Mike Tyson played vocalcoach to former US President George Bush Jr in a spoof of "The King'sSpeech" which sees the boxing legend try to correct his student's famed'Bushisms'
The skit, which wasaired during a special Oscar edition of Jimmy Kimmel's US chat show, saw theformer boxer helping a Bush lookalike get ready for an important public address,reported People magazine online.
Tyson recited linesfrom Hamlet with the doppelganger massaged his jaw, rolled him along the floorand helped him perform voice exercises.
His role in the sketch,'The President's Speech', was a hilarious take on Geoffrey Rush'sOscar-nominated part.
Tyson, 44, was filmedwearing a suit and hat and painting a watercolour, when he was approached to beBush's vocal coach.
The ex-heavyweightchampion repeatedly held his head in his hands as he watched the former USpresident fluff his lines during live broadcasts.
"The worstdelivery in the history of speeching," he bellowed during one blunder.
But after someintensive training, which mimicked Rush's scenes with Colin Firth in 'TheKing's Speech', Tyson's tactics worked.
The former boxer stoodin the sidelines, a tear trickling from his eye, as Bush got through an addressunscathed.
Firth as stammeringBritish ruler George VI in earned the best actor prize at the Academy Awards.The film also received best director, best film and best script.
