ACTOR & BOXER
He was one of America's sexiest, saddest and most sensitive movie actors. Whether as actor, boxer, hellraiser or husband, MICKEY ROURKE has always cast himself as the outsider. "He's like...royalty in exile". At his peak, women loved him because he was better than anybody else at smirking in a way that looked like his hard-on gave him terrible emotional pain. Rourke's career is notable for the heady price he paid for his eccentricities, the most expensive of which being that his credibility as an actor was labeled with a scarlet question mark. But this, by & large, is a bad rap. |
