Mr. T to pity fool, news at 11…
Okay, you can file this under sappy, since I’ve always had a soft spot for Mr. T, but I pity the fool who dares to mock Mr. T, who is one helluva though guy.
“We are going to start filming Rocky VI soon, with me as Clubber Lang again, and we’re also starting work right now on my new show - which is called I Pity The Fool.
“Unlike all the other reality programmes, it is going to be about helping people. We’re not going to be eating worms or swapping wives.
“For example a lady might write to me saying she’s having trouble at a car dealership, because she’s the only female employee and the men are harassing her. So I’ll go in and straighten things out.
“I learn about the situation, observe for a couple of days and then call the guys into a meeting and give them the Mr T rap - ‘I tell you fools, you don’t disrespect no lady. My mum is a lady.’
“I don’t get physical with anyone but I talk to them man to man and brother to brother.”
Off-screen, Mr T is lending a helping hand to the survivors of Hurricane Katrina.
The tragedy deeply affected the 53-year-old Christian star, who was so moved by what happened in New Orleans that it convinced him to give up his trademark gold chains.
He said: “I watched my people, the black people, screaming, begging and crying just for water.
“They didn’t want diamond rings or new houses, they just wanted water, and they couldn’t get any.
“I knew that soon I would be going around visiting these people in homeless shelters and it would be a sin against God and a sin against humanity to go around there wearing a million-dollars worth of gold chains, rings and diamonds.
“It would be wrong for me to say ‘it’s going to be alright buddy’ and then go about my business. That would be a lie.
“People need to see that Mr T has a heart of gold, not just the gold that drips around my neck.
“That’s my wardrobe, my uniform, but I will never wear it again.”
So, we’re losing the gold chains, but we’re getting Mr. T back, so.. it’s all good. Go read the full article, Mr. T is a true hero, fool!
