MICKEY ROURKE HAS OPTED OUT OF STARRING IN GARETH THOMAS STORY

Somebody finally came to their senses and Mickey Rourke, 59, won’t be playing Gareth Thomas, the 22 years younger rough and tumble rugby player who came out as gay in 2009. Gareth approved of Mickey but the role would have required too many computer generated special effects to be cost effective. Mickey found the physical demands were too much for him. Gays had been calling for someone “hotter” to play Gareth and they may have gotten their wish. RocknRolla hunk Tom Hardy, 34, is in talks for the part and he’s more than physically ready.

DOES MICKEY ROURKE LOOK LIKE A RUGBY (FOOTBALL) PLAYER?

We are still perplexed as to why Gareth Thomas, the famous openly gay Welsh rugby player, chose Mickey Rourke to star in his life story. Mickey is 22 years older and doesn’t resemble the athletic Thomas in the slightest. Above, Mickey is in New York training for the part and he’s wearing cat’s eye sunglasses and spandex pants. Gareth looks a whole lot more macho than Mickey does.

Gareth Thomas Gay Mickey Rourke

AGAINST ALL ODDS, MICKEY ROURKE WILL PLAY 36 YEAR OLD GAY RUGBY PLAYER

Mickey Rourke is spending a lot of time in the UK , most likely working on preparations for his movie about Gareth Thomas. Mickey will star as the first rugby player to come out of the closet in 2009. Macho Thomas was tormented by his secret and even and married his childhood sweetheart before admitting he was gay. Although Thomas is 6’3” and 21 years younger than Mickey, he says “He’s the perfect person to play me.” Mickey and Gareth have had several long meetings about the role. Gareth stubbornly insisted on Mickey although “Gays want someone hotter.” Thomas feels Mickey has the right sensitivity for the part.
