Mickey Rourke Now
When Rourke returned to acting following a successful boxing career in the 1990s, he was cast in only a few minor roles. In spite of his horribly wounded face from his time on the fight scene, his incredible talent spurred him on to work ceaselessly, frequently portraying misfits and misdirected tough guys on television and in films. Until 2005’s Sin City, Rourke did not appear in another prominent supporting role on the big screen. In 2009, his performance in The Wrestler earned him a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, and an Academy Award nomination. Because of his numerous cosmetic procedures over the years, he has developed into a remarkably attractive older gentleman.
