Mickey Rourke: Before & After
Star magazine features a weekly column called "Knifestyles of the Rich and Famous". They'll have a dazzling before picture of the victim in their youthful glory (see above). And then......
right next to it, a horrifying after photo complete with comments detailing all the surgery, injections and implants the victim has had. They called Mickey "stretched and lumpy" and said that his "tight face-lift...is deteriorating..." Yeah, he looks a bit shiny and melty, but he's a mighty fine actor.
I want to buy my art supplies where YOU shop. Cuz in the store I frequent they don't sell ink in colours "venom", "evil" and "snark".
Damn. You just keep getting better and better! Do you take requests? I really want to see that rat face Tom Cruise after the 14 treatment!

I loved Mickey as Merv in Sin City....I don't think they could have casted a better person for the role. I think Mickey went for those face-stuff because he probably got whacked in the face lots when he took up professional boxing.

Just in Sin City.

God, that's so fuckin' sweet, Use Once & Destroy. Comforting, really.
Thanks,
Mickey

There's humor and pathos here. Mick is one helluva great cinema tough guy, and his current Silly Putty visage saddens even as it amuses. You're spot-on yet again.
Gotta echo Knuckles' sentiments here. That rodent-choppered, overcompensating pipsqueak Cruise needs a 14 Spa treatment. Big time.

GREAT in Sin City - and the makeup helped...
He is looking Grinchy, ain't he?
Posted by: kittykowalski | June 20, 2005 at 10:26 PM
Yes. This is *exactly* what he looks like now. The hair ties it all together... like some gross lumpy aged alien baby.

Mickey Rourke could be a Bat Villain too.
Clayface.

I know he can act, and I don't give much of a shit about his social skills, but has anyone here ever read his "poetry" ? There was a joke in National Lampoon about 15 yrs ago, as I recall, that printed some of his scribblings alongside some crap made-up by the editors, and the reader was invited to guess which was which. "I'm not a poet, I just play one in real life." (I made that up after suffering through "Barfly.")
Still, he was great in "Sin City," and we'll always have Johnny Favorite. ("I know who I am!") Having said that, though, I just wish he'd cheer up, or something. At least he hasn't had his limbs blown off like some child playing in the streets of Iraq. Sheesh, and I thought I felt sorry for myself. I keep drunkenly typing on and on and have the sinking feeling that this post won't make the cut. Hurrah!

Listen, I'm from the city in the country who knows what "tough guy" and "sexy" mean - Boston. The men here are incredible - the inner-city men. Mickey Rourke still blows them all away - to the point that he's been my screen saver for months now. And I do mean the "New Mickey" - better than before. He is truly the "Ultimate Tough Guy". He rocked then, he rocks now, and he'll rock forever.

i still want to fuck him

Look, assholes...
Mickey Rourke is one of the greatest actors of his time. And of this time. He has had a great career in the past, and he still continues to play numerous roles in todays films. So, anyone who likes to judge Mickey in some of the choices he has made in past are f***ing dumb. We all have gone through rough times. Mickey just bounced back and has kicked ass in the films he has done in recent years. And his bankroll shows that. I got your back Mickey. F*** the rest of you.

PLEASE do a Before and After of scary, cat-like Nicole Kidman, who used to be so beautiful, and now has her nose pinched together and her eyebrows stapled to the ceiling.

No one else can conjure up a suspense on screen like Mickey can. My favorite actor. So unique! Christ you're even a better actor now than you were in the 80's! Thats saying something! Amazing comeback. The very best in Sin City and fantastic in Domino too!! Keep at it man!!!

The Mick... I'm glad he's back, been a fan since a kid in the 80's. Matter of fact, rented YEAR OF THE DRAGON just last night; truly the greatest actor of his generation. This is a great site, as a portrait artist I am amazed by your work here, keep it up!
P.S. Are acrylics your medium? Whatever you use, it looks fantastic.
