Jamie Foxx won an Oscar in 2005 for playing Ray Charles.  

He's taking on another American icon, Mike Tyson.  Foxx has been working on an Iron Mike biopic for years and judging from this bulked up photo, he's getting ready to start filming.

Foxx, who is 52, will play both a young and old Tyson.

To get in proper shape for the younger version, Foxx has been doing 60 pull-ups, 60 dips, 100 push-ups a day.  The skinny-legged Foxx will not even try to mimic the champ's calves.  Those will be prosthetics.

Are you hype for Foxx's take on Tyson?
