Mickey Rourke interview on The Late Show (1994)

[@AGentertainmentofficial]

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.

[@WhoFlungDung]

Reminds me of Once upon a time in Mexico. Didn't realize he really had a dog like that lol.

[@kisslordorochimaru]

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.

[@cryforthemoon]

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.

[@АлисаЧу]

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...

[@lynnlawson4471]

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.

[@francoisnel5253]

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.

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!

[@ReturnOfTheJ.D.]

"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.

[@cryforthemoon]

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.

I always thought Mickey was misunderstood. Perhaps by certain roles he had, he became stereotyped - but acting is acting and actors need the work, so what are you going to do 🤷‍♀️ Some of his roles certainly portrayed him to be a tough, (and very sexy) guy and often I'm betting actors will choose roles to work out demons or desires and it can be very therapeutic. I've heard the opposite too, however, that actors have also been negatively affected by roles also. You can tell Mickey is very sensitive and kind and perhaps quite introverted - which can give off the impression of being a bit of an enigma, and as stated, he has often been disillusioned by the business of Hollywood; which entirely makes sense given his personality. I've always been a fan of his roles and from the little I know, him as a regular guy. I hope he is doing well 🙏 and I'll always hope for his success - professional and personal ❤
