Mike Tyson is set to appear as a guest actor in the Star TV series “Salted Coffee” (“Tuzlu Kahve”), according to journalist Birsen Altuntas.
Tyson, widely regarded as one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time, is reportedly preparing to play the friend of the character Mehmet, who is portrayed by Bugra Gulsoy. The friend is from the United States. The report did not specify when Tyson’s episode will air.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Tyson became the youngest heavyweight world champion in boxing history in 1986 at age 20. He has since appeared in films and television productions, including a cameo in the 2009 comedy “The Hangover.”
“Salted Coffee” premiered on Sept. 1 and airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on Star TV, a Turkish national channel. The series blends romantic comedy and family drama, following long-established, wealthy families in Istanbul and the clashes between tradition and modern life. Gulsoy returns Mehmet Aydinoglu to Türkiye after years living in the United States. New episodes reach HBO Max about 24 hours after the television broadcast.
The show has featured other high-profile guests. Turkish pop singer Ajda Pekkan appeared in an earlier episode, according to NTV.
Mustafa Kotan directs the series, which Asli Zengin, Banu Zengin Tak and Ece Yosmaoglu wrote. Polat Yagci produces it.
The cast includes Settar Tanriogen, Nevra Serezli, Nebahat Cehre and Hatice Aslan. Binnur Kaya, Sevval Sam, Bugra Gulsoy, Sarp Apak, Eda Ece, Nergis Kumbasar, Enis Arikan, Yasemin Ergene, Cengiz Bozkurt and Ceren Moray also appear in the show.
