@evelskunny he had 5 reconstructive nose surgerys, having cartridge from one of his hears transplanted. That was because of his boxing carrer, not out of vanity. May I recomend "Inside the Actor Studio - Mickey Rourke"? Anyway, a great actor, but on top of that, a great man.
u know what I love about Tavis Smiley show...Tavis remembers of a psychologist's session who goes very keen and gentle into his guests souls...at the same time making them give deliberately very informative and intimate aspects of his special guests and! if u have recognized..they become very honest with him...thank u Tavis :)
In an interview with Piers Morgan, Mickey said that when he retired he was only two fights away from a bout for World Boxing Organisation title in the Cruiserweight division. I emailed the WBO and suggested it consider making Rourke an honorary WBO champion. No reply.
I am really happy for Mickey to be back, he really sounds a renewed man, very comfortable in his own skin and full of wisdom. He frequently says he self-distructed, maybe boxing was the best way he had to fight those inner demons that were persecuting him. I'm glad he's back stronger. x
I'm so grateful that an actor like Mickey Rourke is back and doing his thing right now. I feel like we have someone up there, right now, doing work on the level of Brando (when he cared about acting). When I saw "The Wrestler" I wondered if this was how people felt back in the 50's when they first saw "On the Waterfront" on the screen. Maybe now people will go back and watch "Barfly" and see what Rourke was capable of 20 years ago.
Mickey is like, the last real man left in Hollywood...he is humble, honest, a seriously gifted actor and still has a rough sex appeal...he is amazing....and I love the outfit, too! Take care of yourself, Mick! Happy Birthday from someone who loves you!
His face is a result of his time as a boxer. He got several scars such as " split tounge... broken nose so they had to use skin from his ear and so on. "
plus his doctor told him to stop boxing cause his brain couldnt take much more. So as you can see at times. His memory aint that great. And he has a bad balance when hes tired. So yeah he aint cassanova. But considered his past, he looks like champ.
yea, he aint a 'pretty boy' anymore...but the thing that I think makes him attractive is that he's accepted the fact that he looks his age..he isnt trying to recapture the pretty days. I mean, the guy is an actor...and even with all the criticism about how much of one he may or may not be, he knows that his real value is revealed in how he can HIDE in 'every man' characters. Dont wanna make him out to be Brando or whatever but I gotta think he's past the "look at how pretty I am" stage.
Agree with darlingveronica...we all fall short...we all screw up but a humble man will learn, accept, adjust, grow and go on....Hat 's off to Mickey.....he's a good example not just to Hollywood but to all men everywhere...
He trained, as a young actor, at the Actors Studio. That takes a lot of discipline...It appears that he was disciplined in developing a craft, and the skills to be able to use his talent. He's a "big guy" to share that he had some hard lessons in discipline, as a professional... that life is about growing and learning, even as an adult. I am so glad he's back acting, once again, he gifts us all.
One day Holliwood will make a movie about his life.I can't see happenning with people like Brad Pitt,Clooney,Damon...

PoochMount18 1 year ago
funny how when he was on top, he didn't want it and threw it all away.
Now that he is on the bottom , he appreciates his craft now. I think the life lesson
Mick learned was humility and respect. good luck to a legend in the making...
