LOS ANGELES, May 23 — The soon-to-be-divorced husband of Sandra Bullock says he is probably the “most hated man in the world” for having cheated on the popular actress.

A tearful Jesse James, giving his first TV interview since the March split with Bullock, took the blame for the break-up of what had seemed a happy marriage.

“I took a pretty amazing life and amazing success and marriage....and threw it away by my own hands,” the custom motorcycle maker told ABC News show “Nightline”, according to excerpts released on Friday.

James, 41, admitted cheating on his wife of five years. According to media reports, he had affairs with at least four women — one of them while Bullock was away last year filming what would be her Oscar-winning role in drama “The Blind Side.”

Bullock, 45, had given emotional speeches at the Oscars and other Hollywood awards shows thanking James for his support.

Bullock, the star of romantic comedies “The Proposal” and “Miss Congeniality”, left their southern California home when the cheating allegations broke in the media in March, just days after she won her first Oscar.

She has since filed for divorce, despite revealing that the couple had adopted a baby together in January. She told People magazine in an April interview that she would raise the baby alone.

Asked by “Nightline” interviewer Vicki Mabrey whether he was “the most hated man in America” — as some US celebrity magazines have labelled him for cheating on Bullock — James replied: “I think ‘the most hated man in the world’ now.”

The interview with James will be broadcast on “Good Morning America” on May 25 and on “Nightline” later that day. — Reuters
