Super Hot; Mike Tyson gets too real with 14-year-old interviewer, talks of death and nothingness

Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson stunned a teenage girl on Thursday after she lobbed him an easy feel-good question — only to get a shockingly response about death and eternal nothingness.

The jaw-dropping comments came as Tyson, 58, did a round of interviews ahead of his high-profile bout with YouTube personality Jake Paul, that’ll be staged in Arlington, Texas on Friday and streamed on Netflix.

When 14-year-old Jazlyn Guerra, the young journalist behind Jazzys World TV, asked what kind of “legacy” he hopes to leave behind, the unflinching Tyson explained how fleeting and seemingly meaningless strolling this planet could be.

I don’t believe in the word ‘legacy.’ I think that’s another word for ego. Legacy doesn’t mean nothing. That’s just some word everybody grabbed on to. Someone said that word and everyone grabbed on to that word, now it’s used every five seconds,” Tyson said in an interview that posted on Thursday.

“It means absolutely nothing to me. I’m just passing through. I’m gonna die and it’s gonna be over. Who cares about legacy after that?”

After a brief awkward pause, Iron Mike continued with his crushingly existential musings.
