No one ever talks about Barfly (1987) written by the great Charles Bukowski and co-starring Faye Dunaway. It's not a maintream film but it was a great role for Rourke.

Love his honesty❤️🌻❤️

MR's genius is having found a niche as the greatest of all anti-heros, such as in "Barfly," "The Wrestler," "Bullet," "Sin City," and "Homeboy " Then, MR let us down. Perfect!

I have always liked Mickey Rourke.

I Great Actor loved seeing him in the movie

Mickey's worse enemy is Mickey. Sad. Good actor.

Mickey is as real as it gets!💯

Here is a person that in no way was brought up as an entitled person, a person who took his life by the horns and made it work. Even thinking about his points of negative life, he did not ride the trauma train, as a victim. Here is a man that is responsible for his actions through a wild childhood. I love this when elitists want to point out the disparities and how people are held back when this is reality. Get off the victim train and take some accountability.

STILL ONE OF THE BEST OUT THERE . HE LIVES LIFE ON HIS OWN TERMS

now we are stuck with 99.9 nepo actors.....that magical actors that came from nowhere and had something magical has been taken from of us.

It’s a cryin shame that Mickey never gets credit for the movie Bullet. It had a great cast, including a role played by Tupac. But it’s as if the movie never existed. You can’t even find it for purchase. One of his best.

Piers Morgan is a Class A Wanker

My favorite actor besides Val Kilmer. Both have been called “difficult” actors. Both are trained actors in some by of the best schools/teachers. Rourke by Seacat and Kilmer at Julliard.

13:05 we finally get a good look at Phil shredding!!

I always watch wild orchid because you can see how much in love he was with that woman

This is great.

The eyes never change, the smile still a hint of mischief, the result: pure magic.

His. Voice. Makes. Me. Melt. Strong, powerful, no nonsense, magnetic.

I LOVE Mickey Rourke‼️ I always will every word to explain who he really is has to be done meticulously in PURE ❤️ He's my Hollywood Hero , Because he is an UNRELENTING HUMAN BEING ON SCREEN AND OFF , POW👊🏾‼️🏆🎊 Here 2 ya Mick 😘💕✨

I like him, and always have

Looks like they fixed his botched surgery he looks a million times better and looking sexy for his age.

Happenin’ cat… the wrestler was stunning

cool I love going clubs for live ROCK

I was a teenager in the 80’s and I remember Mickey back then a little. His name was big, and then I recall at one point wondering what happened to him. When I saw him again after boxing I was shocked to see how he looked, and didn’t know why he would leave acting to box. His story is a movie in itself and I admire how he has come full circle and knows exactly who he is, demons and all. He looks like he’s at peace with himself, and that’s all anyone can hope for.

Traumatic, violent, molestation, shame, belittling, and humilation were the norm in my journey. Adoption was not the answer. First time time I saw Mickey. I was drawn to his energy. Absolutely love this man, an inspiration. Many parallels, the "block," took many Jackie Browns❤

Sounds like s.xabuse through his stepfather. Poor little boy. And this shit is generational satanic and evil. So I think his "stepdad" was a.....nor worrh a word

God, Piers in incredibly irritating - he constantly leads and half answers his own questions and is determined to frame this interview. Just shut up and let the guy talk.

eric roberts , oh y eah i remember him in rumble fish, he played the fish

Barfly is a classic 👌

Barfly was is best performance in the art firm of acting

これはハマるぜ！　ピーターバラカン🙌

ﾃｷﾄ~純次参上！(^^ )

Im 56 but i feel and behave like im 22 hah!

Mickey is a good boy just lost

So glad i clicked on this 😊 only know him from Sin City otherwise 😂

Having complex PTSD from childhood I perfectly understand being absolutely uncompromising. We become our own worst enemy but retain the dignity of being ourselves no matter what, but overall, bad pasts just make life extremely hard.

'Normal' every day people have the same problems too. He's not particularly interesting.

Love MR, ❤️❤️❤️

Are you gay?

Nice interview..

Wtf was that punch lol

So sorry your mother didn't PROTECT you😥😥😥

Mickey has been through hell in his childhood. I feel for him.

That’s truley amazing about his father in the bar was meant to be

love that movie bullet he did with 2pac

I love the way he can look at you and not say a word and say so much. His smile is calming and sincere.

Makes no difference if he has 50-broken noses he was/is always the sexiest man ever. ❤

This interview underscores how miserable life can be if you don't have a saving relationship with the Lord Jesus.

I just love his acting such a handsome man still beautiful I'm actually going to watch his movie tonight ❤❤❤❤❤❤your so adorable.drop the pain love .put the baggage at gods feet he's real and that little boy is grown and on a new path my brothers went threw the same thing and it has never helped them to carry such baggage I also suffered but will never let the past pull me backwards .I'm not that helpless child anymore and live for today and who I am now .reliving my pain will just put me back where I never wanted to be .keep going my love you are free❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Why Mickey hates it? It’s a lot of guy’s favourite movie! He should like it!
