Controversial Mr. T Movie the A-Team Star Couldn't Stand Hits Netflix Today
Mr. T says the film focuses on his toughest moments while overlooking his Make-A-Wish work, military service and anti-drug advocacy.
- On Tuesday, Netflix released Untold: I Pity the Fool, a documentary profiling 74-year-old Laurence Tureaud. Tureaud criticized the film, arguing it reduced his life to a one-dimensional tough-guy image.
- Directed by Scott Weintrob, the film chronicles Tureaud's journey from a Chicago housing project to Hollywood success in Rocky III and The A-Team. However, Tureaud stated the documentary glosses over his philanthropic work and religious faith.
- Criticizing the production, Tureaud told The Guardian the film is "garbage," citing its focus on embarrassing moments like his role as the "Bearded Lady" in Freaked. He also claimed the director ignored requests to review footage.
- Tureaud expressed frustration that his pastor's interview, conducted over two days, resulted in just 30 seconds on screen. He alleged Weintrob's team attempted to "change the story and control the narrative."
- Beyond Hollywood, the documentary touches on Tureaud's battle with T-cell lymphoma and his past advocacy work, including participation in Nancy Reagan's Just Say anti-drug campaign. These efforts remain central to his legacy view.
