“I was a mess. I was overweight. I was a pig, high on cocaine. One day I’m in a restaurant and the movie hadn’t come out yet, but the kids must have seen the preview of me punching Zach. So one of those sightseeing buses went by and all the kids came off the bus and grabbed me, taking pictures and my friend says, ‘I think we’ve got something here, Mike’ and I said, ‘Yeah, me too.’”
He further continued,
“It’s been different, it’s changed ever since. When I go out and I meet younger kids that are 20 or 15, it’s because they watched ‘The Hangover’ — they had no idea that I used to be a boxer.”
Tyson is currently attached to two other upcoming projects and has been doing much better now since his new and improved lifestyle.The Hangoveris available to stream on Netflix in the U.S.
