Mike Tyson did The Hangover for drug money
By Alexandra Heilbron on August 5, 2010 | 10 Comments
Mike Tyson says he appeared in The Hangover to fund his drug habit. The legendary boxer played himself in the 2009 movie, which went on to be a huge box office success. During an interview for an ESPN radio show in Las Vegas, Tyson admitted the only reason he agreed to be in the comedy movie was to earn cash to buy illegal substances. “I was doing that to supply my drug habit,” he reportedly said. Though Tyson didn’t specify which drugs he took, he was arrested for possessing cocaine in 2007 and also had marijuana in his system. In a recent interview, he admitted that he’d overdosed in the past. The 44-year-old says he’s now turned his life around, and is trying to be healthier. He has become a vegan, and he’s lost 130 lbs — at his heaviest, Mike revealed that he weighed 350 lbs and had “back fat and an a*s that looked like a broom.”
