Mike Tyson is probably one of the worst people on the planet to mess with. Known for knocking grown men in the ring, the boxer was once famously called Kid Dynamite. Now who in their right mind would mess with him? Of course no one other than Wesley Snipes.
Snipes has a knack for messing with fellow actors and crew, being extremely outlandish on the sets and in personal interactions. Once, the Blade actor decided to mess with the former boxer and got a good taste of Karma, but only about a hundred times intensified.
Mike Tyson Once Made Wesley Snipes Eat Dirt
Wesley Snipes doesn’t exactly have a good reputation in the film world. Very Infamous for his outlandish personality, the actor had a good taste of grovel when he decided to mess with the killing machine called Mike Tyson. Tyson’s former bodyguard, in his memoir, revealed the wildest story about how Tyson got his revenge when Snipes decided to mess with him by hitting on his girlfriend.
His bodyguard, Rudy Gonzalez, explained how Tyson had him follow his then-girlfriend, after being suspicious of her. After discovering her meeting Wesley Snipes in secret, Gonzalez quickly informed Tyson who reached the spot with a 6’7 bulked bodyguard, Anthony.
“When Hope (Tyson’s girlfriend) caught sight of him, she practically fell out of Snipes lap and onto the floor. The actor froze then waved a hand ‘Now, Mike, now, Mike, we can do this together. I dont want no problem.'”
However, Tyson had other plans and snapped at the Demolition Man actor to accompany him to the bathroom.
“A couple minutes later we heard a big noise inside, and then Tyson emerged alone. After he was gone, I cracked open the bathroom door. Wesley Snipes was sitting against the far wall, head tilted to one side, unconscious.”
And that is how Mike Tyson got his revenge.
Mike Tyson Isn’t The Only Star Wesley Snipes Messed With
The Blade star is perhaps best known for his weird persona than he is known for his roles. Mike Tyson is not the first or last on the list of people Wesley Snipes annoyed. In the past, even his Blade co-star Ryan Reynolds subtly hinted that he would not like to work with him again. Even Jennifer Lopez revealed in a press interview how Snipes freaked her out with his repeated advances and attempts to kiss her.
There are probably dozens of other stories and interviews of celebrities disclosing the other problematic behavior of Wesley Snipes. He even had a run-in with the law when he served nail time for tax evasions.
