Mike Tyson has been thrown a new career challenge that may suit him to a 'T'. Boxing fan George Clooney has offered bankrupt Tyson a multi-million dollar deal to star in a remake of the hit television series A-Team.
Tyson's role in the film would be that of Sergeant BA Baracus, originally played by a gold chain-draped Mr T. Clooney will play A-Team leader Hannibal Smith.
A Hollywood source said: "Mike is blown away by the offer. He sees it as a way of making a fresh start. If it works out, George will be his saviour."
Meanwhile, the talk in America was of promoter Don King seeking to sign Tyson as the opponent for George Foreman's comeback to the ring at the age of 55.
However, if Tyson does swap the big ring for the big screen then Joe Bugner is ready to trade leather with Big George. The 53-year-old fancies his chances, pointing out: "I went the distance twice with Muhammad Ali. He couldn't. Muhammad was not able to stop me but he stopped George."
Can't see how the high pitched voice and the lisp would go down well :?
:roll:
That would just ruin it totally. Better actors out there who can play Baracus....

Mike isn't such a bad actor. Did you see him in Black and White with Robert Downey Jnr.?
That was some funny sh*t.
