MR.T RETIRES GOLD BLING

A-Team bad boy Mr. T hangs it up.

The legendary mohawked gold chain wearing thesp - real name - Laurence Tureaud - claims he retired his bling in 2005 out of respect for Hurricane Katrina's victims.

"As a Christian I said I would never wear my own gold again because of what happened with Hurricane Katrina," T told NY Daily News.

"It would be a sin against God for me to wear my gold when so many people lost everything.

"Sure, it's my trademark, but I am the same person whether I'm wearing the gold or not. My moral values are the same.

"The gold don't make me, I make the gold."
