With his autobiography coming up, Andre Agassi is coming clean about his past. Andre is the eighth-time Grand Slam champion, one of the best in his field of tennis. In his interview with People magazine, he admitted to a lot of things, including using crystal meth in the earlier years. However, the drug result was disregarded after he said that his intake was accidental.

Passages from his book also revealed that he had worn a hairpiece during the 1990 French Open and almost fell during one of his game. Also seen in the book are details about his ex-wife Brooke Shields’s admiration for his current wife Steffi Graf. It was stated there that Shields would put photos of Steffi on the refrigerator to inspire her to work out before their wedding.

Agassi also wrote about his past with Shields. He said they dated just after Christmas in 1993 and connected by talking about their assertive parents. He also became very jealous in the set of “Friends” where Shields once became a guest. He walked out after seeing Shields lick her co-stat Matt LeBlanc’s hands.

What troubled him the most was the camera around him. He had to wear a hairpiece before for fear of mockery and criticisms. “Win or lose, they wouldn’t talk about my game. They’d only talk about my hair. I can close my eyes and almost hear it. And I know I can’t take it.”
