Why is Mr. T famous? Because he pities the fools and doesn’t put up with any jibba jabba!
For about ten years, Mr. T was a bodyguard to the stars, protecting such well-known personalities as Muhammad Ali, Steve McQueen, Michael Jackson, Bruce Lee, Joe Frazier, and Diana Ross. He charged around $3,000 a day and his business card famously read, “Next to God, there is no greater protector than I.”
During his stint as a doorman, he would take jewelry from disorderly people and wear it himself as a testament to how well he performed his job as a bouncer. At one point, his gold chains, rings, and bracelets were worth about $300,000.
In 1982 Mr. T was spotted by Sylvester Stallone while taking part in “The World’s Toughest Bouncer” contest with Lee Dittrich. His role in Rocky III was originally intended as just a few lines, but Stallone built up the part around the man. His catch phrase, “I pity the fool!” comes from the film, where he played a boxer facing Rocky Balboa in a match. When asked if he hated Rocky, he replied, “I don’t hate Balboa, but I pity the fool.”
In 1984 released a rap album titled Mr. T’s Commandments much in the same tone as his 1984 educational video which instructs children to stay in school and to stay away from drugs. Watch the music video for Treat Your Mother Right.
