"Yes. Look at my face. Your dad is greatness," said Usain Bolt.
Along with this, in the same interview, the Jamaican also opened up about experiencing stardom and his fans' support.
"I was walking out the tunnel, and then you heard people start chanting, 'Bolt, Bolt.' It was a shock to my system. I figured it out, and if I do good, they're going to love me. If I do bad, it's going to be an issue. I'm the one who set the bar where it is now."
Despite his cheeky answer to his kids, Usain Bolt once revealed in an interview with PEOPLE magazine that he would happily support his children in all their endeavors.
Usain Bolt made his feelings known about his kids' careers
Usain Bolt is a father to three kids, including a daughter, Olympia Lightning Bolt, and two sons, Saint Leo Bolt and Thunder Bolt. In a 2021 interview with PEOPLE magazine, the Jamaican opened up about his plans for his kids' futures. He revealed that he is more than ready to support them if they choose to explore a career outside of sports.
"I'm sure they're going to be tall, I can tell. When they get their checkup, they're like, 'Wow. They're really growing. They're going to be tall.' So, I know that much, but for me, anything they want to do, I'm just going to support them. That's always a key thing: Just support your child in whatever they want to do. So if they don't want to run, if they don't want to do sports, I'm okay with it," said Usain Bolt.
The Olympic champion usually shares adorable updates with his family on social media. From sharing glimpses of their Christmas celebration to building Legos together to showcasing the quality time they spend together at home, he shares everything online.
