Jamie Foxx to Play Mike Tyson
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008
Jamie Foxx is set to play Mike Tyson in an upcoming film based on the life of the infamous fighter.
Tyson has planned the movie for some time and has already signed Foxx up for the role.
Tyson says, “Jamie Foxx and I will be working together. He will play me in the film about my life. We already talked about it several times.”
Tyson claims he is finally clean and sober after a lifetime of drug and alcohol abuse.
He says, “Even when I was training for a fight, there were no drugs, but I would drink. I had never been clean and sober my whole life. This is the first time. I’m tired of losing. I lost the trust of my family, my five kids. I didn’t like that way of life and decided to change. I saw the devil and didn’t want that.”
