Mickey Rourke was once known as one of film’s most handsome stars – before boxing injuries, plastic surgery and high-profile conflicts saw his career dwindle. But in a Hollywood that suffocates and consumes those drawn to its mighty allure, taking yourself apart may be the only means of escape, writes Adam White

, Rourke’s face was one of soft femininity blurred with rugged manliness. Mirroring those actors that came before him, it was beauty that proved short-lived.Throughout the 1980s, Rourke was open about his unease with fame and the Hollywood ecosystem. He would slam his co-stars and directors in the press and dismiss much of the industry as beneath him. “You go through the motions of feeling it but you know the studio owns your ass, the public owns your ass,” Rourke said in 1992.

Sad. He was a great looking human being in the late 80's to early 90's. Boxing also messed him up. I still ❤️ the dude and he's so babyish how he loves his doggies. I met him in Soho NY and had a conversation outside a cafe. The guy is awe-inspiring just listening to his stories

I got three..... Only three available on YouTube India....

He looks plastic, good looking man, once upon a time

Slow day at the office, I presume?

Oh.. So that's the reason less films came.. I from kid times always waited for Sir's films... West not that happy place....... It's alright shit happens sometimes.... Or many times.... Live and Live ..
