One of the best actors of all time himself Mel Gibson and Brad Pitt , they are the best since Steve McQueen and maybe Errol Flynn , I'll throw in Johnny Depp because he's almost their equal , strange that Micky Rourke and Brad Pitt got to work with Tarrantino Mel don't need he is a great director as well!
Hollywoods a game- they have their rules - behave yourself , Rourke was never going to get that Oscar he hadnt behaved himself during his career. However I thought he was brilliant and also brilliant in angel heart but he did waste his talent for a lot of years which is a shame.
Mickey Rourke is an actor and artist who I deeply admire. He’s a man who wears his heart on his sleeve and carries himself how he sees fit regardless of what others think of him which is something I really respect in anyone but especially a man due to society’s expectations over male expressiveness.
What guys like Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer will never understand is that audiences want to see real people interacting with other real people in real situations, in good stories and realistic dialogue. Human interactions and real emotions ftw! The Wrestler just managed to do that!
It's not like the only good movies made are ones in the real world. The fantasy or comic book movies can be really well done aswell. They just need characters who FEEL real. A character doesn't have to actually be realistic, but they always have to feel real and relatable, and the world around them has to justify the concept brought to the screen. There have been some good movies in the fantasy kind of genres or comic book adaptations. The Dark Knight trilogy is a big example of this. They're based on a comic book series about a vigilante dresses up as a bat, but the movies make the characters and scenarios feel real enough to relate to them, even if the stories they're telling aren't exactly how most realisticly probable.
Okay what's not to love about Mickey Rourke? He's a handsome, love able and sexy Irishman! Although he's been outstanding in many movies The Wrestler was my absolute favorite. He also loves his dogs which truly touches my heart. Mickey, let's go out for drinks and show off our dog pictures!
It's interesting seeing Mickey Rourke's reaction when Marissa Tomei is mentioned at 22:25. He obviously didn't enjoy working with her and just thinking about the experience made him need a Marlboro! I certainly would have liked to have heard his thoughts but Poland clearly saw his reaction and thought it best not to go there.
Pretty interesting since a reporter ask Marissa what she thought it was like working with Mickey Rourke and she completely avoided the question with a question by asking "How come no one ask him what would it like to work with me?" So there were definitely something going on. Judging by Mickey's reaction, it wasn't a good one.
Mickey and Darren are amazing together! Great examples of the actor and director complimenting one another's nature and working style. #whitehotawesome
Both Aronofsky and Rourke are sensitive and brilliant people, maybe this excess in sensitivity has one battle with depression and the other with his alter boxing ego.
Wasn't putting Mickey in his place, he was taking the opportunity for Mickey to hear from interviewer that Fox search light was good. Like ...see I told you Mickey fox is good.
Aronofsky calls The Wrestler a gentle film. Mickey is a powerhouse with the depth that few actors can get to. Great movie and Rourke was born to play this character.
I' m dying for some gossip on Marissa and Mickey working together. They talk ten minutes for Evan and like a split sec for Marissa. One can only wonder what happened there.
What he said about how easily Evan Rachel Wood was able to "bring it" with these heavily emotional, yelling, crying scenes, it's sad to realize now she was almost at the height of an extremely toxic relationship at that time. I know when you're in that, the yelling and crying and arguing are second-nature, and there are alot of negative emotions under the surface that she probably was at least somewhat expressing through that role.
We need more movies like the Wrestler. Hume to human interaction. So tired of the CGI fantasy Movies. I dont evn go to movies any more. Poor writing and acting. All special effects. No real acting ability.
The Wrestler .... One of my favourite films .... Mickey broke my heart with his astonishing performance!

Mickey Rourke got ripped off for the Oscar, he will always be my hero
Hollywoods a game- they have their rules - behave yourself , Rourke was never going to get that Oscar he hadnt behaved himself during his career. However I thought he was brilliant and also brilliant in angel heart but he did waste his talent for a lot of years which is a shame.
Ad hominem, not an argument.
He is the man
they'd rather give it to Sean Penn and Tom Hanks
mickey rourke is a fascinating person and artist
Good times or bad : HE'S STILL THE MAN :
Mickey Rourke is adorable
Thank you Mr Aronofsky for bringing back are true American bad boy.
Real man. Great actor. Mickey Rourke. With no filters. Without a crown on his head.

I get your point... unfortunately box office does not say that. People "clients" enjoys shit movies as transformers

a back to earth actor... one of the best performances i ever saw .
A good movie that is really nothing to do with wrestling but the nature of human beings
14:00 - It happens to everybody. Not just athletes.That's where the film "hits home". Especially if you've experienced it.
love this interview with Darren, smart and really interesting. Love Micky Rourke.
A great interview thanks for uploading. Mickey is an amazing actor.
I love how they hug each other when Mickey comes in.
I know ! I love the way they interact with each other. It's cute ! :)

IRISH?????????????????????? Nope.
Mickey is a philosopher
Mickey is now such a nice guy, so calm and collected, fair play he is doing so well
Self-deprecating Mickey always has & always will be one of the finest actors of the 20th & 21st centuries.
AMEN!!!!
Superb interview. There's a lot more I want to know about how this film was made...what happened on sets, etc. Thanks for posting this interview.
Sounds like a great human being
and a fantastic director.
Impossible to NOT love MR.

What was the problem? I don't know. :P

Mickey is greatest actor of all time.
Every role he played, is a fuckin awesome!!!
Too many more years of great life to him!!!
Merissa Torme never gets mentioned in the wrestler movie by mickey or producers, too bad she helped make it a great movie
Both Aronofsky and Rourke are sensitive and brilliant people, maybe this excess in sensitivity has one battle with depression and the other with his alter boxing ego.
Thanks for uploading !!! Best interview i ever seen
It's nice to see a face to the voice. Also, good interview.
Darren is the only man who can put Mickey in his place lol 26:40
he's a good guy the old darren
That was funny
Wasn't putting Mickey in his place, he was taking the opportunity for Mickey to hear from interviewer that Fox search light was good. Like ...see I told you Mickey fox is good.
One of my favorite movies of all time. A phenomenal return to form from Rourke!
Aronofsky calls The Wrestler a gentle film. Mickey is a powerhouse with the depth that few actors can get to. Great movie and Rourke was born to play this character.
"smokes, lets go"
Frig off, Lahey.
I’m not even a wrestling fan and The Wrestler is one of my top 10 all time favorite movies
The Wrestler, One of my favorite movies. I think of it often . Just random scenes come to me. It has a lot of himan connection.
hoy vi la pelicula!!! me encanto y respecto a mickey rourke espectacular como siempre!!
I truly love Darren... he is cute, smart , funny , interesting...
He has the Ram necklace on.
Mickey is a rare bird and the greatest actor of all time as far as iam concerned
I' m dying for some gossip on Marissa and Mickey working together. They talk ten minutes for Evan and like a split sec for Marissa. One can only wonder what happened there.
Marisa is too old for Mickey to be at all interested in. Obviously. AND, Evan Rachel Wood hadn’t “ come out” ,yet
@@mrsmacca126 Did not see him has having an age type?
GREAT INTERVIEW.. lobster lab media
Mickey's nicotine crisis lol 22:34

Great Movie very real!
Mickey is a lot smarter than he makes himself out to be
Mickey's memory not working right the last time he did play a father he went to hell in that movie Angel heart.
so much for the comeback
+Rusty James lol
Mickey still has a documented drug problem, but his looks still rock.👍
Aronofsky's Rocky
i'm gonna make a come back my wife is in hospice and when she goes, i'll come back to her
Nice man
Wow Rourke's reaction. Lol.
At 24:36 Black Swan is born. ;)
МИККИ ЛЕГЕНДА
If I wasn’t me, I’d love to be him.
mickey is a bad boy.i love u.he was beautiful when he was young.
The Wrestler is a great film and Aronofsky is a great filmmaker.
Guys, I feel like you've interviewed Darren Aronofsky more times than Sarah Brightman has remade Time To Say Goodbye.
Fan-fucking-tastic interview.
Interesting! I didn't know Mickey had some issues with her
22:24 the look on Micky’s face there. Must of been pissed off with her.
fuck. he is real.
Why is he so angry at Chippy?
Mic's the fucking real ultimate warier!!!!!!
"If Madonna taught us anything it's that you need to reinvent yourself." Ahahahahaha Darren.
cam men like dude get your act togetteher cheers
sry iam heart broken hope i save it
26:40 I like how Darren hits Mickey for smoking haha
now , maybe, he hits Jennifer Lawrence for smoking
Did he ever hit Rachel Weisz for smoking? Maybe that’s why they broke up.
Lex Luthor was my favorite wrestler growing up. He got his back broken by Clark Kent and that's how he ended up in the wheelchair.
you're an actor
Evan Rachel wood is amazing.
he's hot tbh
+quillber nice profile pic m8
Why is he injecting his lips? 🤦🏼♂️
Gushing over Evan Rachel Woods and her acting ability, then a big stumble trying to describe Marisa Tomei. Embarrassing.
classic rourke glasses
Darren's hair looks weird here.
29:40
Оо
Lex Luthor?????? hahahahahahaha
Wipe your chin lol
Martina M did he od on cunny lingus?
Martina M oh good point.
Great movie. Love it, but let’s be honest - it’s almost the first Rocky movie. That’s why it worked.
Mickey is such a diva at the beginning. Thank your assistance dude. Good interview though.
annoying rourke...
We need more movies like the Wrestler. Hume to human interaction. So tired of the CGI fantasy Movies. I dont evn go to movies any more. Poor writing and acting. All special effects. No real acting ability.
Love him @lorraineamicothemakeupartist
