Mike Tyson’s Latest Movie Teaser Has No Trace of Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson is starring in a Bollywood movie named Liger. Besides ‘The Baddest Man On The Planet’, this combat-based film features Vijay Deverakonda as an MMA fighter, along with Ananya Panday, in pivotal roles. Although we don’t know what role ‘Iron’ Mike plays, he is no stranger to films.

Following his successful boxing career, Mike Tyson made quite a few appearances in films and TV shows. His personality, characteristic face tattoo, and his Brooklyn accent are what made him a name in the industry.

However, the only glimpse fans have gotten of ‘Iron’ Mike in Liger is from the posters. Even though Dharma Productions dropped a teaser on their YouTube channel, that hasn’t changed.

In the 53-second video, fans get a glimpse of what the movie is about- An Indian from the streets of Mumbai becomes an MMA fighter.

What movies has Mike Tyson acted in?

Mike Tyson has gained worldwide popularity for his feats inside the ring as well as outside of it. After retirement, he turned to the movies and has quite an impressive acting resume.

The boxer’s most iconic movie roles came in ‘The Hangover’ and ‘The Hangover Part II’. Tyson played himself in the movie and created one of the most iconic scenes when he punched the character ‘Alan’ played by Zach Galifianakis.

Other than the two Hangover movies, Tyson has also played a role in the movie Ip Man 3. In the film, Tyson fights against the protagonist Ip Man, played by Donnie Yen.

“I had to treat it as a real fight in a boxing ring with him and it was a matter of life and death. I couldn’t afford to be distracted in any way, otherwise it wouldn’t have been a K.O., it would have cost me my life,” said Yen on his experience of shooting a fight scene with Mike Tyson.
