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.
