Andy Murray documentary maker admits tennis star’s life is just ‘ordinary’

As Adam Ant once asked: ‘Don’t drink, don’t smoke, what do you do?’ Not much else, it seems, if you are Andy Murray.
A clean image is great for his sponsors but it poses a big problem for the director of a fly-on-the-wall documentary given a year of exclusive access to the 26-year-old Scot.

Anyone hoping for John McEnroe-esque histrionics will be sorely disappointed. In fact, director Jo McCusker admits the super-disciplined Murray may offer little excitement for viewers.
She stopped short of confessing her forthcoming BBC1 documentary could have all the appeal of watching tramline paint dry.
But the most startling insight into Murray’s secret life appears to be that he enjoys tucking into sweets while sitting in an ice bath.
Oh, and he also struggles to consume his daily quota of 6,000 calories, despite a fondness for takeaway sushi.
Ms McCusker told the Radio Times: ‘You don’t see anything flash because he doesn’t do anything flash.
‘He doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke, doesn’t go out. And it all comes back to one word, mentioned by everyone we spoke to: ordinary.’
Andy Murray: The Man Behind The Racquet, will be shown on BBC1 later this month.
