So cool meeting Canadian icon Donovan Bailey, former 100m sprint world record holder and gold medal winner at the 1996 Olympics!
In support of Clint Eastwood’s new Film Richard Jewell, he recalls his experience with the security guard who saved thousands of lives from an exploding bomb. Paul Walter Hauser (I, Tonya) is gaining major buzz for his performance as the titular character.
