Mike Tyson wants a role on 'Downton Abbey'.
The boxing legend wants to take on more acting roles since his retirement from the sport, and would love Julian Fellowes to write him a part in the British period drama set in the early 20th century.
Asked whether he wanted to
act more, Mike told Shortlist magazine: "I would. I'm coming to the West End soon for my one-man show, so maybe when I fly to the UK they'll give me a part on 'Downtown Abbey' (sic). I like that show. I'm sure they could give me a part."
The former world heavyweight champion found it tough reminiscing about the past for his new memoir, 'Undisputed Truth', and claims his childhood was harder to bear than the "good days" he spent in jail in the 90s in the intimate company of his female counsellor.
Mike quipped: "There were some horrific things [in my childhood] that I did not enjoy. Jail was a lot easier ... I had a female counsellor and we'd do it for a long time. I had some good days in there."
