I get tons of Mickey Alerts a day, most of them are blah blah blah blogs, usually useless drivel about the misfortunes of Mickey's aged features this day I was alerted to a CHUD.com blog with one of the best reviews I've read about Mickey's past projects since Jeremy's reviews. So hop on over to CHUD.com for a great read written by Matthew Torti.

Some years back (1991, to be exact) when mega-movie star Mickey Rourke decided to embark on a boxing career, an article in a famous boxing magazine stated how the fight offered nothing much more than a chance for the fans' curiosity to be satisfied. Could a regular fighter - one who also had a manual day job - beat up a movie star? Well, it came as no surprise who the majority of the fans wanted to see win - movie star Rourke's opponent, one Steve Powell. (...more)

Did you ever see celebrities behaving badly?
When I first started working there early on, I saw Nick Nolte blowing lunch outside one day. One early evening, Mickey Rourke, Christopher Walken, and Sean Penn came through the door. I thought they were doing quaaludes, they were stewed.… They got there and drooled on the bar, and someone asked them for their autographs. They couldn’t write, and off they went.

Sunday Conversation with Evan Rachel Wood:
How was the Darren Aronofsky set [for "The Wrestler"]?
It was incredible. He's been a director that was very close to the top of people I wanted to work with. I was just having a ball. It's an amazing script, and I think Mickey Rourke is an incredible actor, and all my scenes are with him. Darren warned me in advance, saying, 'It's going to be really get up and go, you're going to come to the set and start shooting. We might not really rehearse, I don't do that many takes, anything can happen.' He wasn't kidding! The first day he said, 'Go in the house, Mickey's outside, just walk out of the house.' We hadn't blocked it, I hadn't even shaken Mickey's hand or anything, and it was a pretty emotional scene. But I was up for it.
It actually really worked out for all the scenes. There was no stopping. I even sliced my thumb open during one of the takes. I have a scar now. And an ambulance came and he said, 'We can stop shooting or we can use Krazy Glue or run it under hot water and keep going.' And I had to keep going. It was in the middle of a take. I'm looking at Mickey and doing this really intense kind of monologue and I'm like, what, is my hand wet? My whole hand is red. Darren's behind the camera going, 'That's great! Look at your hand! ' And he gets the makeup artist over, saying, 'Take a picture of it! We have to take note of this!' There's a lot of blood in the movie.

On his worst days since he quit fighting, trainer Freddie Roach's left arm trembles, his speech is slurred and he is easily fatigued.
He blames boxing for his Parkinson's disease, but he still steps into the ring to work with others because he loves the sport and believes it keeps his condition from getting worse. (....More)
