Jamie Foxx reportedly playing Mike Tyson in movie about his life

Variety reports that Jamie Foxx is attached to star in a movie about the life of Mike Tyson, the boxer who went from feared heavyweight champion to just feared, as a three-year prison term for rape somehow marked just the beginning of a tumultuous life in and out of the ring, until Tyson at last learned the modern way of capitalizing on being a trainwreck. Foxx’s attachment to the project was first leaked by Tyson himself, who told The Daily Mirror (via The Guardian) that Foxx would portray him at different ages with the help of CGI. “Now they have this new animation—because you know Jamie’s pretty much my age so he can’t portray me but they have this new system,” Tyson said, suggesting technology has certainly come a long way since Foxx played Carl “The Tooth” Williams on In Living Color.
