Mike Tyson To Become A Hollywood Actor

After years of knocking out his opponents, American boxer Mike Tyson now wants to become an actor. The boxer who recently wrapped up his one man Broadway show – The Undisputed Truth-  is now set to conquer Hollywood.

“Mike is now attending acting workshops and taking lessons. He is also studying the Lee  Strasberg technique of method acting.” said a source close to the New York born  pugilist who has convinced himself he’s a born performer.

“Between what Mike learnt while hanging out on a few movie sets and on his own Broadway show he has become inspired.” explained the source. “It is absolutely amazing. Mike is now reading Shakespeare and biographies on Sir Laurence Olivier and Sir John Gielgud. He is very keen on British literature and those actors from the past.”

Tyson appeared in Scary Movie 5 playing himself with a cast that included Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen. “He hit his mark every time and required very little direction. The crew loved working with him so much they started calling him ‘One Take Tyson.’ adds the source. “To everyone’s surprise, Mike was a delight to work with. He honestly believes he could become the next Denzel Washington and talks openly about his new passion and dream.”
