Jamie Foxx: Mike Tyson unclear if Foxx will play boxer in biopic as planned amid health scare

Fox News Flash top entertainment and celebrity headlines are here.

Mike Tyson revealed Jamie Foxx's health issues may have halted the boxer's long anticipated biopic once again. 

The project, which has been in the works for more than a decade, recently gained traction in the form of a TV movie only to face another hurdle when Foxx suffered an undisclosed "medical complication" last month.

When asked on the "Valuetainment" podcast if he was following "what's going on with Jamie Foxx," Tyson said, "He's not feeling well."

Host Patrick Bet-David said, "Something's going on." The legendary boxer added, "Yeah, they said a stroke."

It’s unclear if Tyson has firsthand knowledge of Foxx's health issue, adding, "I have no idea what happened to him.

"Hey listen, we can't anticipate our next breath. We don't know when we're going to die. After we leave this, bad stuff could happen."

When Bet-David asked if Foxx is still involved in the Tyson biopic, Mike gave an equally candid response.

"Well, it was a possibility. I don't know what's going to happen now. But, you know, it's a strong possibility.

"Because, you know, Jamie's closer to my age, so in order to do him, they were going to do what they did with [the movie] Benjamin Button. They were going to make him look younger."

In 2021, it was revealed Foxx would star in a biographical television series centered on the life of the boxing legend. The limited series, "Tyson," is said to be executive produced by Tyson, Foxx, Antoine Fuqua and Martin Scorsese.
