Mike Tyson Brad Pitt wet noodle
Well, maybe not. Because your leading man jawline was apparently enough to make Tyson go “emotionally comatose,” regress from a “hard stallion to a wet noodle,” and lose any and all willingness to fight.
According to Tyson, who appeared on Conan last night to promote his new one man show in Vegas — which, we’re told, will be full of stunning revelations like this one — he and his ex-wife, Robin Givens, were still intimate following their divorce in 1989. One morning, a young Tyson decided to drive over to her house in search of an AM “romp.”
Givens wasn’t home, so Tyson waited in his car. And when he saw her car pulling up, he was hopeful — until Pitt got out of the car too, and his dreams were dashed. Surprisingly, everyone survived.
Tyson, appearing on Conan Tuesday to promote a five-night tell-all show at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, explained how the hunky Fight Club star’s good looks served as a knockout punch to his morale some 20 years back.
Tyson told Conan that at the time, he was broken up with ex-wife Robin Givens, though they were still secretly hooking up, despite a fierce war of words in the media.

One night as he sat in his car, waiting for her to return to her home, she pulled up with the future king of the A-list, whose main claim to fame at the time was his eye candy role in 1991’s Thelma & Louise.
“As I go to my car she drives up ... with the handsome Brad Pitt,” the fighter said, adding the first thought to run through his head was, ‘Aw man I ain’t getting’ no p***y tonight!”’
The 48-year-old actor and Ellen discussed the progress of his Make It Right organization, which builds safe, sustainable, and affordable homes for working families.
“I’m getting far too much credit for this. This took a lot of very smart people coming in and attacking the situation. It took the families determined to come back [after Hurricane Katrina] and their resilience and they’re defining what this thing was going to be. I get far too much credit for bringing some really smart people together,” Brad shared.
