He may hold the title as the fastest man in the world, but even Usain Bolt gets nervous once in a while, especially when it comes to meeting beautiful women. Speaking to Lorraine Kelly on Friday morning, the nine-time Olympic gold medallist revealed that he has a crush on none other than Beyoncé.
The sporting legend revealed his celebrity crush live on Lorraine
"Because I was always a fan, I've always had a crush on Beyoncé, so I've always had a conversation I would have [in my head] and when I met her I was like [stares open-eyed] 'hi'," he told the day time host. "I could tell I was looking at her weird because she was looking at me like, 'why is he staring at me'. It was fun though."
President Obama also has an affect on the 30-year-old, who admitted: "When I met Obama that was also massive for me."
Usain was on Lorraine to chat about his new documentary I Am Bolt, which follows the sporting legend in the 18 months leading up to his historical Olympic triple win in Rio this year.

Talking about his training, Usain revealed: "People always say, 'you make it look so easy, I could probably do it' and I'm like, 'no, no'. So to make people see the work that I put in and the strain that goes in, mentally and physically. I wanted people to see all of that so they could understand me better and to see the work I put in is no joke."
The Olympic champion also shut down rumours that he was engaged to his main crush, girlfriend of two years, Kasi Bennett, following a heavily hinted Snapchat image of the couple on holiday. The sweet snap was accompanied by the caption "She said yes", complete with emojis of a bride and a love heart.

"I'm not engaged. Me and my girlfriend, we went on a trip to Bora Bora and we took a picture and somebody edited my Snapchat, and edited it, and it said, 'she said yes' with a ring and a mad face and stuff and I was like [shocked face], it was well done though. It was well done, you know what I mean," he explained.
Despite there being no talk of wedding bells anytime soon, it hasn't stopped Usain's mum from hoping she will be a grandmother in the near future. "My mum is pressuring me. I was like, 'mum just let me retire and I'll get there,'" he said.
