For a guy who was punched in the face countless times, he had such a great smile.

He surely did.

He seemed like a really nice guy.

Years back, I saw a TV series where George Forman, William Shatner, Henry Winkler, Terry Bradshaw & Jeff Dye traveled to different countries exploring different cultures, foods, etc. A lot of times they were pulled out of their comfort zones. The series was really funny & you saw a different side to the famous personalities than their usual TV persona.

I really enjoyed seeing that side of George Forman.

Rest in Peace Mr Forman!

Wow! I totally forgot about that show! The missus and I loved it.

It was very entertaining!

Now that it's come up, I'll probably watch it again. I think you can view it on NBC.com.
