Evening Les Amis…
All right now, I am still visibly shaken! I just watched this expose on E about Mickey Rourke. I was in middle school during the 80′s, so I was a bit young to be into the hype of Mickey during his hey days in the 80′s and 90′s, so I had NO IDEA what a HOTTIE he was.
look at that face!!!
He was absolutely scrumptious and a great actor to boot. I just recently watch him the in the movie 9 1/2 Weeks with Kim Basinger .
It’s almost UNBELIEVABLE that is really Mickey Rourke!!
Wasn’t that almost breathtaking? It makes you want to watch this movie…
It is hard for me to swallow that the beautiful man in that clip, now looks like THIS!!!!
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SAY IT ISN’T SOO… and what’s up with the bottom lip action…
(rrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhh – sound of me throwing up into a trashcan)
MICKEY??? WHAT in the name of all that is good and holy in the world HAPPENED??
This can’t just be plastic surgery’s fault? According to the press Mickey’s face got SERVED when he decided to take a career in boxing.
This was a BAD BAD MOOD! Probably made when he was 8 balling one night!
Rourke has been quoted when asked about his boxing days that he had to go back to boxing” because he felt that he ” was self-destructing … (and) had no respect for myself being an actor.”
Although Rourke was a bit too old to be in the ring, he didn’t too so badly. Rourke was undefeated in 8 fights, with six wins (4 by knock-out) and two draws. He fought in Spain, Japan and Germany. Unfortunatley, his BODY suffered BADLY as a result of this coked out decision to become a boxer. He suffered MAD injuries including a broken nose, toe, ribs, a split tongue, and a compressed cheekbone. Aye Dios Mios that must have REALLY hurt? I guess possibly all of those injuries, in conjunction with drug and alcohol abuse, could turn someone from a hunk of man into this
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh…..makes me want to burst into tears..
Well, at least the blows to the head and the actual blow he snorted didn’t ruin his acting skills.
He did win a Golden Globe for his role in “The Wrestler”.
Mickey Rourke’s performance is moving, and he proves that he’s still got the acting chops.
He seems like a troubled soul though. I do sincerely hope he does find some source of happiness besides from his dogs.
Mickey on the red carpet in Venice with the dearly departed Loki
His dear pup, of 17 years named Loki died on February 18. Rourke said to the Associated Press “Loki is deeply missed but with me in spirit. I feel very blessed that she fell asleep peacefully in my arms.” When Rourke won the Golden Globe for Best Actor he thanked all his dogs, both living and dead. He said ”sometimes when a man’s alone, all you got is your dog.”
That is one of the saddest statements I have EVER heard in all my life. Someone PLEASE show Mickey Rourke some love…. PLEASE I beseech you.. I am not the one though.
SOMEONE REACH OUT…
Serving more sweet treats soon…
Stay Tuned…

Ohh, I have to watch that on E! this weekend. Mickey R. was so gorgeous in the 80s. Then now he looks like this now. So different. But the best thing about this, he leading his life down a different path. A path that better and more fulfilling.

Thanks for stopping by Lashae!
I always look forward to your comment and prospective!
You are totally 1000% right! Mickey Rourke is clean now, and on a different path than
he was back in the 80s when he had all the looks.
He’s a better person now, and that is what really matters.
If ANYTHING, people can learn from his life.
To put it simply drugs are soooooo bad!
He is so lucky to have this second chance! There are so many who don’t make it!

okay, i totally take back what i wrote “Mickey Rourke is clean now, and on a different path than
he was back in the 80s when he had all the looks.
He’s a better person now, and that is what really matters.”
I think I momentarily hallucinated… sorry about that.
i rescind my statement on the grounds that I don’t know if Mickey Rourke is off drugs AND I most certainly cannot attest that he is a better person.
I would like to hope that those statements are true, but anyone who hasn’t seen a drug test and sees he lives day and out can vouch 4 that!
Let me be real now..

That scene from 9 1/2 Weeks is just soooo hot its unreal. Mickey was drop dead gorgeous when he was younger. But I still love him now, he has character.

GREAT GREAT GREAT POST!!! Could not have said it any better myself. I just watched 9 1/2 weeks OMG how sexually hot was that?!!??!? When I rented it I wondered if I would be able to differentiate the Mickey from the 80′s to the monster that he looks like now (sorry to say it) but YES I sure was able to! So HOT can’t get over his great looks with that sexy voice.
But now, I agree it is so hard to look at him, I could actually cry at how ugly he is now. Too too too sad for words!!!!!
