Mickey Rourke has a heart of gold.. He used to own a fancy nightclub on South Beach back in the 90's, at the end of the night, on Mickey's orders no food was to be thrown in the garbage but instead was to be given to the homeless.. I'll never forget that, I'm doing way better now but I'll never forget how thoughtful his gesture was at that time.. Mickey Rourke is the real deal.. Miami remembers..

@loveandjapan 8 месяцев назад

I can confirm your take on him as down to earth and genuine. Within a year of him filming this interview and the same week that he won the Golden Globe for The Wrestler, he ended up at a nightclub in NYC's meatpacking district I used to frequent. He spent the entire evening at our table and I got to talk to him for most of the night. I came away from that thinking what a great guy he is. So humble, grateful, honest, and funny. I also spent a lot of time at Socialista, the club where this interview was filmed, but didn't run into him there. That was a fantastic little spot for a New York minute.

I agree. This interview is one of the most sincere and honest I've seen. He speaks with truthfulness and it was obvious he endured a great deal of sadness and maltreatment when a child. It breaks my heart for him but he has helped a great many people who saw this. He was very accurate when he points out the trauma and negativity stays with a person; it doesn't go away. It's not the flu. His films are so well done. It is hard for me to watch, "The Wrestler", without weeping.

Piers? Nah. This was an easy interview for him, sort of going low level "pro", asking good questions, simply being... human, once in a while. Usually he is not that, especially involving politics. Don't mistake that one time of "kindness" for his weakness, or something that he is doing all the time. Piers is not that guy, never has been. Just once in a while (out of other 99%) he can pull something good. But never mistake that for something that he is doing all the time. He is not. Far from it. Edit: grammar & spelling here and there....

Back in the day, Mickey Rourke was bigger than Brad Pitt and George Clooney (and a much better actor). He had looks, talent and a certain degree of danger about him, which is sorely lacking with today's stars. Modern actors try to act cool and tough, but they're kind of a joke. Rourke was the real deal.

That is a fascinating and totally honest interview. I can not say that I have EVER seen an actor be so honest in an interview. He is at home with himself, and he understands his past, and he is grateful to be an actor, and he is aware that he is a damn good actor;-- and it is his raw acting talent that carried him thru all his mistakes. As you watch, look at how he is truly listening to Piers. He is not distant, or bored, or arrogant at all. So even as life dealt him some setbacks, he has LEARNED from them. He is a wise man now.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt Tell us please of the great daring, defeats and victories you have strived for in your life.
