“You Could Bite Me…”: Oscars Nominated Actress Reveals Her Co-Star’s Weird Request to Mike Tyson

In 1997, Mike Tyson faced Evander Holyfield for the second time inside the MGM Grand, Las Vegas. A year earlier, in their first meet, Holyfield defeated Tyson with a TKO victory in round number 11. This was Tyson’s chance to avenge himself and he was going to make this an unforgettable night. Disappointingly, Tyson lost via DQ, but what he did to provoke a disqualification remains an indelible moment even after fifteen years.

Tyson had bitten Holyfield, not once but twice. Recently, Oscars nominated actress Rosie Perez appeared on Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson and took her chance to live through her moment of on-screen biting with the ‘Baddest Man on Earth.’

In the brutal scene, most of which was Franco’s idea, Perez was bitten by Franco. As Mike Tyson watched the scene for the first time, the following is what Rosie Perez revealed on Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson:

“That was James Franco’s idea. The fight scene. He wanted to bite me on my breast. And I said no. He goes, what about the a**?”
