Well, I was a boxer before I was an actor and I wanted to do it one more time. So I took five years off and went all through Europe and Asia.

I did that for me because I always enjoyed sports more than I did acting. I used to play a lot of baseball and I missed the competitiveness of sports because there’s not much competition as an actor.

I wanted to do it competitively one more time, but because it was boxing, it sort of backfired in the industry because they looked at it as something more destructive.

I mean, there were a lot of other things that I could’ve done that were more unhealthy than to go back and box. And, yeah, I got nicked up a little bit and this, that and the other…

But still, I didn’t look at it as anything destructive.
