The actor started as a comedian in a comedy club, in 1989. That same year, he adopted the name Jamie Foxx, a name ambiguous enough to be interpreted as either male or female.

In 1991, he debuted in the world of movies with his role in In Living Color. Since then, Foxx has played many roles, but we will only mention a few below.

Also, Jamie Foxx voiced the cartoon canary in the movie known as Rio. Foxx also played in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (villain Electro), and hosted several TV shows like Beat Shazam and Name That Tune.

We expect Foxx to play many extraordinary roles in the future! The next one, however, seems to be in the Mike Tyson biopic.

About the New Mike Tyson Biopic

Initially, the movie was rumored in 2014 when Jamie Foxx said that Terence Winter would write the script. The director of the film would be Martin Scorsese. In 2017, during an interview with Screen Rant, Foxx said that the project would go on, and Scorsese will be the director for sure.

Recently, Jamie Foxx confirmed that Mike Tyson biopic would happen, and the movie is already in the works. Foxx will play the role of Tyson in the upcoming film.

We look forward to watching the movie as soon as it rolls out because, as we all know, Foxx will play a great role. Nevertheless, the topic of the movie (Mike Tyson’s career) is an excellent one.

On the downside, the film won’t present the entire career of Mike Tyson because the renowned 53-year-old boxer plans to return in 2020. There might not be enough time for the producers to add new events in Tyson’s life.
