Michael Owen reveals he has now watched THIRTEEN films in his life after being trolled for admitting he had only seen eight movies
The 37-year-old BT Sport pundit named them as Rocky, Heat, Ghost, Jurassic Park, Cool Runnings, Seabiscuit, Karate Kid and Forrest Gump
MICHAEL OWEN has revealed he has now watched a staggering THIRTEEN films in his life.
The Liverpool legend was hilariously trolled three-years-ago for admitting he had only seen eight movies.
The 37-year-old BT Sport pundit named them as Rocky, Heat, Ghost, Jurassic Park, Cool Runnings, Seabiscuit, Karate Kid and Forrest Gump.
NOT PICKED YOUR FANTASY FOOTBALL TEAM YET? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
But in an incredible turn of events, he has told how he has now watched Creed and the four Rocky sequels.
However, Owen also revealed how he did not actually like any of the flicks he has been "forced" to watch.
He told Shortlist magazine: "I just can't get into them. I don't like to be kidded.
"Rocky IV's my favourite film. Didn't like Rocky I, it's rubbish.
"I thought Jurassic Park was quite good, actually.
“I had to watch it twice in the space of 10 days, though. I was at Liverpool but my dad wanted me to try out different clubs.
"I went for a training week at Arsenal and they took all the kids to the cinema to watch Jurassic Park. The next week, I had a trial at Manchester United and they did exactly the same thing. It was painful.”
The biggest shock in Owen's list is his critique of Cool Runnings.
On the feel-good cult classic, he added: "I was in Hell, having to pretend I liked it."
Ex-England striker Owen is yet to confirm his views on Seabiscuit, Karate Kid and Forrest Gump.
But the often-injured ace should at least be a fan of a film about a man overcoming dodgy legs to run accross an entire continent.
