Foxx, who won an award for his portrayal of soul legend Ray Charles in the flick ‘Ray’, admitted that he would love to portray Mike in a flick. This is probably inspired by the new documentary “Tyson” that premiered last month. The documentary was produced by Ex MTV VJ & Charm School Host La La Vazquez ’s production company KROSSOVER (which she runs with her fiance, Carmelo Anthony).

Jamie Foxx says, “I think I would have to play Mike Tyson. I’ve talked to Mike several times and his story is the most tragic American story… 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,” Foxx added.

Foxx says he is working on securing a deal to create his “dream” movie. “I’m working on securing the rights to the movie,” Foxx said.

Come to think of it, didn’t Jamie Foxx do a parody of Mike Tyson on In Living Color back in the day! LOL HILARIOUS!
