Mike Tyson was early to the social media game, and he recently launched his own emoji sticker app.

But when it comes to movies, Tyson apparently can't resist a good old-fashioned love story.

Tyson participated in a recent UPROXX interview in which he answered questions on everything from his favorite drink to his favorite animal. But the best part came when Tyson was asked what movie he can't resist watching if it's on TV.

Mike Tyson can't resist ... The Notebook.

Yep. You read that correctly.

So if you consider yourself a big softie because channel surfing frequently devolves into a tears-and-Kleenex fest while Allie and Noah work out their issues, then think again!

Turns out Mike Tyson does that exact same thing too.
