Mickey Rourke is still in Rome, and although he’s dressing better than he does in the US (nice suit) – he slacked off on washing his hair. He’s leaving the fancy restaurant Cipriani, and perhaps as a joke, he’s holding hands with his perplexed bodyguard.

Mickey Rourke is shopping in Rome, looking TONS better than the last time we saw him. (He bought some Italian shoes.) Maybe he had a makeover because his movie “The Wrestler” is getting him so much favorable attention. He’s in town for the Rome Film Festival and his constant companion is Loki, his tiny pup.
Life IS full of surprises. Just when everyone was writing off Mickey Rourke as an over the hill has-been, he pulled off an acting triumph! Mickey’s film “The Wrestler” was voted BEST MOVIE at the Venice Film Festival and he will certainly be an Oscar contender! In the movie, Mickey plays a heartbreaking character – an ageing wrestler who is in despair as his body fails him and friends desert him. It just goes to show that looks aren’t EVERYTHING in Hollywood – at least when it comes to men.
Uh-oh! Looks like someone besides Sylvester Stallone has been gobbling Human Growth Hormones – or SOME kind of questionable supplements. Mickey Rourke, 51, plays a flamboyant aging wrestler in his new movie called “The Wrestler.” His blonde character, called Randy “The Ram” Robinson, is loosely based on Hulk Hogan and Steve Austin. Ironically the role was originally intended for Nicolas Cage.
