Mike Tyson: I want to sing and dance in musicals like 'Billy Madison'

Mike Tyson faced reporters at an investor's forum in Hong Kong Wednesday and told the audience his next goal in life is to be like Billy Elliot.

"I want to dance and sing," said the former heavyweight champ.  "I want to do some dancing and singing musicals."

"I want to be like Billy Madison," said Tyson, apparently confusing the last name of Adam Sandler's man-child character for the boy dancer from the movie and play.  "Remember that show? Anybody see that? Remember he's a boxer.  He turns into a ballet dancer."

The former world heavyweight champion went public with his aspirations while addressing the CLSA Forum.

Tyson has sung in movies, commercials and variety shows all over the world.  Check out YouTube — it's full of them.  He just completed a short run on Broadway with his one-man confessional "Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth" directed by fellow Brooklynite Spike Lee to some good reviews.

The fighter — who once called himself "the most brutal and vicious, the most ruthless champion there has ever been" — has apparently turned over a new leaf.

"I don't have the desire to be that guy anymore," Tyson told the audience. He said "that guy" couldn't have the loving relationship he currently has with his family.

The 46-year old Tyson sounded like he believes Billy Elliot — the title character from the musical about a boy who swaps boxing gloves for ballet slippers — could be his alter-ego.

Tyson — who won 44 of his 50 ring victories by knockout and bit off a piece of Evander Holyfield's ear — just wants to put his brutal past behind him.

"I don't want to spread no more of that violence in the air," he said.

Mike Tyson's Broadway debut will be a Spike Lee joint

Spike Lee will be in Mike Tyson's corner when the former heavyweight champ makes his Broadway debut with his one-man show "Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth."

TMZ reports that Lee is in final talks to direct Tyson's show which had a  week-long April run in Las Vegas.  Call it a Spike Lee Joint.

"Lee is gonna be involved," Tyson told the site.  "Oh yeah, it's awesome."

Lee was behind the recently cancelled HBO drama "Da Brick" which was loosely based on Tyson's rise in the boxing world and the people surrounding him.  It was like an urban version of "Entourage" and had that show's creator Doug Ellin involved as well. The title is the slang nickname for Newark, N.J. where the show was set.

Lee reportedly got the chance to see Tyson's show— which tells almost the same story of the boxer's triumphs and failures as a fighter and his tumultuous upbringing as the son of a pimp and a prostitute in Brooklyn.

The show was an up close and personal look at Tyson's life inside and outside the ring featuring images, music and videos.

The two men have reportedly talked with theater mogul Jimmy Nederlander Jr. to bring the show to the Great White Way— possibly by the end of this summer.

The show was originally performed at the MGM Grand where Tyson notoriously bit off  part of the ear of fighter Evander Holyfield during a championship fight.  Lee and Tyson are already making changes to the show to get it ready for Broadway.

Lee is no stranger to Broadway and made his debut with "Stalag 17" on 2007.  He also recorded the critically-acclaimed "Passing Strange" for a limited release film last year.

Mike Tyson might take his Vegas one-man show to Broadway

Famous ear-biting ex-boxer Mike Tyson's one-man show hasn't even opened in Las Vegas and the former heavyweight champion is already looking to take it to The Great White Way, according to TMZ.

Tyson's Vegas show "Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth— Live on Stage" opens in less than a month at MGM Grand's Hollywood Theatre in Las Vegas from April 13-18 and there is already a buzz about taking it on the road.  Tyson is waiting to see how ticket sales do before planning a tour.

If the show does well and a tour is planned, New York would be one of the first stops.

According to the report, Tyson has "always wanted to do a show on Broadway, and he feels this could be his chance."

Before Broadway snobs yell 'Mamma Mia,' remember former-boxer Tony Danza tap-danced his way into a part as Max Bialystock in the "The Producers" and is set to appear in a musical version of "Honeymoon in Vegas" next year.

Tyson's show is expected to feature the brutish ex-fighter telling stories about his troubled personal life and boxing career, accompanied by live music and video clips of him in the ring.

His dancing in the ring made him the world's most famous athlete for years and Tyson has already shown he can warble a tune in the two Hangover movies.

Tickets have been selling reasonably well,  but have not sold out.

While nobody will ever cast Tyson as the lead in "Priscilla Queen of the Desert" — well... you never know— his one-man show might be more aptly titled "War Horse."
