*Mickey Rourke on a casting-couch situation, from an interview around 1986*
Mickey Rourke narrates back when he was up-and-coming, he once had an encounter where someone promised him a role if he was willing to go to bed with him. Mickey says he was smart enough to walk away. *"I didn’t want it that bad,"* he adds.

Good for him for walking out. Respect. Too many people don’t, and that’s the sad part they don’t put in the headlines.
Yea, good on him for walking away, but… How young were those “young boys”, exactly? Hopefully not so young that he doesn’t feel guilty for not informing CPS…
Do who was the Jacques director who worked with Brando?
That really him? He was handsome. Wtf happened…
Never realized how similar him and Bruce Willis looked back then. Like, they could be brothers.
I legitimately did not believe this was Mickey Rourke at first. I figured he was showing up later in the video. I didn’t realize until this second that I’ve never seen a picture or video of him before all the work he’s had done. He’s truly unrecognizable.
He had such a great smile, maybe the best in the business.
Contrast this with how was on Big Brother. Its incredible. He literally became the thing he hated.
