MICKEY ROURKE SHOCKER

description

According to The Wrestler Golden Globe winner Mickey Rourke when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

The comeback kid, Mickey, who’s winning kudos for his riveting performance in The Wrestler, admitted he really did all those body slams, rope dives and backflips himself.

Although the pugnacious thesp doubled his 80 minute kick ass workouts with an Israeli cage fighter and ate seven meals a day, a men’s fitness mag claimed he was  taking steroids to beef up his sculpted and bruised physique.

When queried about the use of muscle enhancers, the Globe winner said, "When I’m a wrestler, I behave like a wrestler."   

Rourke is reportedly armoring up as baddie The Crimson Dynamo to give Robert Downey, Jr. a good beating in the Iron Man sequel. 

No word yet whether his tag team partner Titanium Man will be joining him for the Marvel Comics smackdown.
