Usain Bolt is a fan of Guinness and says Jamaica is a “hot Ireland”, while Ireland is like a “cold Jamaica.”

The legendary runner – who holds eight Olympic gold medals and is widely considered to be the greatest sprinter of all time – made the comments to the director of a new film about Irishness, called Quintessentially Irish.
