Mike Tyson Narrates How ‘The Hangover’ Changed His Retired Life Forever

On a recent Hotboxin’ episode, Mike Tyson recently narrated how he actually discovered his involvement in ‘The Hangover’ movie. He said that he once walked into a club and saw some people in his usual private section. They eventually approached him and casually told him they were going to shoot a movie together the next week.

However, Mike Tyson did not have a clue about what they were talking about. He said he was “involved with drugs” and that he didn’t even remember that he had an agent.

He also highlighted that he was thankful to his agent for booking that opportunity. Tyson could bring his life back on track after that, as things started taking off for him. Later, he did another Hangover movie and also did a show in Europe. He believes that his role in the movie set him off to turn into who he is today.

“Where? When? How? They said we’re doing a movie man, I’ll see you next week, I had no idea, I was so involved with drugs back then, I had no idea I still had an agent.

“I didn’t know I had an agent. Next thing you know, I’m in the movie and we shot a movie,” said Mike Tyson.

“I’m just really happy my friend got me involved in that movie. Once I did that, everything started taking off. The part 2, there was other stuff, this, that. Then I went over to Europe, did the one-man show and that started me on this journey to where I am now,” Tyson added.
