Ronnie O'Sullivan documentary: Rocket shares exciting new details after unprecedented access

Ronnie O’Sullivan is hoping for his fly-on-the-wall documentary will be received by fans in a similar fashion to the widely praised ‘Last Dance’ of Michael Jordan.

‘The Rocket’ revealed he had been mic’d up for the documentary for the entirety of this year’s World Snooker Championships.

O’Sullivan defeated Judd Trump 18–13 in the final of the Championship to deliver his seventh world title at the Crucible-equalling the record held by Scotsman Stephen Hendry.

Michael Jordan’s documentary is one of the ‘must see’ Netflix shows. The 10-episode drama captured the final season of Jordan’s illustrious career as he led the Chicago Bulls to the NBA title before subsequently retiring.

O’Sullivan has had a camera crew following his every move for 7–8 months. They have followed his morning routine of running on the treadmill to being present in his locker room.

O’Sullivan said, per a report in The Sun:

“What I can tell you is I’ve given them complete access to the point of where if you could put a fly-on-the-wall and follow me for 17 days here, that’s basically what’s happened.

They’ve been in my dressing room, in my hotel room, before and after matches, after sessions.”

Some people may crumble under the pressure of being watched 24/7, and some may argue that his antics during matches may be for the show to help heighten the intrigue around the documentary.

However, anyone who has watched Ronnie over the years will know his persona, he is an entertainer, and the show will certainly be gold dust. The fact he has won the World Championship similar to Jordan and the Bulls winning the NBA certainly adds to the drama.

The Rocket is a seven time world snooker champion. Ronnie O'Sullivan is to snooker what Roger Federer is to tennis, or
