Stephen Hawking has revealed in a new documentary based on his life that falling in love gave him something to live for and gave him the desire to make the most of each and every minute.
The documentary film, which will feature Hawking telling the extraordinary tale of overcoming severe disability to become the most famous living scientist, is going to premiere in Britain.
The trailer features the 71-year-old physicist saying that the film is a personal journey through his life, News.com.au reported.
Hawkins said that he has lived five decades longer than doctors predicted and has tried to make good use of his time.
The film tells in Hawking’s own words and those of his family and friends, the story about a bright student with a fondness for partying becoming a pre-eminent physicist.
The documentary goes back to the physicist’s childhood and his student days before the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis began to attack the nerves.
The ALS took control of his voluntary movement, confined him to a wheelchair, as he was forced him to speak through a machine.
The 90-minute documentary follows him as he travels around the world giving lectures about space and time, refusing to give in to the disease which has locked his mind inside his body.
