This was a tough time in Rourke's life, and that dog was always with him. I've seen some shitty comments in other videos about Rourke and his dog. I think some people don't understand how awesome dogs are as companions. Unlike people, they love you no matter what.
Mickey Was Real With the Love When Speaking of His Dog/Buddy/ BEST FRIEND....... When He Said...."Youre In For The Long Haul" No Matter What...... LOVE THEM!!
This interview is so sad but also so enchanting because you look at him like a tough guy but he is so soft spoken and vulnerable. This made me love Mickey Rourke more.
He’s definitely a good man who was deeply hurt growing up in his family with a stepfather from hell but this man is extremely talented and he knows that he’s got purpose in his life❤
I love this man and I especially love his dog! Not weird, his love for his little companion is heartwarming and says so much about his heart. Just LOVE him 💕

Love this man. He was vulnerable when this interview aired but he was still gracious & charming. He needed that dog but he did not have to go on this show (and be mocked). The more I learn about the man, the more I admire & love him. People are often shocked that Mickey ultimately stopped looking like he did in his 30s. There are many stories and theories but most people struggle to accept that we all age and change. Mickey happened to have been particularly gorgeous during the ‘80s (for which most of us are grateful) but Mickey is also a real person- someone who has had to cope with aging just like the rest of us but while also having to contend with unrealistic expectations that he would never change- and unrealistic demands that his looks belonged to others & therefore could not be changed. What an awful trap to be ensnared in. So many of us love Mickey unconditionally. We thank him for the many performances he has shared with us and also for his honesty and his commitment to make the world a better place through film. Mickey is one of a kind. Much love and respect.
The fake world we live is the same as the school yard. When a person is socially awkward / different people like to make fun of you and poke at a person. Shaming a person in front of others in order to look cool, etc. This world isn't a place for the real ones. Most people in those Industries are very fake and pretentious and suck as human beings in general. Like the cool groups in school, just a bunch of bullies. Everyone isn't witty and able to navigate all the social dynamics and society uses that against a person. His childhood sucked and a person carries that for life. The dog is an emotional companion for many. Part of his plastic surgery was about the damage boxing did to him as he wasn't that good and didn't use head gear during sparing guys that was better than him. Also trying to hold onto age as he missed so many years in Hollywood trying to turn back time, which none of us can do. The superficial world we live in is so externally obsessed, it's sad how empty and cold people can be.
They put him on the Hellyweird treadmill. Like he said it's political. Everything is political. Horse, Dog, Bird, and Cat shows are political. Your children's sports are political. I hear they make them do heinous things in Hellyweird. Why so many of them are messed up or kick off too soon. Imho. I hope Mickey finds peace.
Здесь он настолько нежный и ранимый, как мне кажется , никогда на публике... И здесь он это он сам, не Джон из фильма, нежный, но циничный, не Виллер, не Ангел, он здесь просто Микки и немного не в себе, у него начал меняться голос, но его интонации и его рассудительность - это что-то особое, вкрадчивое, неповторимое... С возрастом он стал гораздо сильнее по характеру, он стал настоящий брутал но я скучаю по этому Микки, когда мне грустно, я смотрю это видео, и понимаю, что ему было, наверное ещё тяжелее тогда, когда он в шикарном костюме от Армани, в своё лучшей физической форме, с этой классной прической почти оправдывается, как неуверенный в себе подросток... А про новый фильм этот журналист так и не спросил...
Oh they just added that movie to Hulu and I haven't seen it yet cause I have a bad feeling about it when I saw it was a horror movie and hes a private eye and private eyes almost always get screwed in just about anything I watch or read but it looks so good so my husband and I are going to watch it in October when we binge watch Halloween movies all October.
I just watched that movie last night and I love him and Lisa Bonet in it. I don’t understand how the film got so much hate because I think it’s really unique and was very well written.
He was also great in "Diner", "Rumble Fish", "The Pope Of Greenwich Village", "Body Heat" (even though it was a small role). The dog is really cute. I would love to adopt a chihuahua.
Very uncomfortable interview... I don't like how Mickey was treated, at all. He deserved a better time. He's an amazing person, pure and genuine soul 💜
Mickey Rourke had that dog to calm him down like a stress ball a psychologist would give a patient.He brought it so he would not knock Dave Letterman the hell out lol!
Letterman certainly deserved several dozen bitchslaps, but guests should already have known that and NOT come on the show. Nah, Rourke was and is just a messed up individual. An artist without an art.
This guy was blessed with incredible looks and talent. He pissed..off 2many people and his career suffered. He seems very grounded to this day. Tough business to stay. All the best.
I'm pretty certain I saw him drinking coffee outside of a restaurant/cafe in London, about 5 years ago. He didn't actually look THAT bad. I, generally speaking, hate actors but there's a real vulnerability married to intelligence that means I can't help but think I like Mickey Rourke. Probably a good thing I'm unlikely ever to get to know him or that would probably change!
Erika Marx Ho HO! As a Sexy Macho Kitty, I Like to Go to Pinky's Kitty Spa for a Clawdicure, Mustache Trim und Shampoo, Full Kitty Comb Out, Tushy Spanks, und Whisker Shine.
You have to admire him for his integrity, unlike all the other boot-licking sellouts in the entertainment industry. As they say, a man with integrity only has his conscientiousness as his life’s companion.
fucking LOVE how as soon as letterman says "mickey rourke everybody" he just gets up and bounces immediately. lettermans just like wtf you couldn't wait til commercial break. hahaha
I think he started having surgery here , but he looked good still , I actually think he looked cool in tbe wrestler too, but now he looks weird but still cool , I dont care
Love the part at the end, when Mickey shakes Dave's hand, gets up and leaves before they even cut to commercials. Like saying, I'm done with this a$$hole, why did I come here in the first place.
The fact that you have to announce that your straight before gawking about how attractive you find him, tells me and everyone else that you are in denial. Straight guys don't talk about how good looking they find another man.
Rourke is the man! Honest, intense, and introspective! I got mad respect for him! I wish he would have redirected his anger in his work verses his face. But he's still here.
I do as well. However, I've always thought that was kinda symbolic... because Hellyweird is all about your "appearance" so shallow. And all of that isn't lost on Mickey. Imho.
Great actor..Rock Star form very cool seeing this! Always been a fan of Mickey.. great movie “Bullet”..why can’t it be purchased or played through anywhere? Great movie..
@@zerocool8475 So if a dog is shity and annoying and I bring it up Im an animal hater? A kindergarten could see through your shity and annoying logic lmfao
He looks like Errol Flynn here, especially when he smiles. I met Mickey at Equinox in Soho. I was nervous and told him how I loved Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man. Then later I read that was his absolute least favorite film he did! He was very nice. I also used to see him at Golds on Cole in Hollywood. My favorite 80s actor without a doubt!
Dave was a maniac and totally intimidated..the biggest insult was toward Loki, he never showed respect. Well done Mickey god you looked gorgeous then, always a fan.,
yes he called her loki ., very beautiful dog R.I.P loki , and mickey was handsome he's very natural just like kids , i'm very happy for his comeback and i love him .
"wasn't prepared to deal with acting like it was a business" - this is what I feel that Hollywood wants me to deal with when I see most movies, and I don't like dealing with it that way. It's supposed to be an art, like literature, painting, music - I don't want to have to see it as a business. That's a side-effect of it not the main thing. Brad Pitt is an actor/businessman - Mickey is an actor/artist. I like people in artistic fields who don't treat it like a business, but the business itself doesn't.
You also have to be a politician & propagandist to get anywhere in Hollywood. Get in line and push the approved agenda. Compromise art by bowing down to non-democratic China after screeching your own president is a dictator. No wonder Rourke said he hates actors and they're the scummiest people he ever met.
Yeah I guess they expect people to be multi talented that's like expecting a kid to be good at every class in school. You need an A plus in Drama and Math?
Francesco on 1989 is the best movie he ever made, i don't remember meeting a drama actor other than Andrew Lincoln or al pacino who is as good as him or better. And you know the quality of the actor when you know that he managed to play a saint like San Francisco and then a villain like "Ivan Vanko", in Iron Man 2, the guy is an acting legend if you ask me, he deserved much more recognition of what he already have, Since he can't talk so much about himself I insist on doing so in this comment.
I wish his interview on Inside the Actor’s Studio was on YT. He was so vulnerable and humbled by his pain. Really wish he would have won the Oscar for The Wrestler.
People are so foolish reacting to what the dog is doing instead of listening to someone’s first appearance on a talk show….,Was distracting probably not the best idea to bring the dog on a talk show but maybe had nobody to watch him
Why do some people make fun of little dogs. Men especiallyseem to think that a real man must have a big aggressive dog when to me it's the opposite. A stable well adjusted man doesn't need a huge dog to compensate for his inadequacies as a man.
Extraordinary human being and an amazing actor, the best american actor alive. Nice interview,Mickey is so humble and gentle and Loki's (R.I.P.) so funny. Thanx for posting! from a great Mickey Rourke fan

Reminds me of Once upon a time in Mexico. Didn't realize he really had a dog like that lol.
@ijcn0jir3nvjn3fjcifn the dogs name was loki and when he died Mickey feel apart. Dogs are humans best friends.
Mickey Was Real With the Love When Speaking of His Dog/Buddy/ BEST FRIEND....... When He Said...."Youre In For The Long Haul"
No Matter What...... LOVE THEM!!
Especially if you have strong problems with addictions.
Just got random anxiety attacks and the first thing I wished I had was my dog. But my ex got him
Mickey is such a good soul and beautiful human being on the inside. I had the pleasure of meeting him once and he was so kind and friendly.
Great❤
No he's not! He's a nasty drunk & Drug addicts m😮

yeah, he seems quite introverted too. what a genuine person he is... you don't meet many of those these days
@@repoman5581imagine if he was a black African fella 😳
❤mickey is gorgeous I like him better then Kevin Costner who is gorgeous too.
I love this man and I especially love his dog! Not weird, his love for his little companion is heartwarming and says so much about his heart. Just LOVE him 💕
He is a beautiful soul
He had the most amazing voice. So beautiful and relaxing.
now his voice sounds like he ate 4 lbs of gravel
@@Simon-talks
I would happily listen to him, both now and years ago. He is a treasure.

He was really close with 2pac
He just play cool guy. So poser. De Niro or Gandolfini is real cool guys. Not a posers. They are real.
Uh, you think hell is cool. You're going to be in for a surprise.
WAS the coolest in Hollywood. Not anymore

@@sylphofthewildwoods5518 - awesome then and awesome now he is just lovely in this clip
He had a botched facial surgery to fix the things he broke from boxing...
Even when he was having his tough spots in life he was cool as hell.

The most handsome guy in that era! Loved him and still do! 💖
Oh thank you so so much for your compliment, I really appreciate you big fan 😍, how are you doing and where are you chatting from?
He was smart & much more logical than most. He still is, good person too.
He was many things - smart was not one of them.
Mickey Rourke is cool, a great actor and he get's brownie points for being good to dogs. Letterman is and always will be a dork.
Letterman is a dorkis hack phony
100%
You said it! Letterman is unpredictable and kinda goofy.
*The sheer genius of using the dog to distract Dave from his usual patterns is astonishing.*
I wouldn't call him a dork, exactly. He's hellbent with a pathos of some kind.
great person that went through hard times.he's one of us ! he never coward to nobody❤
Everyone goes through hard times.
Mickey Rourke is a phenomenal actor regardless of what people may say about him! 🎬☝️☑️
Mickey is simply one of the greatest.
He's a freak!
Man he was SO good in "Angel Heart"..
Oh they just added that movie to Hulu and I haven't seen it yet cause I have a bad feeling about it when I saw it was a horror movie and hes a private eye and private eyes almost always get screwed in just about anything I watch or read but it looks so good so my husband and I are going to watch it in October when we binge watch Halloween movies all October.
I just watched that movie last night and I love him and Lisa Bonet in it. I don’t understand how the film got so much hate because I think it’s really unique and was very well written.
Probably because of Bill Cosby's power in Hollywood at the time.
He was also great in "Diner", "Rumble Fish", "The Pope Of Greenwich Village", "Body Heat" (even though it was a small role). The dog is really cute. I would love to adopt a chihuahua.
Christopher Fritz Desperate Hours is great, too, in addition to the movies someone before me has already mentioned!
I would love to hear more from Mickey. He reminds me of Marlon Brando in they way he carries himself and how he replies with great depth
Mickey always the realist what an amazing human being!
Mickey seems to be the most normal person in the room. Very authentic and down to earth
Mickey Rourke you are truly an amazing person xoxox
lol
he looked so cool and attractive at this time...
Until all those face lifts. Back when he was young he looks like a young Bruce Willis.

Agree.
Maybe he should have left that damn dog at home then. He ruined his own interviews.
Letterman was always an asshole to his guests.
I had such a crush on him. I could just look at him all day😍
The character in 9 1/2 weeks was built for him. So f*cking sexy
Same!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Mickey Rourke looks so beautiful here in this interview. He looks great❤Sweetheart 😊
Great underrated actor. Sweet human being, often misunderstood.
Mickie's a sweet guy. He's genuine...unlike the vast majority of Hollywood.
Mickey Rourke had that dog to calm him down like a stress ball a psychologist would give a patient.He brought it so he would not knock Dave Letterman the hell out lol!

What a beautiful man he was
Mickey Rourke was my favourite when I was in grade school, and still is. One of a kind.✨✨✨
U had good taste,
Absolutely beautiful inside and out ,love what he’s wearing and most of all his character ❤️🔥
I would never have known this was Mickey. There’s nothing left of his original beautiful face.
He knows that, that's why the Wrestler was so great.
Man! He was a great looking guy back then!! And that dog is adorable! LOL
He did not look good here. The very bad plastic surgery jobs had started to show by the time of this interview.
fucking LOVE how as soon as letterman says "mickey rourke everybody" he just gets up and bounces immediately. lettermans just like wtf you couldn't wait til commercial break. hahaha
Omg that was awesome. I recently started viewing Mickey Rourke’s videos. We missed out on years of star power
He is still really gorgeous here (at 42!). He went through some difficult times between 1995 and 2005, which aged him significantly.
I think he started having surgery here , but he looked good still , I actually think he looked cool in tbe wrestler too, but now he looks weird but still cool , I dont care
42 is still young for males, especially Hollywood actors. Rourke actually managed to fuck up his good looks way too early
@@mskidi good for males implying that it's not good for women, typical male/misogynistic thinking
yeah he had a terrible lifestyle. 42 is young actually.
Thanks for the compliment 👍, how are you doing and where are you chatting from?

Mickey looks like he's been up for 2 days on a bender, took the dog for a walk and then remembered he had a Letterman interview..
LMAO
thats his dog Loki, that he spoke about when accepting his award for the wrestler, what an awesome duo
You can tell this is when he was making Bullet..raw movie great, you are awesome Mickey
I get it. My dogs have given me a reason to live during tough times.
He had transformed like Michael Jackson...This lovely Soft guy is Marv from Sin City? Almost unbelievable

@Dr. Phil's creampie lounge he's acting "a bit odd" because he's stoned out of his head lol

Felix Burke True. I grew up in North Philly and the “thugs” would walk around with Pitbulls and Rottweilers to look tough. It’s a fashion statement.
I was just glad the little dog didn't make a little puddle on the stage. LOL
Actually true
I prefer big dogs. To me it has nothing to do with trying to appear tough. German Shepherds are my favorite.
Fascinating man
Great actor, loved him in the Wrestler. Sooo underrated.
He was is real unlike most actors like George Looney and Tom loose and Tom Yanks.
Sweet, complex man. Animal lover..The Pope Of Greenwich Village is one of my favorite films!!💕 love you Mickey and Eric.
Love you Loki and Mickey
he is very good at dog training and he is taiking care for her. Love it!
This was a great dog. She lived long.. She died almost 3 yrs ago... I Miss her. RIP Loki.
Extraordinary human being and an amazing actor, the best american actor alive. Nice interview,Mickey is so humble and gentle and Loki's (R.I.P.) so funny. Thanx for posting!
from a great Mickey Rourke fan
Like so many GREAT ACTORS HE IS AWSOME NO MATTER WHAT BIT THEY FORGET WHO THEY REALLY IN REAL LIFE LIKE AL PACINO
Has David Letterman graduated junior high yet? Just wondering.
Chris Cross lol 😂
He was great in pope of Greenwich village,1984.watch it when you can.
Symbolism he doesn't want to be a dog in acting. Amazing when people are very natural. What a show!
He is my dream man. Always Will be🤗
that dog is so funny and cute the outfit too
A man and his dog he's amazing..love him ..
Nothing more pathetic and weak than a grown man with a mutt or cat
One of the most talented actors and one of the most impenetrably bizarre.
thank God he came back and there's a hype around him again. thanks for posting this!
Everybody crazy exept Mickey
Extraordinarily good looking.
I like mickey rourke!
Mickey is fantastic!
He looks like he could be related to Ethan Hawke
He was a badass when Hawke was in elementary school.
I went to school with EH he was far from a badass. Very nice guy
👍
I was thinking more like Keanu Reeves.
He melts my heart ❤❤❤❤❤
Rumble fish is my favorite movie with him.
