Mickey Rourke has officially lost his rented home in Los Angeles.
Rourke’s former mansion on Drexel Avenue is now back in the hands of landlord Eric T. Goldie, according to court documents obtained by Page Six on Tuesday.
The judgment was filed in default in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday. This means the Celebrity Big Brother alum is unlikely to be able to appear in his defense or respond to the charges in time for the court deadline.
According to the complaint, the order was for “possession” of the residence and not for damages. People magazine first reported the news on Tuesday.
Representatives for Rourke did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
A December court filing asked Rourke to vacate the home within three days or come up with $59,100 in back rent.
Rourke, 73, was seen removing belongings from her home in January, and a day later a U-Haul truck appeared in her driveway. At the time, Page Six learned that the “Iron Man 2” actor was staying at a luxury hotel in West Hollywood, Calif., with prices starting at $550 a night.
Meanwhile, Lia-Joel Jones started a GoFundMe in Rourke’s name, trying to raise $100,000 to prevent the eviction.
However, the actor vehemently denied any involvement in the fundraiser. The “confused” and “frustrated” actor claimed in an Instagram video in January that he wasn’t looking for “fucking charity” and insisted: “That’s not me, okay?”
“You wouldn’t know in a million years what a GoFund(Me) foundation is,” Rourke said as he cradled a small dog, adding that he was “too proud” to ask for help.
“If I need money, I don’t ask for charity,” he said. “I’d rather stick a gun up my butt and pull the trigger…My life is very simple. I’m not going to access outside sources like that.”
Her manager, Kimberly Hines, told TMZ in January that despite being inundated with job opportunities, Rourke is holding out for a top-tier salary and would not work for less than $200,000 a day.
“He’s rich poor, if that makes sense,” a source told the Daily Mail in January about Rourke’s finances, noting that he “has lived a rock star life with years of drug and alcohol abuse.”
“He has the means to earn a lot of money by appearing in movies and reality shows, but he spends it so quickly that by the time he starts making money, he is back at square one,” they claimed.
