I swear this is like the fifth time I've seen this question asked.

Jamie. And if he gets this Tyson movie down like I think he can, it won't even be close.

It's Jamie but I am not overly enthused about this Tyson movie. My man is like a year younger than Mike. I'm sure he will have Mike down but still it's gonna be hard to get around the fact that he is in his 50s. I know they can make people look younger, but I'm not sure how that will work with what is sure to be a very dramatic and emotional movie.

I hear you, but age aside Jamie is such a dynamic actor.

What I'm hoping for with this movie is not a reenactment of Tyson's entire life, but rather a very narrow view of his on a specific time in his life. Maybe the time period after Cus dies up until he initially retires...who knows. Jamie can pass for someone in his early 30's.

I think where a lot of biopics fall short is trying to document the entire lifetime of someone where there's megatons of media footage. It's hard to reenact someone's whole life and not have some moments where you fall short. See Will Smith in Ali.

I used to always ask this. Jamie is much more versatile. Both legends but aside from Sci Fi flicks, Will basically plays an adult version of his Fresh Prince Character. The range Jamie has been able to show over the years has been remarkable.
