The dark side of fame- Mickey Rourke part 1

[SovereignBeing]

Mickey in Rumblefish, omg the sublimity of the purity. less is definately more here and he had, me for one, totally smitten at 14, as the ultimate actor in the ultimate role, Rourke is the real deal..

[slobomotion]

Uprated.

[Aqilg]

he is the best man, actor in hollywood! he is very kind and handsome!

[seattle0002]

Can't hear shit. Thumbs down.

[Nautilus1972]

Not Piers fucking Morgan! What a cunt.

[francucumber]

I really thought micky was oing to hit piers after the first few questions. I wish he had

[mkdjksh]

makes me wanna kick his step dad's ass

[brucekirk89]

my father never phys abused me but mental beat my ass everyday with his religion and shoving it down my neck all the time,and we moved everytime the rent was due aslo

[5515mark]

Loved him in Pope. Along with Pacino in Carlito's Way, probably the best portrayal of NY street guy. Good luck to him in the future.

[OMDSouvenir]

3:55 music name?

[xsnokex]

@OMDSouvenir song's called "Roads" by Portishead. very good song.

[internalpeaceseeker]

he doesn't wanna talk about it this interviewer is a prick

[nokia3210fuck]

the volume is too low

[kashvenali]

agree with devastate. Mickey had the acting universe at his fingertips and he flushed it all down because of personal demons. Mickey seems like he NEEDS to F-up to keep it real. Sad, but glad to see him comeback. As a teen we all wanted to be this dude. Cool and tough but not a pretty boy. Quiet confidence that spoke echoes over words. you are a HERO dude, sensitive like James dean was...

This dude is a legend..

[devastateurface]

Welcome to the club, Mickey. Lots of us got clobbered and abused as kids. But you took looks that any of us would kill for and threw it down the toilet. Why.

[Shendue]

@devastateurface: People are different and have different reactions to thrauma. Somebody just can't let go and is scarred for life. Other people becomes totally fucked up, and someone else becomes amazingly caring and nice to other people.

[thisnotmyname]

Shame he didn't snap that cunt Morgan's neck.

[Chaos3742]

I'm speechless, only respect for Mickey !

[meloearth]

Damn it, it keeps freezing @07:59!

[pshinspections]

Fix your audio and re-post.

[lostmyshoes80]

PIers Morgan is a [worst swearword on the planet]

[gibbousmoon100]

@ravingpurist: Smoke like a chimney and you can have a voice just like his. It sounds more damaged to me than deep.

[ritter89]

@gibbousmoon100 Actually, I think it's the smoking and perhaps some steroid use, as well. Not sure if he uses at the moment. Also his voice in films has always been different from his speaking voice. As much as Mickey plays the tough guy, he's actually very shy, sensitive and aware of himself. He played into that sex symbol image during the early part of his career and the high, sorta whispering voice was all part of the package (i've been a fan for yrs so I'm not mocking him)

[alwaysforeverable]

these fuckin reporters just ask for a punch in the mouth..they dont know when to let up.....

[Deseroka]

Barfky was based on Charles Bukowski's life, not written by him. He was a great poet tho. I think Mickey should have gotten an award for this performance. Someone once said that if he had died after doing "Angel Heart" he would have been the "new" James Dean. The dude has talent in a major way.

[luvchiild]

hes badass

[ravingpurist]

look I gotta say, even as a straight guy, Mickey rourke's got a sexy voice. I wish my voice was that deep

[Deseroka]

Nickey's still hot! We all age & change, but true "beauty" shines on thru!

[earlyblue]

nickey??? it`s mickey

[nardeldarf]

Is it true Mickey Rourke and Norah Jones are getting married?

[kanedasrifle]

ha ha

so true dude.

the sounds awful.

is there a better quality version anywhere?

[Silvertrine]

Could the sound possibly be any worse? Sounds like I have my ear pressed agains the wall and am trying to hear this in another room.

[lailyasri]

he was good looking guy

[xXTheSockRockerXx]

Why the fuck is Morgan doing this...he isn't a film critic, he is only interested on the fame of Rourke and what it did to him the scumbag. I'm willing to bet that if Morgan didn't print some shit on Rourke back in the day he would have fired 3 guys to do so.

What a slimey little fucker, Rourke is above this.

[jazzbo75]

Hes the best actor in the world.

[ManlytearsUK]

Hes had his lips injected his eyebrows lifted many operations you fucktards and tons on his nose.

He also takes roids he even admitted taking them on the wrestler you failfag.

[giugnhgbvinierngvb89]

@ManlytearsUK true!

[internalpeaceseeker]

marlboro reds, i thougt so mickey

[MacPr0xnxx0]

he's been through a lot i have a lot of respect for mickey

[Khristina101WTF]

WTF Happen to my man Mickey...He was a fucking HEARTTHROB in the 80s and early 90s...Damn....Ya know how in his early career he'd always play the bad boy/ wealthy man who always gets the girls...and have steamy love scenes...Now the only thing he can come close to a Romantic Movie is "Beauty and the Beast" and its a fuck up thing to say...But man...He's stil one of my favorite actors..He looked good in Domino..I can only remember him for his role in 9 1/2 weeks..Hot..Sexy...Sensitive..­.Funny....

[ManlytearsUK]

Hes not even attractive now he looks like dog the bounty hunters nuttsack.

[rajnish89]

to be fair though, he's had his nose fixed pretty well even though it got broke 5 times.

[ManlytearsUK]

Hes had more than a nosejob his skin is fucked up and his lips were injected.

[rajnish89]

I suppose thats true as well!

[internalpeaceseeker]

his skin is not fucked up, take a look at his body, you'll never have it

[ManlytearsUK]

He ruined his own face by having surgery and doing boxing, also he wasnt that good looking to start with.

(also not american)

triple fail.

[Tiahur76]

that is the funniest thing I heard in a long time...I cn't stop laughing...hahahaha, I like mickey he is great....that is fucking funny....!!

[magikamerika]

As a woman I feel I have to tell this to my fellow girls...9 1/2 Weeks is THE hottest of allllllll time!!!!!!

[2pacandraf]

y? was mickey that hot in it?

[magikamerika]

oh dear god yeeeeeeeeeees! 9 1/2 weeks gets a bad wrap alot but it's really not that bad...and Mickey Rourke is very enjoyable to look at in the movie lol :)

[2pacandraf]

im jealous.. i wana my mickey

[avidalocan]

First thought I had when I saw him wearing the tights was PJs O Rourke!

[cynthiacher]

Even on his worst day, Mickey Rouke is better looking than P.J. O'Rourke.

[avidalocan]

But only one wears them!

[Papiprah]

Do you know what? Some adults should be castrated unless they prove to be fit human beings.. never mind becoming parents!

Sorry Mickey you had to go through hell, but you made it! Come on! Take my hat off for what you have achieved xx

[Xmaxify]

ya tell me about it I had a stepfather that used to beat my fucking brains in

Mickey Rourke is my favorite Actor and even though I didn't know that about him I could tell he had a rough upbringing its that fucking 6th sense shit. FTW

[helgaapeldoorn]

child abuse is pure evil. It fucks up an entire life.

[tooktuctuc]

Thanks for the comment man. Until you made it I had thought child abuse was way cool.

[lopeylopes]

What did you do....tape this of the television with a video camera? The quality blows!

[Jesse8501]

The hero worship for this guy is a little ridiculous

[hubiethesaint]

Hang in Mickey stand up guys we know our own!

[SuneTheMairn]

Thanks so much for posting this, too bad the quality is so poor... It's hard to make out what he says somtimes...

[nekotomikazuki]

thank you for posting this.

I'm vrery touched.

[mlgardens74]

The hillarious thing about him is his admitted ignorance about films and asting when he started. You think about the fact that he trained at the actor's studio and the string of neat movies he was in, Then he goes on to admit that his favourite actor was friggin Charles Bronson!!!!

[soniccage]

I think you missed the context ?

[ajurao1970]

the guy is just super cool ...he s won all after a lot of bruises ...real character he has

[matykoran]

I have total admiration and respect for this man.

[Dcrippl3r]

me 2 men, he's great

[pacovl46]

shit happens lol. steven seagal has actually 7 black dans in aikido which is really impressive

[prevsviren72]

I hope he wins the oscar but don't count Sean Penn.

[thedivys]

boy, can i relate to Mickey.

[horrorflesh]

Wtf!? Why is this recorded on a cam from a screen? Gimme a break here, and upload a better version of this legendary interview.

[stevespelling]

Definitely in the top ten of greatest all time screen actors.

[jijileila]

There is an article on NY Times where his stepfather says that hes making up everything about his life - that they were not poor, he was never close with his brother Joe when was young, and that mickey had always very good relations with him (and still does!!!).

I dont know what to think about it. In one hand i think he made up lots of thing in his life but in the other his stepdad seem to be quite tough guy in this interview...More strange is ive seen a photo of mickey partyin with dad in 2006

[IIINortonIII]

It is like in Angel Heart, he sold his soul to the devil. In the movie, devil came for his soul, but in reality, he have to pay for the sins of the past.

[thundersky6]

maybe the stepdad wanted his 15 minutes of fame.

[jijileila]

his sisters confirmed mickeys version, so it seems u are right

[thundersky6]

when/where did she confirm it?

[jijileila]

after this article published in some oficial declaration... There is google ;)

and sisters not one sister (his natural born sister and step or half sister -im not sure)

[jijileila]

according to Contactmusic it was in The Times

[thundersky6]

oh ok thanks

[worm082]

she also posted something on his wikipedia discussion page confiriming it

[jijileila]

yeah but it was diffrent sister ;)

[acmedressform]

of course he's a star, he's like a character staight out of a movie. When he talks it's like a scene from a gritty gangster type movie.

[danos1011]

there was always something deeper about any film Mickey Rourke was in. More than any other actor could ever muster. I hope he is Consistent with his comeback. He is bloody fantastic!!

[bigboss25262]

Greatest actor on earth right now second only to Daniel Day Lewis, but idk. That may change when The Wrestler comes out.

[Keshen8]

TRUE!

[pacovl46]

daniel day lewis, r u kidding me? i mean daniel is good but mickey's way better and not only mickey. how about pacino, de niro, chris walken, steven duvall, dustin hoffman and marlon brando?

[gohabsgo27]

who the f""" is Steven Duvall????

[pacovl46]

sorry typo. i meant robert duvall

[hynes0505]

come on man daniel day lewis is on brandos level. cut the shit, watch all his films and do the math. i love mickey rourke, and the wrestler but day lewis has proven a lot more than mickey has with his career.

[pacovl46]

i saw a lot of his movies but he simply doesn't "connect" with me the way mickey does. but then it all lays in the eye of the beholder

[naivete2006]

It's a matter of opinion. As he stated below it's how they connect with people. That's the whole point of acting. Lewis gives me NOTHING, but I LOVE Rourke.

[lene73]

I agree terri..he has a real honesty yet sexiness about him even although his face has changed so much .Thanks for posting this:)

[charlie866returns2]

whats the song at the start

[homieSapien8008]

watch the charles bukowski written story, Barfly. Mickey Rourke kicked ass in that and i am shocked that no one mentions it.

[plan9studios]

Yeah he was robbed of an oscar nom for barfly

[dubzy81]

can he make a comeback? He HAS made a comeback you cunt

[terribauerxx]

Thank you so much for this! I'm a big Mickey fan and still find him strangely attractive.... this has to be wrong lol. cheers x

[jijileila]

atractive?! what???
