Jesse James 'Sandra Bullock made me insecure'

Jesse James has blamed his low self-esteem for ruining his marriage to Hollywood star Sandra Bullock.

The motoring enthusiast and mechanic split from Oscar winner Sandra last year after admitting to having an affair.

But Jesse, who has just published his autobiography, says the split was down to more than just his cheating and that he never felt worthy of his famous wife.

“It was more about me than about her,” he explains.

“It was the problems I had to work out myself. It was a weird life. There was a lot of stuff with her (Sandra) and I was never like, ‘Hey, I’m a pretty successful businessman.’ I was always afraid I was about to lose the shop and afraid not to work seven days a week. I just wasn’t healthy. I could never relax.”

James recently insisted he has forgiven himself for cheating on Bullock.

“I never got one negative comment, not from anyone. The only people who said negative stuff to me were the paparazzi and they were being paid to. The media portrayed it as this huge negative thing but if anything, I got more support from everybody else, because, yes, I cheated on my wife but so do a lot of other people,” he said.

“Does that mean I’m the devil? Or that I’m Satan? I don’t think so. I made a mistake and I’m sorry for it but I owned up to it. I didn’t lie or do any kind of BS. I did it, I made a mistake and I owned up to it and took it like a man and took all the abuse for it, which nobody does.”

When asked if he had forgiven himself, he replied, “Oh yeah. I’m cool.”
