Mickey Rourke was supposed to be one of Hollywood’s redemption stories.
The 72-year-old actor and former boxer was nominated for the Academy Award for Best ACTOR in 2009, for his representation of Randy ‘The Ram’ Robinson in the Wrestler, in a version that also won a BAFTA and a Golden Globe.
But his irregular behavior about celebrity Big Brother may have – again – had his reputation in the film industry.
Rourke had a successful career in the 1980s, including a star in Erotic Thriller 9 1/2 weeks opposite Kim Basinger. But he was noticed from a large film in the nineties because he had attacked a man who was accused of acting heroin to his second wife Carré Otis.
“I hit him harder than anyone in my life,” Rourke told The Times. “He was gone before he hit the ground. I hit an artery and there was a stream of blood that went 20 ft in the air.”
Rourke was in 1994 Charged for the marital batteryBecause he reportedly hit Otis, pushed her over it and kick her at the office of their publicist. Otis and Rourke were divorced in 1998.
Rourke’s first wife, Debra Feuer, described her former husband as “jealous and controlling” and said that his fame ignited a self -destructive streak. “Mickey was never violent opposite me” told the mirror. “He would threaten other actors if he thought they paid me too much attention, but it was.”
When Feuer was thrown to live and die in LA, she claims that Rourke threatened my co-star Willem Dafoe “and director William Friedkin. “It was crazy.” she said. ‘[Rourke] Was so uncertain. “
‘My career is in the toilet’
Rourke has attributed his comeback in the 1990s to years of intensive therapy.
“I was out of hand, I was crazy. I had to lose my house, my wife, my money, my career, everything, for me to fall all the way to the bottom,” Rourke de London Standard told. “Then someone advised me to talk to someone. I resisted but I went because everything was gone.”

After the wrestler, he received positive reviews for his role as a villain Ivan Vanko in Iron Man 2. But in the intervening 15 years the career of Rourke is shaking.
“My career is in the toilet” told the sun Before he entered the reality TV show. “I don’t get A-list films.”
The actor took responsibility for directors who did not want to work with him. According to Reports in the sunRourke “Throwed the Set” while filming his upcoming film wheels of heaven.
“I made mistakes, many. I have no one who is to blame for my ship that sinks, except myself,” said Rourke. “There are directors with whom I want to work and that they are not afraid of myself and trust me who I am today, not for the reputation I have.”
The actor told the sun he chose to participate in the ITV reality show because he “wanted to visit really bad independent films” and London here.
“I don’t know anything about this show,” Rourke said. “I’m not worried – I don’t care about bad habits that I could see for the world to see.”
Fame Big Brother sees public figures being paid to participate in a reality show with a monitoring theme. They become housemates in a specially built house full of cameras, where the public and fellow housemates vote for a person to be deported every week.
Since the moment he entered the Celebrity Big Brother -Huis on Monday 7 April, Rourke’s behavior has been criticized and indignation.
‘That’s homophobic’
Once in the house, the behavior of Rourke continued to cause problems.
Rourke then told fellow participant and former Love Islander Chris Hughes that he would “vote the lesbians very quickly”. When Siwa heard, she exclaimed the actor and said, “that’s homophobic.”

The actor continued commenting that “I need a fag” and gestured to Siwa and said, “I don’t talk to you” before he clarified that he used jargon for a cigarette that acts like a homophobic slur.
Rourke was then called to the Big Brother Diary Room where he received a formal warning. “Your language was offensive and unacceptable,” said the Big Brother Voiceover. “Further language or behavior of this nature can cause you to be removed from the Big Brother house.”
The actor said he “just spoke” and apologized to Siwa. “I have the habit of having a short fuse, and I don’t mean anything about it,” he told her.
The public chose to vote from a manufacturer, with Siwa’s mother expressing her accident that her daughter would still be in the house with Rourke.
“I am really sad,” Jessalyn Siwa said on Instagram. ‘I sent my child […] To a foreign country to do a TV program and she was treated immediately, immediately from the gate. “
“He is old school, direct and honest,” she added that I worked closely with him for nine years and he is 100 percent authentic himself. There will never be another Mickey Rourke. Period.”
Hines also defended Rourke against the sun, which suggested that his age meant that he was not up -to -date on “politically correct vocabulary”.
“He is not scary. He is not Pvy. He does not try to insult gays, lesbian people,” Hines said. “For him, he does not realize that now every word you say it can and will be used against you. And that is just the way this world now works.”
After surviving the first deportation of Friday evening, Rourke remained in the house with the rest of the participants.
“Mickey Rourke agreed to leave the celebrity Big Brother House tonight after a discussion with Big Brother about further use of inappropriate language and cases of unacceptable behavior,” said an ITV spokesperson.
Rourke and Hughes, who had previously defended Siwa, filmed together when Rourke reportedly used behavior and language that was considered threatening and aggressive. There was no physical fight.
Rourke had previously entrusted Hughes that Covid and the strike by the actor had made him struggle financially. “I had to borrow half a million dollars from the bank to make ends meet and pay bills,” the actor said.
Reportedly, Rourke £ 500,000 would be paid by ITV before appearing in the show, but that reimbursement is now doubtful about his exit.
Mickey Rourke was approached for comment.
Celebrity Big Brother will be broadcast on ITV tonight at 10 p.m.
