Mickey Rourke Then
Mickey Rourke made his comedy breakthrough in 1982 with the picture Diner. His acting abilities and ability to discuss the contentious subject matter in his roles propelled him to popularity in 1986’s 912Weeks and 1987’s Angel Core, albeit it didn’t totally create new ground. Despite being moderate by today’s standards, these films consolidated his image as a sex idol alongside co-stars Kim Basinger and Lisa Bonet. Rourke turned to boxing after deciding he’d had enough of acting in 1991. He used to train as a fighter when he was younger. His boxing career was cut short after only three years in the ring.

Rourke scored a few tiny jobs after returning to acting after a boxing career in the 1990s. Despite his face being seriously wounded from his time on the combat scene, his remarkable talent motivated him to labor ceaselessly, typically playing misfits and misdirected tough guys. Rourke didn’t make another appearance on the big screen until 2005’s Sin City. For his role in The Wrestler, he was nominated for a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, and an Oscar in 2009. He’s undergone a lot of cosmetic surgery over the years, and he’s a really attractive elderly man as a result.
