#Roommates, word on the street is a new biopic about Mike Tysons life is in the works and Jamie Foxx will be playing the legendary boxer.
According to The Sun, the news was finally confirmed by Mike Tyson himself, saying: Its on, as of right now. Jamie Foxx has signed on for it. Filming hasnt started yet but its going to happen. Mike also spilled a little tea, admitting he thinks people will find the movie uncomfortable. He also added: A lot of people arent going to like the things Ive done in my life.
Though Mike Tyson is most known for being a dominant force in the ring, hes definitely had his fair share of scandals. The boxer served a 6-year prison sentence for a rape conviction back in 1992, and upon making a comeback he infamously bit off fellow boxer Evander Holyfields ear. The Sun also confirms, Jamies been in the gym with a boxing trainer to really be able to mimic Mikes signature moves.
Along with Jamies involvement, its also rumored that legendary director Martin Scorsese will be directing the biopic. #Roommates, the only thing left to know is.. are you here for the biopic?
