Gordon Ramsay Displays Sensitivity and Softness as a Father to Five Children
Gordon Ramsay, the host of “Kitchen Nightmares,” constructed his culinary empire with biting criticism and obscene language. However, he concedes that at home, his five children “put me in my place.”
Gordon Ramsay showcases a sensitive side rarely revealed on television. Trying to capture a smile, he inadvertently upsets 4-year-old Oscar by taking away his sandwich in a fatherly moment.
Describing the breakdown as “he flipped his s—,” Ramsay, 56, quickly shifts to dad mode, making funny expressions, offering a new sandwich or Lifesavers from his pocket.
This performance reveals a different side of the chef compared to his negative behavior on Fox’s Hell’s Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares.
Gordon Ramsay talked about his loved ones
During filming, Ramsay, Tana, and Oscar frequently visit their Los Angeles home. The family’s primary residence is in the London borough of Wandsworth. Ramsay notes, “The three of us are always together, and that upsets the other four.” He adds, “Hey, you’ve had your time with Mom and Dad; Oscar time has come.” After they separate, Tana mentions, “Gordon likes to phone about 25 times a day.”
During his appearance on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” last year, Ramsay provided insight into his parenting philosophy. He disclosed a practical joke he played on Byron, the intermittent boyfriend of his daughter Megan.
Naturally, family dinners are filled with lively conversation and delicious cuisine, typically prepared by Tana. Ramsay jokingly says, “The kids always say my food’s too posh.” As the children have grown older and embraced activities like biking, hiking, and swimming, Ramsay recognizes the importance of listening.
