@ShinjitsuKK]

I worked in pub kitchens from 15-17 and at that age being around full time drinkers it really put me off being a chef. I went into the trades and karate. Now I'm 43, i teach Japanese mma, karate and help run a maintenance company. Getting out of washing dishes and cutting vegetables was the best thing I ever did 👍

[@Time2paytheman]

Foxy is a good interviewer, doesn't interrupt

[@RickC-oo1hm]

Not true, I'm also 57, ex RM, work shifts, still train to the max.

[@Axispaw1]

@@RickC-oo1hm yeah but you're ex RM ie always been fit. Ramsey was fat and drank a lot most of his life, as well as other substances. You can't just flip that in your late 30s/early 40s, work 12 hours a day while eating as little as his does and have that energy at almost 60. No way.

[@stewartfooter3580]

Foxy is the goat

[@tdtm82]

It's not possible for everyone and you need talant and awareness and ability. I have his book signed which is excellent. Huge fan of his shows. He's 100% entirely right about the gratitude on his shows being completely underwhelming.

[@davidlynch9049]

Ramsay started in kitchens when he was a teenager. Do you think he thought about talent? No. He simply worked his arse off and learned. You can too.

[@tdtm82]

@@davidlynch9049 Not everyone can work as a chef. It takes talent, ability and luck with press recognition and constant customers. Most businesses fail. Not everyone knows how the techniques are for prep. It's not about working your arse off it's a number of factors. I know someone who run the best cheese steak restaurant in the states, my Italian mate went around Philly too, came back to me & said this place was better, but it bleeds money & it failed. I have Di George's syndrome and a high arch on my foot and it's impossible for me to be a chef. I'm Dyspraxic so I suffer with coordination issues. Not everyone can do it.

[@stuartsmith-hutchon8356]

Bloody brilliant

[@benedictwallis5820]

Would love to see Gordon do a clean eating video of what he has or some ideas of healthy, lean food made a bit more exciting 👌

[@Jackielong-sighted7890]

One there's no such thing as "clean eating" which is an idea that promotes eating disorders and two he's been cooking food like that for twenty years now.

Jason, where is that t-shirt from please?

That's a Thru Dark tee. I didn't rate their gear when I bought some a few years back. It was badly sized and pretty cheaply made. Their customer service was awful too.

Shame it was an echoey room Men's Health? Echo is not good for Sound. Great Camera work, but why a large room? Microphones above needed to be closer to the speakers.

[@SwaghettiYoloneses]

I can not express from being super fit to falling off the wagon and being super fit again. Absolutely essential people get themselves fit. You don't need to be the best. Just strive for improvement and find what you enjoy.

[@Leewoods123]

You’re supposed to go around potholes Gordon, not through them 🤦‍♂️

[@kmontague8544]

[@CSRunner7]

They do seem genuine and decent but a couple of times I had to do a double take and remind myself it wasn’t some sort of alpha male spoof! Even down to the outfits. You could so imagine this being taken off in a parody sketch.

No this is ramsay trying to impress a special forces guy you are a clown

@@BareKnuckle666 you talk Hella 💩💩💩 because cruise has run his own production for 32 years now, is a producer on multiple films every year, he manages hundreds of millions of dollars of his own prime real estate just in the small portions of rich America alone, starts his days with weightlifting, running, climbing, fencing, martial arts, plans his meals perfectly, has meetings all day back to back, script meetings, rehearsals and still tends to his production related activities, he's either acting, producing, directing or overseeing stunts often all four. Regularly does stunts involving piloting of which he's at a professional level, rock climbing the same and he's a professional level driver who does high speed chases. Manages family time and his own personal time. Stop chatting Hella shit and sit down because there's a reason tom cruise is worth well over $600 million dollars and add to that Gordon is in awe of the man and praises his professionalism, work ethic and his physical health.

Interesting but narcissist

[@ellieguinan5083]

Not sure he is that now. He does not seem to have an excessive of his own self importance, at least not now. an ego yes, but unless you are Mother Thersea, nobody excels without some ego. One may not like him, but he has had achievements as an entrepreneur and as a chef. And has worked incredibly hard to so so, is family centred and owns his own failures.
