Hulu’s Mike debuted on August 25 and was already in discussion. Meanwhile, the pictures of the actor wearing makeup have become a new subject of discussion among fans. Moonlight’s Trevante Rhodes is playing the role of ‘The Baddest Man on Planet’. He will act to show how Tyson became such a legendary phenomenon across the globe.
The focus of the series is on Tyson’s struggles. His childhood traumas, outside ring controversies, and prison time. Before the series could make it to the fans, the picture of the actor wearing makeup ruined many things. Fans are taking it as a huge disrespect to such a persona. According to reports, Tyson was already unhappy with the streaming service. He accused Hulu of stealing his life story without paying. This had a big impact on the buzz of the upcoming drama.
Now, when Masvidal posted the picture, fans erupted.
How did fans react to the picture of Mike Tyson from the series?
A fan wrote, “Bad screenshot. He did a great job though. Really better then I anticipated.”
Another fan wrote, “This is just a very bad picture of the actor. Besides the look, the actor does a magnificent job acting as Mike Tyson. His mannerisms and tone of voice is identical to Tyson’s.”
“That’s because it looks like they got Curtis Jackson to play him instead of Mike playing himself”, another fan added.
“I refused to watch it because how Hulu did Mike”, another fan added.
Another fan added, “Whatever…I love this tattoo on him! I just wish I were ever cool enough to wear it!”
“Why does it look like 50cent in bad make up”, another fan added.
Another fan added, “Hulu is the man just like 3 piece and a Soda.”
