Actress Reveals How Mike Tyson Made Her Uncomfortable: ‘I Was a Bit Scared to Interact With Him’

Mike Tyson has had one of the most incredible heavyweight careers in the sport’s history. Back in the 1990s, he was one of the most popular stars, who allured many fans with his dynamic performances. Tyson also had an interesting personality and that meant that sometimes many colleagues and fans drew an unusual perception about him.

However, Tyson, after his retirement, changed altogether, and he always looked to make people around him comfortable. However, ‘Iron’ Mike’s vibrant personality still leaves many startled, and that’s what happened with one of his co-actresses.

These days, ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ is working on his very first pan-India project on a film named Liger. Here, Tyson’s co-actress, Ananya Panday, recently spoke to TOI about her interaction with the former heavyweight king.

“He’s such a great guy. I am not going to lie, I was a bit scared to interact with him given his persona and boxing brilliance. It can get unnerving. We have grown up watching his bouts. Contrary to his overwhelming image, he was extremely chilled out and funny. He was like a big teddy bear.” she said.

The entire team of Liger is relishing their moments with Mike Tyson on the sets. Moreover, Tyson’s co-actor in the film, Vijay Deverakonda, even shared a picture with ‘Iron’ Mike, thus asserting his love for the boxing great.
