With the new documentary Tyson getting great reviews, a biopic on the infamous boxer Mike Tyson could be in the works.
Jamie Foxx is willing and eager to portray Tyson if a film gets the green light.
“I think I would have to play Mike Tyson. I’ve talked to Mike several times and his story is the most tragic American story,” the singer told WENN this week.
“Mike’s story is about what America and the world is about today…Coming up at 18-years-old and getting his $60 million and not teaching him what taxes are about, about vultures, about people who will never be real with you as long as you have the money.”
With this goal in mind, Foxx has already started making moves.
“I’m working on securing the rights to the movie,” he added.
