I really believe the most amazing, powerful people are those who can be totally honest, own their own truth and learn from experiences.
Mickey has a great sense of humour, mixed with the darkness of someone who has gone through a whole heap of shit and come out the other side, a better person.
If people are completely honest and real others have no power over them, sadly most of society can not handle this level of directness or honestly.
Great interview! Ever since the Pope of Greenich Village, I've admired this man's acting. Seems like a nice person as well. I'm so glad he's back to making movies, because he is at the very top of my short list.
I'm sorry for repeating what so many others have written but this is the best Mickey Interview I have seen. I'm so glad I found it. Thanks for posting.
This was one of the best interviews I have seen. I missed this one until I found it. Your interviews tell it from the heart and soul. Please don't let the fame hurt you again. God Bless you. Mickey
I really thought I was following all the interviews of Mickey from September, 2008, but somehow I missed this one... And you know what, IT"S THE BEST ONE!
Loved Mickey before, missed him while he was "gone", and now ecstatic he is BACK!! One of the best actors, and this was a really touching, honest, and inspiring interview. I can't wait to see what he has in store for us in the years to come! Thanks for posting this!
Thank you so much for posting this interview. I don't know where you found it, but thank you! You are a gentleman and a scholar, (provided you aren't equipt with a vagina like me! HAHAHAHA!) :-)
Profound, hard-won wisdom and knowledge. This man is a POWERHOUSE! I am completely blown away by this level of honesty and self-disclosure. So rare to encounter someone like this man.
Mickey, I respect you and you are the most honest actor that I have ever seen!!! Whether you win or not, you will always be a winner to all your fans!!! You won your respect back!!!
This guy is turned inside/out - he has no protecive coating - there's no act. God, I hope he takes care of himself with the spotlight shining on him again. "The Wrestler" was a masterpiece - no one else could have done what he did in that part.
Thank you for your reply, ukgirlonce. I'm not sure who did the interview, but kudos to him for doing it. I believe it was posted back in November. All five parts of this interview were incredible! I was finally able to go see The Wrestler yesterday and have to admit; I cried a few times throughout the movie. However, there are moments that make you smile too. I hope Mickey Rourke wins the Oscar this year.
Thanks for posting this. I wonder what Loki or Jaws were doing he kept glancing over! And who was on a microphone. As we all know he won the globe. I may see the Wrestler now. I never was a fan but loved Diner. I think it was an honest interview you dont get from Hollywood types. Will he close up and be like plastic when fame returns? Remains to be seen. But I wish him the best and say he had guts to admit he messed up. And sought guidence that I fear seeking.
Mickey, I can completely relate with your story and if I could, I would hug you. Unfortunately, I understand the battle of issues in life, the absolute pain, lonliness and hopelessness. However, I also understand the everlasing love for your dogs. My dog is the love of my life too! I really admire your acting, but especially admire you for the person that you are. You've come a long way, baby and I'm soo proud of you! You truly are the BEST. I love you, Mickey. God Bless you.
Very cool guy. He's been to hell and back and he's a better man for it.

I understand Mickey's loyalty to Michael Cimino but honestly, aside from The Deer Hunter Cimino's body of work is extremely underwhelming.

Beautiful dude. So good to observe a human who's waded through a mountain of shit and come out the other side wise and humble... and strong.
