Steve-O shares crazy Mike Tyson story about cocaine, philosophy and 3 hours in a bathroom
Former "Jackass" star "Steve-O" and Mike Tyson have quite a lot in common. Both have lived high-profile lives, opened up about battling inner demons and have made a career out of inflicting physical injury.
The key difference being that former heavyweight boxing champ Tyson injured others, not himself.
After a long battle with drug and alcohol addiction, Steve-O (real name Steve Glover) is now eight years sober and on to a new project for Showtime. But he still remembers (at least parts of) a wild meeting with Iron Mike after showing up to a Hollywood mansion uninvited when the boxer answered the door. Steve-O says Tyson asked him, "You got any coke?"
Steve-O did, and this three-hour encounter followed, per Steve-O's account in GQ:
Naturally, that's where the pair reunited.
Although he's sober now, Steve-O admits in the introspective interview that he's still a fiend for attention and validation. Maybe he can turn back to Tyson who's recently offered motivation for folks in need of some direction:
Or maybe he just needs another close encounter with a bear.
