The Wanted have struck an unlikely friendship - with controversial boxer-turned-actor Mike Tyson.
Max, Siva, Tom, Nathan and Jay impressed 'The Hangover' actor when they appared on Ellen's talkshow last year.
According to MTV, The Wanted's American Manager Scooter Braun later called up
"Mikes people" and arranged for the group to have a night out on the town.
Referencing 'The Hangover', Max joked “[I want] chill on his tiger,” before adding “[That's] not a euphemism".
Tom also told The Sun : "I can't believe Mike Tyson wants to take us out in Las Vegas. All I keep thinking about is his part in The Hangover — it'll be The Hangover Part 3 with The Wanted boys.
"He wants to show us all the bars, clubs and hotels, it will be sick."
Although Tom, Max, Siva and Jay will have a good time, poor Nathan will have to miss out - he's not old enough to drink in America.
"I feel a bit sorry for Nath — he'll have to stay in while we're getting hammered," Tom added. "It'll be like the early days when he was 16 and we were out all the time." Cheeky Tom later joked "I still think he's a little inexperienced in the bird department, so I'm hoping to get him a nice American one,"
"Nath would really benefit from getting with an older woman. She'd teach him a thing or two."
There's always The Wanted Cougar's Nath!

Here they are - back at it again. 3 months after their debut US gig
at the Gramercy Theatre in NYC, the boys are back in town! More like..
the boys are back with a 10 date, 1 month tour across the United
States. After their television debut on Ellen, the band kicked off their
national tour in Orlando, Florida and traveled north - hitting Washington
DC, NYC, Philadelphia and visiting local radio stations, schools, night
clubs, and children hospitals along the way. With Philly the fourth stop on the tour, the boys are doing well by selling out every single date thus far. Fans have already stood hours in line each show hoping to be lucky enough to get a spot in front of the stage. Impressive? I'd say so...
For what it now seems as tradition, the guys opened up with Behind Bars - a track off their debut UK album. Much like their gig at Gramercy, they followed with their other hits, such as Lose My Mind and Heart Vacancy. The connection and interaction these guys make with fans is unbelievable and unique - you don't see it that often. It's mesmerizing to see them make so much effort to make someone feel so special in a large crowd.
In addition to the singles from their debut album, they sang both released and un-released tracks off Battleground (their second album released November 4, 2011). Lightning, the second released single from the album, debuted at #2 in the UK charts back in October. Possible U.S. release? We'll see... Invicible has a club-like, electronic feel. A definite hit? Absolutely. If the crowd wasn't already awake, they were now. Slowing it down a little, they went right into Rocket; a track with very relatable lyrics and an easy crowd pleaser. They also sang their very popular 2011 charity single, Gold Forever, and their current single from the album, Warzone - a song about a "cheating cow", as Nathan delicately put it.
The performance also included an acoustic set. With guitars and a bass ready to go, the guys belted out their fantastic renditions of Animal (Neon Trees cover) and Iris (Goo Goo Dolls cover). Having seen these guys perform before, this bit never gets old... and it never will. Probably one of the best renditions of each I've heard.
When you're in Philadelphia, it's a given most artists will rap out the theme to the Fresh Prince. The Wanted didn't make it any different. Holding the mics out to the crowd and the drums joining it, safe to say the crowd gave them an impromptu rap performance. "Can I just say," says Jay, "that we just sung that in Philadelphia."
The set ended with an energy-filled performance of their debut UK single, All Time Low - which entered the charts at #1 in July 2010, and is currently available for download in the U.S. iTunes store. Leaving and coming back on for an encore, the band proudly introduced Glad You Came as their debut U.S. single. It was also the #1 charted, debut single in the UK from Battleground. It is currently (and quickly!) climbing the charts both on Billboard and U.S. iTunes.
According to their chat with Philadelphia's Q102 (Check out their webchat here), they are planning on a U.S. release of Battleground coming this summer. Rumors are also circulating of a possible duet with Rihanna and another visit to the States this summer. If you don't think they'll make it......... guess again.
