    Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson and Jamie Foxx in Talks on Possible Biopic

    Mike Tyson says he's met with Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx about collaborating on a possible biopic on his life.

    ''Me and Jamie Foxx have been talking and he's willing to take that role and portray me as Mike Tyson, doing my life story,'' the former heavyweight boxing champion said Friday during a conference call to promote an upcoming Toronto date for his one-man show, ''Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth.''

    ''I think he's splendid because he's really up to par. I think he would do a magnificent job.''

    Further brainstorming of the project will ''happen very shortly,'' he added.

    ''I saw him the other night and we discussed it,'' Tyson said. ''He doesn't have the physicality but he will. He's able to ... get bulky, so he's capable of doing it in the future.''

            Jamie Foxx can play ANYBODY, I think he would be excellent as Mike Tyson plus he is a Boxing Fan

            He would have to BULK UP A LOT though

                    Just picked up his autobiography in the airport the other day, and I would recommend it to everyone. Would be very interesting to see it play out in a film, especially if it is as raw as the book.
