independent.co.uk • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Mr T, famed for his roles in The A-Team and Rocky, has publicly criticized the new Netflix documentary "Untold Mr T: I Pity the Fool," claiming it misrepresents his life and omits significant aspects such as his charity work and Christian faith.
- Despite his displeasure, Mr T is promoting the documentary, expressing frustration that it portrays him negatively and suggests his career declined due to poor decisions, which he disputes.
- He specifically refuted claims from his former agent about his role in the 1993 film Freaked, asserting the documentary unfairly undermines his career choices and has an agenda to diminish his legacy.
- Mr T, now 74 and a born-again Christian, emphasized that his career wind-down was a personal choice after achieving financial goals, not due to failure, and highlighted his longstanding advocacy against drugs and charity efforts.
- The documentary, chronicling his rise and fall, will be available on Netflix starting 8 September, with Netflix yet to comment on Mr T's criticisms.
