Khris Davis stars as George Foreman in"Big George Foreman: The Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World.'The all-time king of the comeback, George Foreman, seems like he has another few rounds left in him. Not in the real-world boxing ring, though. The 74-year-old Houston heavyweight chuckles lightly in a phone interview and says he is pretty sure those days are over.
Laila Ali and George Foreman attend the Big George Foreman screening at Regal Atlantic Station on April 12, 2023 in Atlanta, Georgia.“Big George Foreman” has had a troubled production schedule since it was announced in 2021. Despite Foreman’s wishes that everything be filmed in his native Houston, much of the principal photography was done in New Orleans. A combination of damage from Hurricane Ida and shutdowns related to COVID further delayed the movie, as did the death of Michael K.
“I did go to a screening of the movie,” he says. “There were little pieces of the movie, like when we moved into one of these rundown houses and there was a rusty old refrigerator and stove. People would just leave stuff because it didn’t work anymore. I suddenly remembered that from growing up, and I started crying sitting next to my granddaughter.
Foreman paused in his statement, then joked, “I asked them, though, as long as they were changing a few things, maybe I could win the Rumble in the Jungle this time.”
