Agassi Confesses All on 60 Minutes

Andre Agassi gave a tell all interview on 60 minutes. He revealed a lot. More than anyone could possibly imagine.

1. He hated Tennis. "I don't ever remember not hating it."
2. His father felt school was unnecessary.
3. His image was a facade as his hair loss began at age 17.
4. He wore hair weaves which distracted him in play.
   
5. He lived in fear people would learn he lost his hair.
6. 1994 French Open, his hair piece fell apart in the shower and his brother bobby pinned it back in place leaving him in mortal fear it would fall off in the tournament.
7. In 1995 his then wife Brooke Shields convinced him it was time to shave his head.
8. He turned to drugs out of apathy for life and became a crystal meth addict.
9. Felt he was in a marriage he shouldn't be in with Brooke Shields.
10. Started his career over on his own terms.
    

Agassi seemed to have lived a charmed life, but it was a life he lived for his family and not himself which ultimately cost him his own personal happiness.

It took fortitude for him to make changes in his life. From giving up his addiction to leaving Brooke Shields. Some will argue that his leaving Brooke made him a jerk, but he meant only the best for her and knew staying together was wrong for them both.

Ultimately Andre Agassi has done what many celebrities never do. He told everything before the press found out. He told the truth and he told it without making excuses.
