Gordon is the only person in the world who can have full hair, no beard or mustaches and still look 50 at 19

Gordon picked his haircut at 19 and said yup can’t get any better than this. To this day hasn’t changed it. Love it

A true testament to how stressful working in a kitchen is, Gordon Ramsay looked like a 40 year old man since he was 19

Even at 19 Gordon looked like a stressed 40yr old chef

His facial structure never changed really but what actually stands out is obviously his "silence" and that's just respect.

Gordon learned and listened closely before he started yelling at others. What a student.

It’s so strange seeing Gordon be so quiet 😂

this kid has potential. might be a decent chef someday.

I like how silent he was. He was a sponge absorbing everything and he only talked the talk later when he could walk the walk.

Gordon really has always looked like a 50 year old, even at 19

The student became the teacher

It’s so weird hearing Gordon say “yes chef” lol

Some people may think it’s crazy that we have a video like this of such a young Gordon. This is about the chef Marco. Gordon just happened to be one of his most famous students captured on camera.

Dude Ramsay looks like he didn't want to disappoint him at any cost so determined

he's dead silent. absorbing everything.

Bear in mind Marco Pierre White was only 24 years old at the time of this video, and he already was a michelin-starred chef

You can clearly see how in the zone Gordon is with him. Like automatic movements and muscle memory. He clearly bought in to his teaching. Even in other trades you see these changes and characteristics with future leaders during their training. As a manger in my field I love this when it starts to take shape.

I started out at 19 years old working as a commis chef at Zafferano, when Giorgio Locatelli was the head chef. This was after chef school in Italy. After two years of chef work at the Michelin Star restaurant I went back to college in London and eventually became an artist. Chef life was like being in the military. Far less creative than I had hoped it would be. Way too stressful, but some aspects were quite satisfying.

Love the image of Gordon looking so stressed cooking over the stove. He's really put his heart and soul into cooking and done the very very hard work to become great. He teaches from a place of hard-fought experience.

This is exactly why chefs respect Gordon Ramsay, he's paid his dues working in a kitchen learning and absorbing
