Mike Tyson recently revealed that Jamie Foxx has been tapped to play him in a biopic and joked that he would do steroids to look more physically imposing.

During his appearance on Vice's new adult Web series 'The Jim Norton Show', Iron Mike said that although the 46-year-old actor was almost older than him but to make him look younger they could use a technology called Emotion Capture, which they used in the movie 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' to make Brad Pitt younger, New York Post reported.

He further joked that the 'Django Unchained' actor should do steroids, eat pork, potatoes and lift some weights in order to look more physically impressive as him.
