Surprising moments from 'Being Gordon Ramsay'

"Being Gordon Ramsay" follows the chef as he attempts to open four restaurants and a culinary academy at 22 Bishopsgate in London, while also tracing his turbulent upbringing, rise to fame, and life with his wife Tana and their six children.

The series reveals small surprises about his past: he says he would have preferred to be named Scott—"Scott's a lot better than fucking Gordon"—and recounts growing up poor after his family moved to Stratford-upon-Avon. His mother worked three jobs, his father struggled with alcoholism, and Ramsay says his younger brother has "been an addict for four decades." "I'm not embarrassed of my past," he adds.

"I got dealt a dysfunctional card, big fucking deal.
