Mike Tyson has transitioned to Hollywood ever since he took a step back from his professional boxing career. Retiring from sports, he was seen acting alongside big stars like Sylvester Stallone, which meant he was doing well in the industry. Even though he has served amazing cameos, he still has concerns over his acting career.
The Baddest Man on the Planet has recently confessed his true feelings about his acting career while talking to his guest in his famous podcast, Hotboxin’ With Mike Tyson.
Mike Tyson Got Candid About His Acting Career
Mike Tyson is a well-recognized personality in sports due to his baddie charm that cannot be overlooked. Due to the same, he was able to get an opportunity to work in Hollywood. Having worked alongside many legendary actors like Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone, his presence in the acting world was quite established.
But it is still not enough to impress himself as he is still exploring the entertainment world. In last December’s episode of his podcast, Hotboxin’ With Mike Tyson, he revealed his thoughts on venturing into the acting field while talking to rapper-actor, Ice Cube.
He shared at the time,
“I have to do my own movie with my own care. I can’t do that s**t, can’t do Hollywood. It’s not working.”
He revealed his statement when they were discussing Cube’s struggle in the acting industry. Cube is well acquainted with the acting world, which is why he advised him to fight, otherwise, he might end up working for some sort of propaganda.
Mike Tyson to Share His Story in Animated Format
While his personal life has been nothing but full of ups and downs, his life story was set to be featured on-screen. But it came in quite an unexpected way possible as the actor slammed streaming service Hulu for showing off his life moments without acquiring his consent.
To make things right, he is set to release a biopic which will be directed by Antoine Fuqua, and produced by Martin Scorsese. Last year, he revealed about wanting his story to be told in cartoon form.
He told guest comedian Katt Williams on his show,
“I was telling my wife we should tell my story in cartoon form.”
Though it shocked the comedian, it was not much of a surprise for his avid fans who are well aware of the fact that he likes to try new things. Making a biopic of his own in animated format will bring out a new version of him. Mike Tyson has already lent his voice to various animated projects, including Family Guy.
