This is one of those stories that I read about and don’t know quite how to react. Apparently one-time heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is talking again, which by itself is cause for concern. It’s what the retired boxer is saying that makes me wonder whether to laugh or cry.

WENN reports that Tyson is planning on being the subject of one of Hollywood’s numerous biopics. That shouldn’t be surprising. After all, with the speed and frequency studios grind out people’s life stories, it was only a matter of time before they got to Tyson. It’s Tyson’s claim that Academy nominated actor Jamie Foxx has been working with the boxer and plans to portray Tyson in the movie: "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."

Oooh, talked “several times”. Well, that’s almost certainly a binding contract, right? Sadly, if you think the news can be written off as just another one of Tyson’s drug induced fantasies, think again. The same repot says Tyson is drug free for the first time in his life.
