John McEnroe: Annoyed By Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol still has his devoted fans — but don't count John McEnroe among them!

The tennis legend calls the prolific painter “mediocre” and “annoying” in his upcoming memoir, "But Seriously." “He was always there at every party I was ever at, taking your picture late at night, even when you were super f-ed up," recalled McEnroe. "I remember thinking, ‘Who is this weirdo with the fake hair? Why is he waving his camera around when we’re here at three in the morning? Isn’t there a place that could be off-limits?”

McEnroe gripes in his book that Warhol, who was notorious for taking Polaroids of anyone with a certain level of fame, interfered with his sex life at late-night parties — saying the artist “always seemed to be up in everyone’s face with his camera, being a pain in the ass.” "Everyone all of a sudden is going, ‘He’s one of the world’s greatest, unbelievable. . .’ I’m like, ‘He is?’ ,”  added McEnroe.

Although he had no regard for Warhol's ability on canvas, the SuperBrat bid $30,000 at a 1986 charity auction to have the artist paint a pair of portraits of himself and ex-wife Tatum O’Neal which he sold over twenty years later for over $400,000 at a charity auction.

The grand-slam champion also dishes that he could never get past the velvet rope at the famed "Studio 54" nightclub in New York City — even while he was winning tennis titles around the world! "The doormen would be like, ‘So? McEnroe, get the hell out of here!’ In fact, I don’t think they even knew my name — my memory has added that in the hope of making me feel better,” wrote McEnroe.
