Jaime Foxx is really all about the biopics. First he was Ray Charles, then he was Nathaniel Ayers in The Soloist and now he is aggressively pushing to play Mike Tyson in a full biopic. Tyson’s recent doc Tyson has been getting great critical acclaim and has heated up Hollywood talk that it deserves the full biopic treatment. Foxx wants to be that man:
“Mike’s story is about what America and the world is about today…Coming up at 18-years-old and getting his $60 million and not teaching him what taxes are about, about vultures, about people who will never be real with you as long as you have the money.
“I’m working on securing the rights to the movie,” he recently told WENN.
WoooHa will keep you updated on the latest of the Tyson biopic development. With a little bulking up and some gap-tooth special FX he could fit right in there.
They would need a powerhouse actor like Jaime Foxx to play him but he would need to gain about 30 pounds of pure muscle – at least you know he could pull off the voice with his imiations
after seeing jamie do ray charles, and him taking serious roles like jarhead
i think he can pull it off

I dont like Jaime Foxx but I think he could pull it off
A tyson biopic done right would be huge but who would play robin givens?
A Tyson movie would be huge – but who would play Robin Givens?
I think Kellita Smith could do a good Robin Givens on screen.
I think Jamie will make a perfect Mike Tyson.. We’ve seen what he could do being funny while trying to play him so seeing Mike’s serious side will be a real treat.
