Mike Tyson, the former two-time heavyweight champion, became an actor after retiring from the sports in 2005. He was in debt and wanted to make money, so he took the road to Hollywood. The post-retirement actor did not have prior experience in acting, but his fame was a big factor in getting an opportunity.

He worked in several movies. Some of them did very well at the box office. For this, ‘The Baddest Man on Planet’ earned appreciation from both movie critics and fans. His big hits are The Hangover, The Hangover 2, Ip Man 3, and many more to come. He is still practicing this profession.
Though he spends a lot of time in Hollywood, he did not find it befitting. He recently had beef with the Hulu Streaming service.
Why Mike Tyson is unhappy with Hollywood?
Tyson is not happy with the current scenario in Hollywood. He revealed this in his podcast while having an interesting conversation with the legendary rapper and actor Ice Cube.
He said, “I have to do my own movie with my own care. I can’t do that s**t, can’t do Hollywood. It’s not working.”
Tyson said this, interrupting Ice Cube when the latter was talking about struggles in Hollywood. The man, who comes from the core of Hollywood said, “you gotta fight in Hollywood to make sure you can get movies done right because sometimes in Hollywood it’s about profit and sometimes it’s about propaganda um and you never know really where you know the Studio’s mine.”
What is Tyson doing now?
The 56-year-old is in a good position in life. He talked about this in several episodes of HotBoxin. He is running a podcast that gives him an opportunity to talk to his celebrity friends.
Apart from this, he has begun a business venture. His company produces edibles. Recently, he made a deal with his longtime rival, the former world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield. The duo is coming up with new ‘earbite’ cannabis edibles.
This would pay homage to their highly decorated ‘Bite Fight’ of 1997.
