Tyson coaches Bush in King’s Speech spoof

[1]

Mike Tyson played vocal coach to former US President George Bush Jr in a spoof of The King’s Speech which sees the boxing legend try to correct his student’s famed “Bushisms”.
The skit, which was aired during a special Oscar edition of Jimmy Kimmel’s US chat show, saw the former boxer helping a Bush lookalike get ready for an important public address, reported People magazine online.
Tyson recited lines from Hamlet with the doppelganger, massaged his jaw, rolled him along the floor and helped him perform voice exercises. His role in the skit, the President’s Speech, was a hilarious take on Geoffrey Rush’s Oscar-nominated part.
Tyson, 44, was filmed wearing a suit and hat and painting a watercolour, when he was approached to be Bush’s vocal coach. The ex-heavyweight champion repeatedly held his head in his hands as he watched the former US President fluff his lines during live broadcasts. “The worst delivery in the history of speeching,” he bellowed during one blunder.
But after some intensive training, which mimicked Rush’s scenes with Colin Firth in the King’s Speech, Tyson’s tactics worked. The former boxer stood in the sidelines, a tear trickling from his eye, as Bush got through an address unscathed.

Salty diet hits blood flow in just 30 mins?
London: It may sound alarming, but a new study has claimed that eating a single salty meal could reduce blood flow in your main arteries in just 30 minutes. And, blood flow becomes temporarily more restricted for between 30 minutes and an hour after the salty food has been consumed, say researchers.
The researchers tested how quickly salt had a damaging effect on the body by recruiting 16 healthy adults and feeding them each a high-salt meal, containing four grams and later a low-salt meal, made with just 0.3 gram, the Daily Mail reported. The results showed blood flow was significantly more impaired within 30 minutes of eating the salty meal than low- salt alternative and restriction reached a peak after an hour. —PTI
