WATCH: Mike Tyson Imitates Matthew McConaughey’s Iconic Chant From ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’

Boxing legend Mike Tyson is an avid fan of movies and television shows and has also made a career out of it. Thus, it is safe to say that ‘Iron Mike’ has a fair share of knowledge about popular culture and mainstream media trends. Moreover, he only went ahead and further proved this after imitating an icon chant from the 2013 Oscar-nominated movie ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’.

Directed by the legendary director Martin Scorsese the movie was not only critically acclaimed but also received a lot of praise from fans as well. It became a staple in pop culture with many of the scenes still being used as memes and other satire skits. Tyson is certainly a fan of the movie as he mimicked one of its most iconic scenes.

On his podcast Hotboxin’, Tyson and guest comedian Bill Bellamy were discussing the time when the movie was based. Bellamy stated that the movie rightly depicted drug usage among elite Wall Street people at the time. “That was what based on that was based on the 80s right,” said Bellamy. “The 90s,” Tyson responded.” “They were doing quaaludes like they were chicklets,” Bellamy added.

This was not all, as ‘Iron Mike’ then made a fist and hit his chest mimicking McConaughey’s rhythmic chant from the movie. “Knowing the guy that first made the boom boom,” he added. This chant became popular after the movie’s release, with even sports teams using it as a relaxation tool.

The movie was loosely based on the life of Jordan Belfort and his rise and downfall. Moreover, Tyson even detailed the time he met Belfort and discussed the movie with him.

“Hey, you know who I spent some time with in Saudi Arabia? Fu*king, The Wolf of Wall Street what was the name Belford? Man listen I was hanging out with this. He was only this big and um I’m saying listen did you see the part when they was in the boat. I said don’t tell me that you really had it. You see that part holy sh*t you didn’t see that did you. These mothef**kers. I’m not gonna die sober. The guys kept getting shocked. Johan Hill kept getting shocked trying to get the cradle,” said Tyson.

While Tyson has seen his fair share of drug use in the past, this was a step above even for him. This might be the reason why the former champion relates to the movie and even had the chance to meet the man it was all based on.
