Gordon Ramsay shares nine-month-old son's first words, says he's taken after his foul-mouthed self
Gordon Ramsay is notorious for his foul-mouthed rants and tirades directed at budding chefs who barely manage to live up to his exacting standards. But this time, the 53-year-old renowned chef revealed to Perth Now how his nine-month-old son Oscar seemed to have followed in his footsteps.
Ramsay quipped how the toddler uttered his first words during a recent meal -- and they were colorful, to say the least.
"He did his first solids, but he spat them out within three seconds," Gordon told the outlet. "It was butternut squash puree. And you can sort of lip read, and Tana my wife was cooking. And I think the words that came out of his mouth was 'f***ing disgusting!'"
The Hell's Kitchen star was quick to blame his wife Tana for Oscar's scathing review. The duo also has Megan, 22, twins Holly and Jack, 20, and Matilda, 18, together. "He knows that there is only one chef in the house and that is me,” he said.
When it comes to following Ramsay's footsteps into a cooking career, the Scottish born chef is firm that none of his five children will have any special privileges. Instead, he'd rather they trained with a different chef altogether. "I don't want the staff thinking, 'F***, it's Ramsay's kid, we can't tell them off',” he told Access Hollywood. "You want to work in this business? You f*** off to another chef, learn something different and come back with something new to improve the business."
Ramsay recently revealed how nervous he was when he witnessed his wife Tana -- whom he married in 1996 -- give birth to Oscar, especially after he hadn't been present for her previous deliveries. "Tana didn't want to see me there for previous births,” he said. “She said 'I don't want you to see me in this state so get out’."
"This time around, I was there and I absolutely c****** my pants," he recalled. "I fainted. I literally dropped on the floor. I was sat there and Oscar popped out through the sunroof and then they sort of throw you on him and he's screaming and I fell back, the nurse grabbed me."
