I love this guy! He stays thankful and deeply grateful to those that helped him when he was "down and out". He's never afraid to be vulnernable. Gotta love that:)
Core Lore Amen to that! So many people take help for granted and others forget/willfully ignore those who helped them become famous or successful. I love him sharing his story about going from 'down and out' to successful actor - it is such an inspiring story, hopefully others that may be 'stuck in a rut' (down-and-out), can hear this story and believe in themselves, so they find success to. -i don't just mean in terms of being an actor, or even career as a whole. *Every* human being is special and we all have tough times - tough times with family, love, friends, illness, career, money, crime, etc. but anyone and everyone who goes through hardship can (and WILL) overcome their problems! We can overcome anything we put our minds to. This is not anything to do with religion, although i do understand why people seek comfort from religion in times of need, this is purely about the human will/heart. Don't take yourselves for granted, we are amazing creatures capable of so much. If you're not happy with your life then you owe it to yourself to make a change, remember with enough hard work, dedication and determination you can do more than you would ever believe. Take care, and love yourself - we're all here for a reason, just make it a good one :)
An awesome human being. A legend. An inspiration. Total honesty. I've always been a fan. Rumblefish and Barfly. The pinnacle of excellence. Pure genius. Unlike the,vain freaks,having a go at him on here. Nobody's. It just gives me joy,to know these freaks,will be paying a visit to the crematorium,very shortly,just like the rest of us,but nobody will remember them. Because,they are nobody's. Unlike Mickey. He wil be remembered. A legend.
kilburnicus totally agree I love the guy he seems very sincere & very genuine he's had highs & lows but just proves even a Hollywood star who hits rocks bottom can come bk to the top I admire mickey he is a legend 👍
Hey Mickey you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind, hey Mickey! Let me tell you something: sexiness has no age. It does not depend on how you look. It is a magnetism from within. But this man is not only sexy, he is profound, sincere, experienced, self assured, and a great great actor. And that is what really matters.
always loved this guy, from the very beginning! he is very smart, intelligent,most important honest and down to earth. it just breaks my heart Everytime I see him coz I can tell that he's been thru a lot and is broken to some level!!! whatever that maybe! he had mentioned in another interview he did not have a very good childhood!!
his scene and speech he gives in the expendables is my favourite part of the film, been a fan of him for years, glad he had his come back, should have got his oscar
He dresses beautifully, a real dude! He is someone i would love to meet, very funny and full of advise, he's made the mistakes but we will always love him because he's so real and honest.
He's a character, true and honest. No glamour pretending..no bs. Everytime he is on the screen he gives that intensity straight through the camera...! Micky Rourke a face to remember!!!
i really like him. he seems so friendly and intelligent. but what hurts me is that im always sad when seeing him because you can see that he is broken in some way, i just want to hug him and tell him that everything is going to be alright....
Know what you mean: there's a really good documentary about him and he did get (a bit) emotional when talking about his father. He came across as a lovely, fucked-up man...
Микки Рурк прекрасный человек, актер очень необычный, какая то нежность в улыбке, в глазах и вместе с этим мужественность настоящая железная. Мир воспринимает просто, знает ему цену. Не болен болезнью звезд, он просто светит своим человеческим светом. Благодарен, честен и он настоящий, ошибающийся и исправляющий сам свои ошибки. Восхищаюсь и люблю в нем свободу. Все роли его люблю. выяснилось, что многие его рабо ы не смотрела. Буду смотреть! Удачи Микки Рурк, всего самого доброго!
Harley Davidson an the Marlboro man ..my dad bought me the vhs when I was seven I watched once a day ..one day I’m gonna buy a clone bike like that..great movie
I have always liked Mickey Rourke. He's real, down to earth and genuine. He also works hard staying fit. Praying God gives him lots of acting roles in the evening of his life.
I HAVE TO SAY THIS he is a smart and brave man, plus he's got a heart of gold, and i say he look's allot better with short hair, and you can see him more better, WOW he looks amazing in short hair, LUV YOU MICKY ROURKE, he's clean cutt no matter what he does in his movie's, MWA❤Lⓞⓥⓔ❤
about 10 years ago I was walking into Golds gym in venice beach and a bodybuilder looking guy bumped into me and very politely said "please excuse me" guy i was with said do you know who that was, Mickey Rourke..... true story
god i loved him in get carter, i couldnt believe he was gone for so long after great movies earlier, real neat sly brought him back, kinda like quinton brought back travolta. i mean angel heart and bar fly!!!! god bless sly, love mickey
Stallone knew that Mickey was in a bad way financially as few would employ him so he got him in the remake of Get Carter which realistically wasnt that great. 10 years later he repaid that favour by playing a role in the Expendables and why he wasnt part in the sequels. Mickey is very loyal to his friends as Penn, Stallone Sheen and others have said.
I still think Mickey is handsome. His personality shines and he's true to himself in Hollywood which is mostly populated with fakes. He isn't afraid or embarrassed to open up about his rough up bringing. He is a stand up guy and is such a sweet and genuine man. Never judge a book by it's cover, especially Mickey Rourke.
Wow holy shit he didn't work for 14 yrs..was broke an down..and couldn't get a date ..every chick I knew back in the 80s had his poster on their wall...sly an shown Penn are real dudes real men ..that's why they looked out for him like that ..they knew he was a real talent ..good to see him back ..fucking tom Cruise wish he had the talent like mickey back in the 80s..tom only in my eyes became a good actor in the 2000s..
Well he's an older guy now surgery or not we all get older no one is going to be as hot as they were at 25 when they are 55 so normal people are not so shallow as to only judge someone on their looks. I just shake my head it's such an unreasonable expectation for someone to look 25 forever.
Rumble Fish. I loved it, and thought it was grossly undervalued. Roarke was amazing in it. Dennis Hopper and Matt Dillon were impressive, too. Francis Ford Coppola seemed to get graded harshly, after the 70s.
_You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom_ _Blown on the steel breeze_ _Come on you target for faraway laughter_ _Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!!!_ This _Pink Floyd_ verse kept playing in my head while listening + looking at Mickey. His tattoo should be : *When youre going through Hell, just keep going* ... this man has been there + has shaken hands with the _Devil_ himself. Keep SHINNING + keep GOING Mickey!
Thanks for the uploads Prozac, I always tend to miss Wossy on UKTV...same with Graham Norton. I appreciate the time and effort you take into it. Thanks again!
always liked mickey rourke. i saw him in a load of movies before get carter. he wasnt totally out of work. he was in man on fire and double team at least
I love this guy! He stays thankful and deeply grateful to those that helped him when he was "down and out". He's never afraid to be vulnernable. Gotta love that:)

He was a pretentious Asshole that got him in the situation he was in. Only after he lost everything he got humble.
Mickey seems so relaxed here with Ross. Best MR interview I’ve see. God Bless him. I wish him much success & a very happy life. ❤️😊✌️
I wish more people would be more like Mickey. Utterly sincere, genuine, grounded. He is so unlike many other actors who believe in thier own hype.
I agree, I can't stomach chat shows for that very reason
He is not always grounded but he is sincere and he is tough and seems like fun. He goes against the grain is all.
Spot on x
I love mickey. He genuine and sincere.
And he's kind to animals!
That makes him a great guy in my book.
The most truthful, honest and without a crown on his head. Real man.Great actor. (from Russia with respect)
Always like listening to Mickey, he seems genuine and intelligent.
He's a hard man who's not afraid of his sensitive side.
Greg Williams super. duper. gay dude
Lol
what did you expect?
Agreed!
An awesome human being.
A legend.
An inspiration.
Total honesty.
I've always been a fan.
Rumblefish and Barfly.
The pinnacle of excellence.
Pure genius.
Unlike the,vain freaks,having a go at him on here.
Nobody's.
It just gives me joy,to know these freaks,will be paying a visit to the crematorium,very shortly,just like the rest of us,but nobody will remember them.
Because,they are nobody's.
Unlike Mickey.
He wil be remembered.
A legend.
kilburnicus super intelligent as well and wiser for what he's been through.
kilburnicus totally agree I love the guy he seems very sincere & very genuine he's had highs & lows but just proves even a Hollywood star who hits rocks bottom can come bk to the top I admire mickey he is a legend 👍
kilburnicus
He is a delusional liar.
I like Mickey Rourke but will never respect him until he comes clean on his fake boxing career.
Cringe.
Mickey is the best,sincere heart, too good for Hollywood
Every time I watch these interviews, I am overcome with Mickey love.
Man Sylvester is a really good friend to have,..❤️❤️❤️
Hey Mickey you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind, hey Mickey! Let me tell you something: sexiness has no age. It does not depend on how you look. It is a magnetism from within.

Thank you 👏❣️
The guy is great. Smart , humble , great actor,
always loved this guy, from the very beginning! he is very smart, intelligent,most important honest and down to earth. it just breaks my heart Everytime I see him coz I can tell that he's been thru a lot and is broken to some level!!! whatever that maybe! he had mentioned in another interview he did not have a very good childhood!!
Love this guy. Rent Barfly or Rumble Fish if you're too young to remember how great he once was.
SoulStylistJukeBox he still is a great actor. he just took a different direction and style
+Vader Brecker Fok with Irish in them like O'Rourke, are Great actors
"Anyone can be a non -alcoholic -that's easy"." It takes endurance to be an alcoholic..... and endurance is more important than truth". Barfly
SoulStylistJukeBox Man, Mickey in Rumblefish was the epitome of understated cool.
Pope of Greenwich Village kids
his scene and speech he gives in the expendables is my favourite part of the film, been a fan of him for years, glad he had his come back, should have got his oscar
He dresses beautifully, a real dude!
He is someone i would love to meet, very funny and full of advise, he's made the mistakes but we will always love him because he's so real and honest.
Mickey just grew up and now he's dealing with it
'The Wrestler' was a wonderful movie.
He's a character, true and honest. No glamour pretending..no bs. Everytime he is on the screen he gives that intensity straight through the camera...! Micky Rourke a face to remember!!!
The Pope of Greenwich Village, my all time favourite movie.

Best Mickey interview....My fav actor!!
i really like him. he seems so friendly and intelligent. but what hurts me is that im always sad when seeing him because you can see that he is broken in some way, i just want to hug him and tell him that everything is going to be alright....

Steffi Scholz you and I both!!!
But what about me Steffi?? What about me buaaaaaaaa?? I need your hug as well. Please hug me Steffi. Pleaaaasseee
Broken?everyone is broken and suffering something he’s honest and that’s amazing because being emotionally in tune and able to let it happen is truth
Great to have you back Mickey!
May wanna look at him now, not this show that was shot over 6 years ago. Just saying.

For a 1-day acting job, Mickey Rourke delivered a hell of a performance, in 1-take, that totally put the soul into the movie, The Expendables.
I love Mick..year of the dragon and barfly....epic.
Love u Mickey! There is no other person as you in all world...
He was always down to earth even in the early days
Harley Davidson an the Marlboro man ..my dad bought me the vhs when I was seven I watched once a day ..one day I’m gonna buy a clone bike like that..great movie
He sees right through the "HOLLYWOOD" bullshit! He's so real and genuine....Has always been my hero xo
i have to give respect to him because hes still an awesome actor
I have always liked Mickey Rourke. He's real, down to earth and genuine. He also works hard staying fit. Praying God gives him lots of acting roles in the evening of his life.
I love his movies. A real dude 👊🏾✊🏾
Always been a giant fan of Mickey Rourke. Hope he gets more serious acting roles..
LIVING LEGEND!
There's more to life than looks. He's a very good actor when he does good roles.
Elia Kazan was the one who made that wax fruit comment about actors.Mickey's great and has always been one of my fave actors!
I love Rourke brill actor, still love him in 9 1/2 weeks. down to earth guy.
Me 2 so hot back then 😜

That's how you interview.never disrespect the guess.
Yes, Johnathan was answering back quickly when Mickey was getting a bit choked out, he was trying to make him feel at ease.
about 10 years ago I was walking into Golds gym in venice beach and a bodybuilder looking guy bumped into me and very politely said "please excuse me" guy i was with said do you know who that was, Mickey Rourke..... true story
Legend.
The Pope of Greenwich Village was Mickeys greatest act
It's one of his best. Eric Roberts was good in it, too.
He was frickin' amazing in The Wrestler, so touching, emotional and very down to earth. Randy The Ram, hell yeah!
What have u been smoking, u need a fuckin arrow to the knee.ASAP
Peter North What the actual fuck are you talking about? Lol. What?
Love this man legend 👏and he makes me smile ...... always
Mickey's face is gradually making something of a comeback itself.
Good to see him back! Great redemption.
Awh, Mickey is so calm and serious. I love it! :D
To me, Mickey Rourke totally redefines cool.
Huge fan and willing bed partner right here!:P
What a hoe.
Girl same here- apparently he's an awesome lover and super affectionate to everyone. Plus he loves dogs- hello perfect?!?
Боил Каранейчев then put lol or something after what you said, otherwise you look like the abuser
@Scarlett O Hara How have things changed for you in the last 5 years honey?
according to Mickey he needed reconstructed surgery from boxing and went to the wrong doctor
god i loved him in get carter, i couldnt believe he was gone for so long after great movies earlier, real neat sly brought him back, kinda like quinton brought back travolta. i mean angel heart and bar fly!!!! god bless sly, love mickey

my fav actor..
Mickey is the epitome of cool! Sylvester, Mickey great people!
he's a Legend
This was four years ago and he looked somewhat normal here. He must have had more work done.
Watching in 2020, great interview!
When he looked like him befor all the work he has now
He should’ve stopped here. He was starting to look like himself again
Deadly, great actor
1:56 - “Waxed fruit” is a quote from Elia Kazan, who praised Mickey’s audition to the Actor’s Studio back in the days
can't stop loving this guy after I saw the wrestler.
I wish he would have never had plastic surgery. He seems to be a genuine nice man.
@Steena1988
What are you talking about? He left movies and became a professional boxer for years. His face was smashed up, so he needed it
Mickey’s so great ‼️
OHHH MY GOD HE IS SO NICE!! XD
Legend!
Good actor and an honest man. I pray he finds Christ like Sly Stallone has.
mickey is now and always was a religous man!..i know personally
Michael Lewis honest about his boxing career. Nah,
He’s talked about his faith a few times.
mickey rourke SEXUALLY ABUSED HIS EX-WIFE CARRE OTIS. LOOK IT UP.
Did Christ get lost? Again? Even after Sly Stallone found him? When is Christ gonna learn?
The wrestler is a fantastic film.
I think he's still hot!
Well he's an older guy now surgery or not we all get older no one is going to be as hot as they were at 25 when they are 55 so normal people are not so shallow as to only judge someone on their looks. I just shake my head it's such an unreasonable expectation for someone to look 25 forever.
I LOVE YOU MICKY...
and yeah look at mickey, he got his faced wrecked from boxing cuz he was bored of acting, dude is really marv, a true brawler, love him
Man Mickey should get more roles great actor!
wow this show is awesome he got three of the most well spoken and thoughtful stars for the last episode
He's a snappy dresser!!!
МИККИ ЛЕГЕНДА КРАСАВА ЕМУ МОЖНО ВСЁ ОН ГЕНИЙ ОСТАЛЬНОЕ НАПЛЕВАТЬ ЗДОРОВЬЯ ТЕБЕ МИККИ
He was a handsome bloke back in the day.
Great interview!
I've always been a big fan of William Shatner....big fan !
If you haven't seen spun just watch his porn store scene on youtube maybe the ending scene aswell
I was thinking he is becoming William Shatner as well...
The 'Motorcycle Boy' rides again...
fuck yeah dude
Rumble Fish. I loved it, and thought it was grossly undervalued. Roarke was amazing in it. Dennis Hopper and Matt Dillon were impressive, too. Francis Ford Coppola seemed to get graded harshly, after the 70s.
What’s this ? Another glorious battle for the Kingdom ?
Jonathan, you have always been a laugh! Fab interview!
"Gotta put in your roadwork" - Love that Mickey still talks like a boxer!
_You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom_
_Blown on the steel breeze_
_Come on you target for faraway laughter_
_Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!!!_
This _Pink Floyd_ verse kept playing in my head while listening + looking at Mickey.
His tattoo should be : *When youre going through Hell, just keep going* ... this man has been there + has shaken hands with the _Devil_ himself.
Keep SHINNING + keep GOING Mickey!
Mickey’s looking good, fair play 👌
his looks changed so much wish he did not do the wrestling his face was so nice before; I love his personality
First two movies I seen him in were Pope of Greenwich Village and Rumble Fish. Awesome!
Mickey looks like he was dragged through a hedge backwards!!
he is turning into William Shatner
Down to earth guy, liked the film Harley and the Marboro man!!!
the scene in the expendables mickey speaks of is the only bit of acting in the film. and he knocks it out of the park.
super,love mickey rourke
Thanks for the uploads Prozac, I always tend to miss Wossy on UKTV...same with Graham Norton. I appreciate the time and effort you take into it. Thanks again!
My father knew his ex girlfriend a nice irish girl in Manhattan. She had so many pictures with Micky going to the awards back in the 80s
I wonder what happened to his voice...its so much deeper as a few years before
TylerDurden43 caused by smoking cigarettes
Still in love with him.........
i think he looks great especially his body language .
LOOKS LIKE A TUFF CAPTAIN KIRK!!! 'BEAM ME UP, MFKR!!!"
@shinningneverwhy Oh...thats strang. I really liked Jonathan Ross. So wow. Thank you.
i can watch mickey for hours ,
He reminds me of an older version of Robert Downey Jr :p
always liked mickey rourke. i saw him in a load of movies before get carter. he wasnt totally out of work. he was in man on fire and double team at least
