Former Boxing Champion Mike Tyson arrived at the Cannes Film Festival with his family in tow for the unveiling of his new film titled ‘Tyson’. The film,which documents the Boxer’s rise and fall over the years,premiered on Friday (May 16).
A sympathetic portrayal of heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson brought one of the most fearsome and controversial fighters in the sport’s history to the red carpet at the Cannes film festival.
Selecting from hours of documentary footage and mixing fight sequences with interviews and photographs, director James Toback tells the story of the boxer’s climb from his impoverished childhood to the pinnacle of his sport and dramatic fall.
Like Serbian director Emir Kusturica’s documentary on soccer legend Diego Maradona, which is showing out of competition next week, “Tyson” paints the picture of a charismatic but troubled champion whose image transcended his own sport.
“In the course of the film, Tyson moves from someone you might think you’d want to steer well clear of to a man you might actually want to meet and speak with, which is a significant accomplishment,” trade paper Variety said in its review.
Tyson himself, his face tattooed and looking significantly heavier in a grey suit than in the days of his prime, mounted the red carpet at the film’s opening night to loud applause from onlookers and festival-goers. READ MORE
In all,Tyson has six children: Gena, Mikey, Rayna, Amir, Miguel, and Exodus. Rayna and Amir are from his second wife and it is documented that the rest of his children are from several different women.(Wikipedia)
My heart goes out to the Tyson family … it’s just not fair when a child leaves this earth before their parents. Mr. Tyson is my neighbor here in Arizona-town and I have seen Exodus on many occasions. She was a lovely and inquisitive little girl. Her name certainly proved to be prophetic. After all, God delivered her twice.
What a beutiful comment. All I can add is that my prayers are with the family.
Does anyone know if Mike Tyson was “involved” with the little girl’s mother at the time of her death?
mike tyson is the best ever, he is the most brutal the most vicious and the most ruthless champion there has ever been! no one is better than him!
Mike Tyson is such a jerk! Did you see him on Oprah last month, it was totally ridiculous
First of all Monica has only two children with Mike Tyson. Their names are Amir and Rayna.I feel very sorry for him because he appears to be very sad and lonely.
I believe that his children by his second wife will be exceptional. Monica is brilliant and her children are very smart. I do not know what you tell children when their father is Mike Tyson.
When I saw him on Oprah he really was tyring to be normal (What ever that means) I think he is very scattered and shattered. I can only hope that he gets any help he may need.
God Bless his daughter Exodus and may God shine his eternal light upon her.
