In short, the man’s devastated, but he’s apparently taken up acting as a way to keep himself somewhat active.

If you don’t remember, Mike’s daughter Exodus was discovered by her brother with a treadmill cord wrapped around her neck. Awful.

In fact, after adding a cameo in The Hangover to his resume, Tyson is set to appear in Michael Strahan’s new show Brothers.

“I really was beating myself up over my daughter. I was staying in the house, depressed; it was a dark moment in my life. This keeps me functioning as a healthy human being…

I am working with dealing with it,” he says. “I have spoken to a lot of people. I have become a member of an exclusive club no one wants to join. I have been told the pain never stops but you get over it. I am going through a process, trying to heal. I am in denial, because I don’t know how to handle it. I don’t know what to do or say. I appreciate everybody who supported me.”

Mike Tyson’s had a rough life, high highs and low lows, but back in May was the first time I ever felt sorry for the guy.
