Mickey Rourke was a shadow of his previous self when he emerged from his Beverly Hills home with a rare public sighting.
In the photo obtained on page 6, a 72-year-old Celebrity Big Brother UK graduate left home on August 11th to talk about pest control and termite techniques.
Rourke was seen wearing an unzipped gray hoodie with no shirt underneath. He also wore green leisure pants and sneakers.
The former professional boxer who underwent multiple reconstructive surgeries due to his injuries appeared to be confused with messy gray hair.
The 80s icon starred in the memorable 1986 romance “9 1/2 Weeks,” along with Kim Basinger, embellished with a silver-tone necklace during an hour of conversation and carried a white paper bag.
The sightings take place four months after the actor launched “Celebrity Big Brother UK” for “threatening and aggressive behavior.”
An ITV spokesman issued a statement in April confirming that the former athlete had “agreed to leave” following “the further use of cases of inappropriate language and unacceptable behavior.”
“Mickey was ready to leave the house, so it ultimately felt like a mutual decision between him and ITV,” a source told the Sun at the time of multiple clashes with Rourke’s castmates. “It was getting too many.”
Rourke first fired for his actions in the previous show, which attacked the “Karma” hitmaker with a string of homophobic remarks.
“Do you like girls and boys?” the “Sin City” actor asked in footage of the show. “Me? A girl. My partner is non-binary,” she replied, referring to her former partner, Cass Ebbs.
Rourke’s response hinted at the possibility of changing the sexual orientation of the “dance mom” alum. “If I stayed for more than four days, you won’t be gay anymore,” he said.
Rourke later sparred after saying he would “vote lesbians” along with castmate Chris Hughes (now in a romantic relationship). The statement was filled with quick responsibilities from wrinkles that labeled the comment “homophobia.”
Hughes told the actor “I can’t do that,” but Rourke said he needed “AF-G” and added to the wrinkles, “I’m not talking to you.” Hughes told Starr he couldn’t use dim rog language at home, but Rourke told him he was “talking about cigarettes.”
Rourke was warned that he would “remove” from the cast if the action continued. Rourke apologised at the time, saying he “has no dishonorable intentions.”
However, the situation escalated when Hughes gave Rourke a notable side eye while the cast members were performing the task they dressed the pirates.
Sources told The Sun the actor “didn’t like Chris dismiss him with his side eye and hugged him a lot of Smack Talk.”
“On this occasion, it was offensive, threatening and offensive,” they added. “But it didn’t get physical and security and the producers didn’t need to intervene.”
Rourke once again apologized after being sent from the series. “I stepped on the line,” he said in a statement, adding that he was clearly a “work ongoing” with a “short fuse.”
“I’m responsible for doing the wrong thing. I’ve lost my temper and I’ve been trying to tackle it for the rest of my life.”
