Joe Rogan on What Happened to Mickey Rourke

Mickey Rourke is incredibly talented actor. Even in Iron Men he was awesome! He aged that is what happened. Don't call aging crazy that just shows ignorance 😧

old Mickey Rourke looks like a Horse wearing a man costume. and i dont buy that boxing ruined my face bs; plenty famous boxers throughout history and none of them look nothing like the person they used to be cause they got hit so much they needed that level of cosmetic surgery.

I liked Mickey Rourke in Homeboy, Diner, and even Double Team. Guy elevates whatever he's in.

Michael Jackson disease

They're mixing the story with Gary Busey.

Mickey deserved that Oscar for The Wrestler, he and Michael Keaton were both robbed of their moments. I personally never liked Sean Penn anyway, people like to forget how he'd bounce his girlfriends heads against the wall.

Rogan clearly knows nothing about mickey.

i firmly believe rourke signed a pact with diablo to make it as an actor, hes now trying to renage on that deal by changing his appesrance. life immitating art so to speak

Still can't forgive him what he did to Enrique Iglesias

One of my guilty pleasures: Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man

So, I remember Mikey Rouke was the shit, Rumble fish, pope of greenich village, Wild orchid-! Then came Carry Otis... they had a big public breakup involving police and guns and restraing orders and shir and aftwr that, he basically was like im have my face destroyed in the ring, then had to beg to get noticed again until stallone put him in get Carter in 09. But yeah girl broke his heart, then he pissed what was left of him in the ring.

I wish they would get mickey on jre

Portrayed lower manhattan roles better than anyone

Punch drunk.... sorry Joe, he has a well known heroin addiction.

Joe should get Mickey on the podcast

Gary Busey was the one who fell on his motorcycle

People like him age like a banana. He tried to fight his 🧬 and failed miserably. Simple.

JR should read about this bf putting this out. MR whas a good boxer and actor but had a hard childhood and some alcohol problems and his young brother died and so on..

Love Mickey from the door, still do..❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🇱🇷🇱🇷

Rourke's performance in Angel Heart exceeds the Oscar winning performances by Leonardo DiCaprio, Rami Malek & Will Smith by FAR... And guess what, Rourke wasn't even nominated for that performance. It's just politics.

Year of the Dragon
Is fantastic.

I like Mickey Rourke

No, this conversation is so wrong.

Talented actor. As for his boxing, he boxes like he’s acting, which he is.

James Toney is not the guy to be sparring with lol James is not a regular guy 😂

He should have never gone into boxing. It ruined his look.

The guy is delusional he lives in a fantasy world in his head, its pathetic seing some Hollywood dudes getting old and still thinking theyre stud ninjas

I’ve never heard MR call Hollywood soft. Something like The Academy Awards is a whole different story. But being famous at work in Hollywood is very fleeting for most people that are lucky enough to make it into the game. At this point, we all know it’s a brutal business to be in in many horrible ways.
And the fact Mickey Rourke has been around so long considering all he’s been through, doesn’t make him crazy. It takes brains, skills, talent, strength, courage, confidence, tenacity, adaptability, etc. to last that long in Hollywood. MR took on very different roles later in life because Hollywood usually only casts the pretty boys for the types of roles MR was doing earlier in his career. I’d never call him crazy. Outspoken occasionally and different from the BS Hollywood society typical robot type…absolutely. Thank God for him.

Johnny Handsome is probably my favorite Rourke movie.

Angel Heart is his masterpiece!!!

Love Year of the Dragon! Was difficult to find streaming.

His Dad or stepdad was violent and abusive he learned to box to just adapt to pain as a teenager then because he was nice looking Hollywood wanted to treat him like a pretty boy but he was a tough guy good interview of him online called The Darkside if Fame though I think the host is Piers Morgan who irritates me and stalks and spies on celebrities himself tabloid trash journalist but anyway. Rumble Fish is great too imo and Barfly another good performance by Rourke he suited Marv in Sin City also because that character is supposed to look beat up and rough too.

How did you not have him on ur show yet mann ?! Mickeys a legend broo

Once again you’re wrong Joe…… u talk with so much authority : like u actually know…… but it’s always the same : just point of view and assumption. But you say it like you actually know zzzzzz. Mickey Rouke has a terrible up bringing …… and has always had metal issues. It just grabbed a hold of him later in life. And his movies he has made as an older actor are so much better than the young version . That’s what’s up. Joe…… u flop.

i remember watching "Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man" with him from 1991, this was the first movie i saw him younger

Wrestler was good. I liked Bullet the best.

Angelheart is my favorite horror movie ever.

I think the actor that had the motorcycle accident was Gary Busey.

Joe Rogan, as always, understands nothing.

He was never a good boxer to begin with. I don't even think he was an amateur boxer or at least what he says (and others) accomplished there. I've been a boxer, so I can see his skill level and how there had been a lack of talent there primarily because of lack of experience. Essentially, his ego got the worse of him. He wanted to legitimize his lack of talent by bolding sparring with great fighters, real world champions. I believe he said he sparred with Tommy Hearns and for days he lost his motor skills where he couldn't even dial a phone number after a devastating Hearns left hook.

Mickey extremely talented dude

He boxed while in jail too!

Cool

His movies are awesome

They punished him for not obeying. And cuz he was pretty. Jealousy & control

Obama is in that list

Gina Carano definitely has brain damage.

Noway James Tony was my Sparing Partner his corner man use to work my corner !!

The Pope of Greenwich Village an absolute classic! Mickey and Eric Roberts light up the screen!

The only true heir to Brando. Absolutely smouldered in his prime. And can still bring it!






The only thing is, now, he looks like the the guy that got blasted into the toxic chemicals in RoboCop

🥶🥶
