Mike Tyson does not remember acting in the movie

However, a rather hysterical turn of events ensued when Mike Tyson revealed that he does not remember acting in the movie.

Tyson was a guest at the Full Send Podcast. In conversation with the hosts, Tyson was asked about his upcoming movie.

Funnily enough, Tyson’s only reply to that question was, “Tell me about that. Read it back to me.”

His reply left the hosts in splits, who then mentioned the name of the movie to him. He hilariously started talking about the animal, Liger. He even went on to talk about the time he met a liger, much to the amusement of the hosts.

When the hosts tried to divert him back to the movie, he remarked, “I don’t know this s***.”
