When you were a child, chances are that your dreams of an older you revolved around being an astronaut, a surgeon, a model or something astonishingly vapid which, rightly, saw you roundly mocked by adults when you went to bed.
However, if you’re Michelle Williams, your dream was to attack Mike Tyson in the face ’til bits of it broke off.
That’s right, the Brokeback actress has ‘fessed up that, when she was a smaller version of herself, her dream was to be a professional boxer so she could take on the former heavyweight champion of the world. If his court cases are anything to go off, he may well have been up for battering a girl in the ring.
You heard.
Williams, also a former member of RnB combo Destiny’s Child, wanted to be a boxer when she was little and dreamt about putting some gloves on and continually punching someone until they were unconscious.
She said:
“First I wanted to be a boxer. I don’t know why but I wanted to fight Mike Tyson. That was the dream.”
Thankfully, that nice face of hers remained unpunched as she became an actress. Which you knew, but we need to include things like that to lead to the next section of the article.
Instead, when she was 15, she ran away to become an actress and ended up in maudlin, soul-searchathon, Dawson’s Creek.
“I started doing plays when I was eight. I always wanted to act. At 16, I moved away to Los Angeles. [Emancipation] is basically like divorcing them. You have to prove that you are emotionally and financially stable and independent. You have to have graduated high school and you have to prove that you can live alone.
“I did one commercial at first every six months and that was enough.”
And now she’s all set to play Marilyn Monroe in ‘My Week with Marilyn’ and all that junk.

You should also feature the image of Michelle Williams from Destiny’s Child to avoid confusion.

If she wanted to go toe-to-toe with Mike Tyson all she had to do was go out on a date with him.
