Mike Tyson is no stranger to grabbing a quick bite, but on Monday the boxer took a long late lunch with Bobby Brown.
The unlikely lunch fellows treated themselves to a fancy seafood meal in Beverly Hills, California.
Obviously sampling as much as possible from the Crustacean by House of An eatery, the pair had to take a break, with Mike enjoying a miniature cigar and Bobby a cigarette.

Both men are sporting much fuller figures these days, but while many may have struggled to recognise Bobby, there was no missing Mike.
The 47-year-old could never be mistaken for anyone else thanks to his distinctive tribal facial tattoo, which is almost as fierce as the former heavyweight champion's reputation.
For his seafood lunch, the Hangover star - who has previously claimed to be vegan - wore blue jeans with a navy T-shirt and a leather suit jacket.

Walking in the fighter did not wear the jacket showing off his still impressive arms, but then covered up inside the establishment.
Also looking a far cry from his glory days when he was the heartthrob of the RNB scene of the late Eighties and early Nineties, Bobby donned a striped shirt with dark denim jeans and Adidas shell toe sneakers.
While the pair was enjoying their smoke break, a woman recognised the famous boxer and struck up a conversation.

At first Bobby appeared to look on enviously - no doubt wishing he too had been recognised - before the woman asked the pair to be in a photo.

While the pair may seem an odd combination both have faced similar trials and tribulations in their lives.

Both men have struggled with substance abuse problems and alcoholism with Mike revealing in August he was on the 'verge of dying because I'm a vicious alcoholic'.
The pair have also spent time in prison with Whitney Houston's former husband jailed last year following his third DUI conviction and Mike landed behind bars for sexual assault in 1992, assaulting two motorists in 1999 and in 2007 for cocaine possession and driving under the influence.
Recently Mike has found success as a comedian performing a one man show about his life and starring in The Hangover.
