Nothing Says Joyous Celebration Of Dance Like Mike Tyson

bollywoodtyson.jpgWe're a bit late on this, but it's too gorgeous not to comment upon: Mike Tyson is going to star in a Bollywood movie.

The former heavyweight boxing champion said in an interview that Firoz Nadiadwala, producer of "Fool n Final," had approached him with a script. "Firoz has discussed a movie with me," the newspaper quoted Tyson as saying. "We seriously intend to work toward it," he said, without disclosing any details.

Tyson, 40, danced to Bollywood music at a two-day shoot in Las Vegas last month for a music video to promote "Fool n Final," about a diamond heist. "The atmosphere was very congenial, happy and energetic," the newspaper quoted Tyson as saying.

We think this is a brilliant idea ... though we think it's pretty certain we're going to have a Richard Gere incident. Except, you know, a lot worse.
