Andy Murray: ‘I never feel comfortable’ Tennis star makes startling admission
Andy Murray: Resurfacing gives fans of the Wimbledon champion a glimpse into his life over the past two years. Following on from some harrowing discoveries about his physical health, Andy was left with no other option but to suffer a hip operation. This was just the beginning of his journey, as things quickly went from bad to worse.
Express.co.uk recently caught up with Andy to discuss this documentary on his life, where he explained why he wanted to bring cameras into his everyday life and document how he came back from his lowest point in life.
It was alarming, then, to hear Andy confess, despite the cameras surrounding him, he doesn’t “feel comfortable” in front of them.
On being filmed during his harrowing rehab process Andy revealed: “The thing was that, as time went on, by that stage we’d been filming for a year.
“Also, I trusted Olivia [Cappuccini, director of the film] as well – and that makes a huge difference.”
He went on to add: “I don’t like having cameras around. I never feel comfortable in front of the cameras.
“I hate watching myself on TV, [I] don’t like watching myself play tennis either, really. Don’t really watch my matches back much either.
“But because I trusted her [Cappuccini], I was able to, kind of, open up and be myself in front of the cameras as best I could be.”
Andy then confessed he hadn’t yet seen the documentary based on his life, and called it “quite difficult to watch”.
Despite this, it was in fact Andy who initially approached Cappuccini about making this documentary.
When pressed on why he did this, he explained: “Basically I’d been out for like six months before I’d had my first operation in Australia.
“I thought I was going to have my operation and be back playing in, kind of, four months – which was what I was told was going to happen.
“And yeah, it turned to something completely different because the operation didn’t work, my hip was really painful for a really long time.
