Mike Tyson claims he was sexually abused as a child.
The 48-year-old retired boxer was "snatched" off the street when he was seven by an "old man", who he never saw again after the shocking one-time incident.
Speaking on SiriusXM's Opie Radio show, he said: "He snatched me off the street. I was a little kid...[he was an] old man.
"He bullied me, sexually abused me and stuff. Never seen him again."
Mike - who has been married three times and has six children - managed to escape but never told anyone what had happened.
He said: "I just went on with my life."
And the controversial sportsman - who spent three years in jail after being convicted of rape in 1992 - is unsure whether or not the attack changed him.
Asked if he had changed as a result of the abuse, he said: "I don't know if it did or not.
"I don't always remember, but maybe I do but I don't. I'm not ashamed or embarrassed by it."
The 'Hangover' actor recently admitted he used to share a drug dealer with the late Robin Williams, who committed suicide in August.
He said: "I knew Robin. We'd meet each other. People that deal with this situation, we know each other. We all know each other. We meet each other. I've been at a meeting with him, yes.
"This is very interesting. When I met him he said, 'I was waiting for you.' And he started telling me about somebody I was purchasing something from ... You look up to Robin so in my mind I'm saying to myself, 'How does he know this low-life dealer that I know?' "

Katie Price expects her house to fill with ghosts because her previous homes have been haunted.
The 36-year-old star recently moved into a nine-bedroom mansion in west Sussex, south east England, with her husband Kieran Hayler and five children, and is convinced the plush property will soon become plagued with ghouls because the spirits seem to follow her.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "All my other houses have been haunted.
"It seems to follow me round. This house probably soon will be."
However, the mother-of-five seems to be doing everything she can to welcome the ghosts into her home, having recently thrown an elaborate Halloween party for her friends and family which saw her dress up as a terrifying skeleton.
The outspoken businesswoman decided to take up residence in the new property, just 30 metres from her previous abode, to escape negative memories after Kieran cheated on her with her pals Jane Pountney and Chrissy Thomas.
She recently said: "I left my stress at the old house with all the memories of Jane Pountney and Kieran in there, so I was glad to leave. I hate the old house, there are so many bad memories of Kieran cheating.
"I wanted to get out of the house because I hate walking in the kitchen and knowing they'd been in there together. I was finding things like that hard."

Amanda Bynes has been released from a psychiatric treatment facility.
The 'Easy A' actress was spotted walking around Sunset Strip, West Hollywood, last night (30.10.14), 19 days after she was admitted to the hospital in Pasadena, California, for 30 days.
According to gossip website TMZ, Amanda asked a hearing officer if she could be released from the facility on Thursday and the official granted her wish.
The 28-year-old star was said to have headed to a diner, where she ate a meal consisting of fried chicken, salmon and two types of salad with various dressings.
This comes after it was reported on Monday (27.10.14) that doctors had convinced a judge to extend her 30-day treatment for another 30 days because she is "very ill".
What's more, Amanda's parents Lynn and Rick Bynes are said to have obtained a conservatorship for their daughter in court after telling a judge she had been spending "alarming amounts" of money on gifts of jewellery for strangers.
In the legal documents, recently obtained by TMZ, the actress' parents say she is a "substantial risk" to herself and others, explaining her recent erratic behaviour, including shoplifting and an arrest for driving under the influence (DUI) last month.
Amanda spent five months in a treatment facility in July 2013 when she was placed under involuntary psychiatric hold.
She was released in December and appeared to be getting her life back on track until a conservatorship giving her mother control of her affairs came to an end last month.

Lindsay Lohan is being sued for over $60 million.
A website developer has filed a case against the 'Mean Girls' actress and her brother Michael in which he accused them of stealing one of his ideas.
According to Fima Potik, the pair agreed to work with him on Spotted Friend - which would give users a glimpse into celebrities' closets - but then took the idea to another investor and launched an app called Vigme, which he describes as a "carbon copy" of his website.
According to TMZ, the developer claims he received a text message from Michael saying he wanted a bigger cut of the company or else.
Potik is seeking over $60 million in damages and wants Vigme to be shut down.
Meanwhile, Lindsay's friends The Wanted have pledged to keep an eye on the troubled star while she gets her career back on track starring in London stage show 'Speed-the-Plow'.
Tom Parker told The Sun newspaper: "I chatted to her a couple of days ago because I saw a photo of her in a newspaper staggering out of a nightclub.
"I wanted to check she was OK, so I asked her what she was doing.
"She told me she had simply fallen over and I was like, 'Really?'
"She's had a rough time but she's a sweet girl and a great actress.
"None of us want to see her go back to that dark place."
Earlier this week, the 28-year-old actress - who previously dated The Wanted's Max George - missed a matinee performance of the show after falling ill, but despite warning fans she was "down for the count" and would also miss the evening show, she made it on stage for the second performance of the day.

Russell Brand plans to give away his future earnings.
The 39-year-old star insists he "doesn't need" to make money for himself anymore so wants to use his fortune to help those in need.
He told Vanity Fair magazine: "I have decided that I don't need to make any money anymore.
"The money that I get, I'm going to use for the establishment of community centres, which will sell good food and provide a place for people to hang out: initially, a service for people recovering from drug addiction, but also an incubator for social enterprises, where people will work, on a not-for-profit basis, in a wide variety of trades."
Russell is releasing a new book, 'Revolution', in which he implores for a social and political revolution and he admits he is worried about how some people - particularly readers in the US - will react to his ideas.
He said: "I recently did the audiobook, and when I read the stuff on America, I thought, 'Oh my God, I'm gonna get f**kin' shot! 'Cause it's very easy to be reductive. And it doesn't matter how many times I say, 'I'm not talking about the American people.'
"I've lived in America. I've driven across America in a recreation of Kerouac's journey and know the American people. I don't hate America."
However, the 'Arthur' star - who was famously sacked from his BBC Radio 2 show for leaving a series of lewd answerphone messages for actor Andrew Sachs - insists he would rather be slammed for his political ideals than some of his previous misunderstood pranks.
He added: "It's better than just people having a go at me for leaving a silly answer-phone message. Or saying that George W. Bush is like a 'retarded cowboy fella.'
"I mean, the opprobrium rains down. At least now it's about something I really believe in, and something that is true. The information's there for anyone who wants it. America is an incredible country. Amazing experiment of a nation."

Aston Merrygold bought a collection of Burberry baby clothes for J.B. Gill's newborn child.
The 26-year-old star splashed out on the high-end fashion attire for his former bandmate and wife Chloe's one-month-old son Ace, and the clothes were all miniature versions of the garments J.B. is often see wearing.
Chloe said: "He turned up at the hospital the first time with a massive bag containing a hamper of Burberry baby clothes - [miniatures] of the things J wears, such as classic little waistcoats and cool shirts."
J.B. added: "He'd got the shop assistants to pad them out, so it looked like a baby was wearing them."
But J.B. insists his son will not be wearing his new top notch fashion items when he takes the little one onto his farm in Kent, south east England, to see the pigs.
The singer-turned-farmer added to HELLO! magazine: "He said to us, 'Now he's all set for the farm.' We were like, 'Ast, mate, he's not out wearing Burberry when he's hanging out with the pigs.'
"Aston loves babies and he's so good with them."

Pierce Brosnan funded his big break in acting by taking out a second mortgage on his central heating.
The 61-year-old star has revealed his late wife Cassandra Harris - who died from ovarian cancer aged 43 in 1991 - encouraged him to move to Los Angeles with her so that he could try to make it big in the movie industry, and the change paid off.
He said: "It was my late wife, God bless her, who said we should go to America, and somehow we took out a second mortgage on the central heating, and we went to Los Angeles on a wing and a prayer."
The former James Bond actor - who has appeared in 'Mrs. Doubtfire', 'Mars Attacks!' and 'Mamma Mia!' - landed his breakthrough role in US TV series 'Remington Steele' in 1982 and admits he based his acting style on Cary Grant by carefully studying the late Hollywood legend's movies.
He added to Loaded magazine: "The first audition I went on was for 'Remington Steele', and I got the job. And I had no idea what to do.
"Bob Butler was the director, and he said, 'It's an old movie.' So I looked at Cary Grant movies and tried to be Cary Grant."

Ariana Grande and Big Sean are reportedly taking their relationship to the next level.
The 26-year-old rapper is keen to take his girlfriend back to his hometown of Detroit, Michigan.
A source told HollywoodLife.com: "He wants to take her to Detroit to meet all his friends and family there. He's proud of her."
The 'Break Free' hitmaker confirmed the romance earlier this month, calling her new boyfriend "amazing".
She said: "He is one of the most amazing men in the world, and that includes my grandfather and my brother.
"I think the world of him, and he's an amazing person. That's kind of all there is to it."
Meanwhile, the 'Beware' hitmaker has spoken out, too, to praise his 21-year-old girlfriend.
He said recently: "Ariana's very very special, and she's very special to me.
"Everything she has going on is good with her, everything I have going on is good with me, everything between me and her is good, and I'm just going to leave it at that."
Earlier this month, the couple were seen kissing on a rollercoaster.
They had taken a trip to Universal Studios in Hollywood and shared a kiss on the 'Revenge Of The Mummy' ride before being spotted holding hands as they walked round the park.
