You Thought You Knew Kevin Federline... But You Don't

from Talk Is Jericho · host Chris Jericho

Kevin Federline joins to talk about his new memoir You Thought You Knew, and explains why it took years (and his kids’ approval) before he felt ready to write the book, and set the record straight. Kevin talks about working as a dancer with Michael Jackson, including unforgettable behind-the-scenes stories from the You Rock My World video, rehearsing to a click track, MJ’s perfectionism, and seeing the King of Pop’s playful side off camera (with Marlon Brando). He also shares stories from touring with Pink and LFO, life on the road as a young dancer, and the pressure of performing night after night in front of massive crowds. He discusses meeting Britney Spears, how quickly their relationship exploded into global chaos, and what it was really like being married to one of the most famous people in the world at the height of paparazzi culture. Kevin speaks candidly about the media narrative surrounding him, the impact on his mental health, the breakdown of their marriage, and how everything ultimately changed once kids were involved. He also relives his surprising and successful run in WWE, including getting nuclear heat from the crowd, working with John Cena, earning Vince McMahon’s trust, and discovering just how brutal the wrestling business really is both physically and mentally.
