Mickey Rourke, Why?????

[Shadow Man]

Just watching Angel Eyes on ITV4 now, and I must say from a completely hetrpsexual point of view Mickey Rourke was a very dashing fellow. Classic looks mixed with just the right degree of ruggedness, a bit like Steve McQueen, but in a different way.

Why, therefore has he had God-awful plastic surgery which makes him look like a monster? I can understand why some people have it done (Michael Jackson, for example, is just mad, and Leslie Ash needed to boost her sex appeal, with disastrous results) but why Mssr Rourke.

What posesses people to undergo such drastic measures, when before the surgeons knife they were handsome anyway?

(PS Ladies, I am right about Mickey Rourke aren't I?)

yes very right, he looked better in Sin City than he does in real life :)

In my opinion hes always been a bit minging but his surgery hasnt exactly helped him.

Hiya Shadow :D

In a kinda rugged way, he was nice. As for plastic surgery? Well he got what he wished for. He now looks plastic.

He was, however, in one of my favourite movies.... Domino.

SM, you're right on the money about Mickey Rourke. He was (past tense!) right up my street. In 9 and a half weeks, he was the d's b's (shame the film was pants of course) and absolute sex on legs!

Now though - yuk!! What on earth made him think plastic surgery would be a good idea? And why on earth did he think it was necessary? And how can he possibly go out looking like that? What a waste. If he'd played his cards right, he could've had me....his loss, naturally!!
