In his documentary named Shane, the Australian legend had opened up on his troubled marriage. In the film, he revealed how he drank alone in a hotel room, when Callahan left him and took their children with her. 

"I think that was the lowest. The impact on my children, they wouldn’t get to see me and that was my fault…I would go back and raid the mini bar," Warne had said.
