Mickey rourke why so ugly

For comparison purposes, of course. Obviously, right? The changes are actually incredibly dramatic. Between the fringed jacket and matching pants and his surfer boy hair, Rourke is putting out a whole different vibe than he was before. Especially when we look at some of his 'bad boy' roles that he was cast in back in the 80s.

Now, this is a strong shift from the previous photo. Not an inch of leather in sight, yet Mickey Rourke is still rocking and rolling and looking fabulous.

Those red shoes are a flamboyant outfit addition, though, and they show the kind of confidence that only a year-old man wearing low-rise skinny jeans can exude.

If someone had told us that Mickey Rourke was in his 30s back in the 80s , we would have believed it, sure. There are a whole lot of panting Foley effects, particularly during the "controversial" final scene wherein Rourke's box-browned abdominal muscles gnash and dilate while grinding into Otis' pornographically rectangular strip of pubic hair. The legend that was "leaked" from the "set" was that the two "actors" couldn't "control themselves" during this big sex scene, and despite the presence of the entire camera crew had "actual penetration.

What did happen was that Rourke and Otis ended up together, sharing, by all reports, a bloody kind of soul connection. This is the period of time when Rourke stopped having anything effeminate about him at all. One wonders whether the inevitable rumors that he was gay triggered some kind of barbaric, street-kid homophobia that made him kill off the sexily feminine, feline aspects of his persona. Otis was a Calvin Klein model around this time, when the designer was going through his "biker" phase.

Arguably this was inspired by the heavy Harley-Davidson-fetishizing scene that was happening in Hollywood at the time, spearheaded by Rourke and Otis. I was unable to find any information on Rourke's artistic-photography hobby, which flourished during this period and primarily featured nude black-and-white shots of Otis covered in motor oil.

Whatever his loutish comments, a closer investigation suggests that he was deeply hurt by the fact that Hollywood was not a meritocracy, and that the system, media and machine alike, never recognized that he really was a good actor. Though he won several fights, he suffered a broken cheekbone, two broken ribs, a broken toe, four broken knuckles, a split tongue and a mashed nose. By the time he stopped boxing in , he was broke and his Beverly Hills home had been repossessed. He had to go back to the movies.

Rourke and Otis were deeply in love, but really, really bad for each other. They married in and divorced in , but reconciled shortly thereafter. He stalked her. There was a well-publicized incident of Otis being beaten black and blue that resulted in Rourke's arrest in ; previous to that there was an "accidental shooting" wherein Otis took a bullet while hanging around a film set with Rourke in Arizona.

Otis now claims she was strung out on heroin a good deal of that time in response to Mickey's numerous infidelities. She is now a sober, rehabilitated Buddhist and in-demand plus-size model. Rourke has spent a good deal of time over the years groveling to get her back.

I used to see them at Gold's Gym in Hollywood a few times a week in ; it was the general consensus that they looked like they'd been living on nothing but Ho-Hos and bourbon for the previous 18 months, and in Mickey's case, steroids. Rourke once became enraged at "China Beach" star Jeff Kober for speaking to Otis and gave him a black eye in front of the gym.

Rourke's face is ruined. His upper lip is freakishly swollen, his nose puffy and flat, and one cheekbone protrudes like a purple walnut, presumably from a combination of boxing and ill-advised surgeries.

Like a bad portrait tattoo of himself, Rourke is only recognizable when you squint. The producers would have been wise to replace Rourke: He has no chi left.

Angie Everhart drags him around the screen like an arthritic dog. This worthless if artily shot film is a horrifying document of how much Rourke's inner demons had defaced him. The French, apparently, had no problem with this devolved version of Rourke and loved him more than ever. He looked like his head had been sculpted out of wet cat food. He was huge and red, his face looked minced and swollen; his hair had been aggressively re-blonded, and he resembled no one so much as the apocalyptic cartoon character RanXerox.

The discussion reached a fever pitch following Rourke's appearance on The Masked Singer , and with that in mind, here's' everything we know about his cosmetic procedures. In the s, Mickey Rourke began to find success as an actor, he was praised for his appearance.
