It seems to be a rite of passage for every actor at some point to play a boxer. Despite the sport becoming an afterthought in today’s world, there’s never a shortage of compelling boxing movies and of course, boxing itself is just a great visual metaphor for storytelling.
The latest actor to join the club is Jamie Foxx. The multi-talented performer has been trying to get a Mike Tyson film made for years now and it looks like things are finally coming together. Why? Well, because Foxx took to Instagram to share some shirtless selfies of his progress in bulking up to play Iron Mike, and you can check them out down below.
As Foxx mentions in his post, the movie is called Finding Mike. Little else is known about the project though, including who’ll write and direct. It’s also unknown what period in Tyson’s life will be covered.
