In a tell-all interview with Sir Michael Parkinson, Ian Thorpe apparently doesnt leave anything out including questions about his sexuality.

Channel Ten says Thorpe agreed that nothing should be off-limits for the television interview, which will explore his career successes as well as the hard times the famous swimmer has endured.

Parkinson said in a statement from the Ten network that its an interview hes been looking forward to doing for quite some time.

Ian Thorpe has always been near the top of my list to interview. The reasons are obvious. Not many athletes can claim to be the best of all time. Ian can, says the renowned British journalist.

Parkinson says Thorpes story of success and struggle is a very interesting one.

What fascinates me most about Ian is that, apart from the very beginning of his career, he never seemed to enjoy and celebrate his success.

The story of a boy who was a teenage world champion, conquered the world and then seemed to give it all away is a fascinating and intriguing one.
