Must Watch: Mickey Rourke Video Interview

Resident culture snob.

Nov

2008

The must watch interview of the season. Mickey Rourke is fired up and ready to talk about The Wrestler, life, and acting. This is engaging and honest stuff.

“I fought the system and it kicked the living shit out of me. If I had to do it all over again, I would do it all over again differently.”

The Wrestler (Row Three Review) opens Christmas in limited release.

Original video via The Hot Blog.

I have yet to see The Wrestler, but I have intended to since learning about the project. Rourke really is a fantastic actor, and I am a big fan of Darren Aronofsky. This interview gave me a whole new level of respect for Rourke, and only increased my want to see this film.

Good stuff, Kurt!

Shit that interview just blew me away. It’s always fantastic to see these guys, who have basically fucked up their life for so long come back stronger than ever and full of grace.

And I still have to see the damn movie.

This was an excellent movie. Mickey was haunting. I was thinking about his character for days. What an incredible performance. I think Mickey Rourke will be in a lot of movies coming up. He is a talent that directors are going to want to work with.
