Boxing fan George Clooney is helping former boxing champ Mike Tyson fight his bankruptcy with a role in the new A-Team movie.
"Iron Mike" was one of Clooney's heroes at the height of his boxing fame during the 1990s - and now the star is keen to act alongside the champion. The Hollywood hunk has offered Tyson a multi-million deal to take the role of BA Baracus - originally played by Mr T in the hit TV series. Although the money is a far cry from his boxing days, this acting role will certainly help the ex-world heavyweight out of his financial problems - as papers reported last week he was down to his last $5,400 (£3,000) after blowing his $288 million (£160 million) fortune. A source to Tyson says, "Mike is really blown away by the offer. He sees it as a way of making a fresh start of a whole new career. If it works out George will be he saviour. He can't wait to give it a go." Clooney has just secured the rights to make the movie - and will himself achieve a lifetime ambition by playing A-Team leader Hannibal Smith - made famous by George Peppard [RIP]. - contactmusic.com I pity Mike Tyson! When Mr T lays his hands on that wrinkly old Jibba Jabberin' fool, he's gonna teach him a lesson. We don't want a tattoo faced sucka playing the role of BA Baracus. We want the one and only, Mr T!
