“I had to go back to boxing because I was self-destructing. I had no respect for myself being an actor. So I went back to a profession which really humbled me.”

—Mickey Rourke

Synopsis

Actor Mickey Rourke was born in New York on September 16, 1952. His work in the film Body Heat (1981) won him notice, and he became a sex symbol with the release of 9 1/2 Weeks(1986). After pausing his acting career in the 1990s to pursue professional boxing, Rourke returned to the big screen with several small roles, eventually reestablishing his star credentials with his performance in the 2008 film The Wrestler.
