Mike Tyson has revealed he fell asleep on a double date with Madonna in the 1980s. The retired boxer recalled he took a trip to the cinema to see ‘Big Top Pee-wee’ in the 1980s with his first wife, actress, Robin Givens as well as Madonna and her then-husband, Sean Penn but admitted he can’t remember much of it because both he and Sean dozed off during the movie.
He said: ‘We saw Pee Wee Herman’s ‘Big Top’ … We were with both of our significant others at the time, of course. ‘[It was] in the 80s. She was married to Sean, I was married as well. Me and Sean fell asleep in the movie.’
The 48-year old sportsman went on to explain that despite having great company during the low-key rendezvous, it was alcohol, which caused them to take a snooze. He admitted: ‘We like Pee-wee but we were slightly inebriated.’
Meanwhile, Mike – who features on the track ‘Iconic’ on Madonna’s 13th solo studio album, Rebel Heart – joked he still has no idea whether the ‘Living For Love’ hitmaker also fell asleep because he was too tired to notice. Speaking on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’, he said: ‘I have no idea. I slept most of it.’
