skinny mike tyson Mike Tysons drug habit fueled by appearance in The Hangover

Mike Tyson parlayed his somewhat psychotic role as himself in “The Hangover” into some drugs that well, made him psychotic.

In an interview with the Gridlock show on ESPN Radio Las Vegas, Tyson was candid about his past. Because, as we all know, the past includes movies he just filmed less than 2 years ago.

I was doing that to supply my drug habit. I’m sorry I’m coming at you guys like this… I said, ‘Wow, This is going to be really good. We’re going to sell this stuff on 42nd street on bootleg and make a lot of money.’ This is my best thinking on drugs… It wasn’t that way. It was an international success

While Tyson has gone vegan and dropped a considerable amount of weight recently, it still doesn’t change the fact that he’s sadly a high lottery choice in most peoples’ death pools.

My Dr. Drew moment of the week for Tyson is this simple diagnosis: stop being so compulsive about everything. Whether it’s training for a fight, eating, not eating, drugs, alcohol, women, or tatoos. There is such a thing as moderation in life. Is there a rehab facility that offers treatment for that?
