  • 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

  • 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!

  • @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.

  • One day Holliwood will make a movie about his life.I can't see happenning with people like Brad Pitt,Clooney,Damon...

  • lovem but he looks awful,dont have plastic surgery,

  • Holy shit! He had Freddie Roach in his corner. Isn't Roach the trainer for pacquiao? Thats amazing!.

  • He's a legend, he always was.

  • 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...

  • 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 :)

  • Superb actor and superb man.....................humble and honest and seriously sexy lol lol

  • 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.

  • Mickey looks hot in this interview.
