[CesMan83]

Mickey Rourke, my acting idol! He's the Man...he should really consider teaching acting professionally b/c he makes his talent look seriously easy!

[milimambo]

I rekon hes got such a sexy voice

[octoslut]

awesome actor, damn directors should take him more.

[juices1234]

I want an explanation of how the fuck this guys performance was less than slumdog millionaire... Witnessing the ressurection of Mickey Rourke needed to be marked and rewarded its a damn shame that tradtional hollywood won again.

[chotonchivas]

stupid old man

[mtgfa]

[xjungfreud]

Great interview, I thought the "breath of fresh water" was an interesting slip.

[fwin0904]

I love Mickey Rourke. He may have been in the career doldrums for the best part of a decade, but he's a f*cking legend. Such a cool guy!

[dococolo]

how he talks and tells, that´s soo true and soo important!!

cause that´s life, that´s sometimes fucking hard life!!

aronofsky and rourke are soo good true!!

[sunshineinca]

His real life is a movie!!!!!!!

[redcarpetceleb]

hes so adorable and down to earth - at the beginning when he says "is that a hint to take them off" (the glasses) - hes a true hollywood star

[Epicureum]

Micky Rourke es un actor increíble, uno de los más grandes de Hollywood. Me alegro de que por fin le sea reconocida su inmensa categoría artística.

[helendqueen]

A lovely, honest man

One of my fave actors. Good luck, Mr. Rourke!!!

[duckyyyyymaaaaaaaann]

Mickey you are my idol, redemption, and you cameback from being at the lowest!

[cholitashishi]

Me encanta su look, ese cabello desordenado y todo el... formidable interpretacion, la mejor pelicula del año sin duda...

[ChrisMiran]

Pauly Shore?

[SKATHAROZOUMISS]

I LOVE MICKEY

[beatlebug1966]

Mickey Rourke is one of the most brilliant actors in Hollywood. I've been a fan since his beginning and I'm glad he's back on top...where he should be. His performance in Barfly will always be my favorite...and his performance in the Wrestler has basically matched that. I just hope he wins the Oscar this year....it will make up for The Oscars stupidity for not giving him the award 20 plus years ago for Barfly.....woo hoo

[sauvecards]

the movie really is amazing, sin city saved his career.

[milimambo]

He was pretty good in spun too

[volcomanchor]

he's from the outsiders, correct?

[AcidCakes]

No, but he was in Rumble Fish, another classic flick.

[JamaicaSugar]

Ralph Macchio?

[ToeIn2194]

Authentic...which is what lots of us crave.There is not a false note in his performance or in his realness.Painful to face yourself,often.

[mbss28]

I still think he is a sexy devil!!!!

[kobergs]

incredible movie.

incredible dialog with his daughter.

incredible actor.

period.

[iggy245]

Tell me can you ask for anything more?

[dovefromabove20]

sometimes we all have to lose ourselves in order to find ourselves. i think he's done that,"if i could fall out of the sky" for you mickey i would.juls x

[BlueRoseRocketBand2]

it is about time. love this guy.

I think he has done alot of good work.

boxing and the inner demons took it's toll but like the man said

"If it doesn't kill you it will make you stronger"

[lojikop]

he's the shit, always liked him

[dreakefr]

Best drug victim on screen. Love this guy.

[12OunceStudios]

what is this movie about

comedy or drama

[atheistasylum]

We love you Mickey. Stay out of trouble.

[Darkkitty25]

he kinda looks like the joker from the dark knight with out make up

[bigboss25262]

LOL, he kinda does.

[disorderdecades]

dreed007

you should really eat shit.

[hiberniate]

Really though, the man has balls. Fair dues to him, respoect.

[hiberniate]

Great guy. He says it like it is. Well done, Mickey.

[boo1312]

I went to see The Wresler yesterday and I thought he gave a awsome performace.

[dreed007]

What a creepy looking douche bag. He looks like a cross betweeen Jack Nicholson and Lindsay Lohan. Or maybe his buddy John Gotti the murderer warmed over

[ortleyman]

A really applaud Mickey Rourke for owning up for his mistakes and admitting when your down and out you can't come back on your own and this agent brought him back. He is very lucky and seems extremely greatful for the second chance not too many people get when they fuck up. I'm happy for him because he genuinely seems at peace with himself.

[vgitman]

dreed007

you are one stupid FUCK

[mindstormsabrewin]

I understand that alot of people can't get over the fact that he damaged his face with all that boxing, then surgery. But I think he still looks cool. He will still be cool 20 years from now. A true artist. Not a rehearsed, pretty boy, empty head. He is on the artist's journey, which is rough. I'm proud of him. He deserves all the success an actor can receive. I hope he wins the oscar too. It's long overdue.

[mbss28]

Well put statement about Mickey Rourke!

I totally agree!

[cjason123]

sin city was awesome. the most memorable scenes were with him getting all cut up and running, etc.

[gukaizhi]

Good grad Mickey. I wish we could see Pacino or Deniro give us a performance like that these days.

They're so bored with themselves it's a shame.

And I find he does'nt look so bad now that his surgeries have had time to relax. Let's hope he lives that alone from now on.

Great performance in the wrestler. I wish him the best for the oscars.

[52barney]

Boxing and Acting are the two most

courageous activities a man can take part in.

Mickey has excelled at both....nuff said.

[fjinnah32]

not only did I love Mickey Rourke's performance, I am so happy that this story got told. This movie reminds me of all the stories Brett Hart told. Brett is such an insightful and sensitive man..the deli part in this movie reminds me of a Brett Hart interview.

[yogi4santi]

Congrats Im glad he won he truly is an amazing actor I cant wait to see this movie.

[dbqgal40]

Supremely talented actor! Mickey, way to go! Brilliant performance!

[audreey23]

Great voice.

[Bandit145]

Even if Rourke is an asshole, which he proly isn't, his performance was damn good. He deserves best actor at the oscars and he deserved the golden globe. No one else this year was even on the same level.

[entyceit]

I thought he was awesome on Sin City.

[ganjalord]

That's when I knew he was back. Should have gotten nominated from then.

[HornyLee19]

congrats to my man, mickey! you finally got the long deserved BIG award you earned many years ago!!

[mrfunderful]

You'd think that more people in Hollywood would remember a talent such as Mickey Rourke and recognize the fact that nobody is perfect and that second chances are always given to people who don't deserve it. Well, Mickey deserves it.  Hollywood has a short memory, and that's just sad. People like Darren Aronofsky are few and far between.

I just wish there were more forgiving people out there today.

[dreed007]

Rourke's an asshole. He aught to be where his friend John Gotti is.

[MortalAndKnowingIt]

why the fuck do you say shit like that ??? don't diss the man....

[PierWilson]

Sylvester Stallone and Mickey Rourke are Gods!...

[NekoKurimu]

Great interview.

We all make mistakes, the point is to learn from them. Way to Go Mickey!!!

[GMPNY]

THIS is the MOST real man in show business, down to earth and a regular guy. Mickey your the MAN! YOU ARE HOT! Take it with all the pride and love from Schenectady New York behind you all the way baby!!!

[GMPNY]

So PROUD of you Mickey! Schenectady NEW YORK is BEAMING this morning my friend. God Blessed you again, run with it, enjoy all you have you lucky, lucky man!!!

[fifbeat]

Great interview. Thanks for posting.

[jmarca]

Great movie. Great performance. Deserved award.

[Chris557]

Is he a fish? How come at 8:30 he says "This has been like a breath of fresh WATER"?

[IcyB]

An ode to professional wrestlers everywhere.
