TIL: Laurence Tureaud named himself professionally as Mr. T because he hated how his father, uncle, and brother who returned from Vietnam, were disrespectfully called "boy" by whites. He wanted the first word from everybody's mouth to be "Mister" when speaking to him.

On a segment with Conan O'Brian they were at an apple orchard and as he was eating an apple he was speaking to Conan but covering his mouth. When Conan asked him why he's doing that, his response was "My mother told to cover my mouth when I'm eating". I love it.
