Hollywood actor, screenwriter, and former professional boxer Mickey Rourke is currently facing eviction and a lawsuit from his landlord after he failed to pay $59,100 worth of rent for his three-bedroom Spanish bungalow in the south of West Hollywood, Los Angeles.According to the civil suit filed by Eric Goldie and reviewed by Rolling Stone, the Wrestler star began renting the place in April for $5,200 per month, which was later increased to $7,000. When he was late to pay several months of rent, the landlord and plaintiff tried to reach him at his apartment on December 18.However, Mickey Rourke, 73, was not present on the property. This is when Goldie posted a notice outside his door, which demanded that the actor either pay his rent within three days or vacate his home.Mickey, whose real name is Philip Andre Rourke Jr., has an estimated net worth of $5 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.The Golden Globe winner is yet to address the lawsuit and eviction notice. A hearing for the rental dispute is scheduled at the Los Angeles County Superior Court on April 6.All about Mickey Rourke’s life earningsMickey Rourke was born in September 1952 in Schenectady, New York. He was raised by a single mother in a Catholic household alongside his siblings after his father left. Later, his mom remarried, and they moved to South Florida, where he attended high school and began amateur boxing as a teenager.Until 25, Rourke won several local boxing tournaments, with a record of 27-3. However, in his late 20s, he tried his hand at acting and debuted with 1941 and Heaven’s Gate, before turning heads with his lead role in the 1981 film Body Heat, followed by Diner the next year.Throughout the 1980s, Mickey Rourke gave back-to-back notable performances in movies such as Rumble Fish, The Pope of Greenwich Village, Year of the Dragon, 91/2 Weeks, Angel Heart, and Barfly.However, his reputation as a difficult colleague on set and poor acting choices slowly impacted his Hollywood career. As a result, in the early 1990s, Rourke left acting and took up professional boxing for four years and was undefeated until his retirement in 1995.But a sudden career change further affected his acting prospects as the fights resulted in facial injuries and multiple surgeries, which altered his appearance. However, he landed supporting roles in projects like The Rainmaker, Buffalo ’66, Man on Fire, and Once Upon a Time in Mexico.Mickey Rourke’s Hollywood comeback happened with Sin City in 2005, where he played Marv. However, his best performance came in the Oscar-nominated and Golden Globe and BAFTA-winning role of Randy “The Ram” Robinson in the 2008 film The Wrestler. This feat also landed him additional but important roles in The Expendables and Iron Man 2 in 2010.Mickey Rourke & Mr Chow 50 Years - Source: GettyUnfortunately, unreliable and poor behavior again got him blacklisted from the industry, something which he addressed in an interview with the Los Angeles Times back then. Mickey Rourke stated:“I lost everything. My house, my wife, my credibility, my career. I just had all this anger from my childhood, which was really shame, not anger, and I used it as armor and machismo to cover up my wounds. Unfortunately, the way I acted really frightened people, although it was really just me who was scared. But I was like this person who was short-circuited, and I didn’t know how to fix myself.”He further told Fox News that he has a "love-hate relationship" with acting and the new generation of actors were "cool" and judged him on his "acting ability" and not his "old reputation." About missing out on the Oscar, he blamed it on himself.“I stupidly said acting wasn't a job for a real man. I threatened producers, raged at directors, forgot my agent's name, burned bridges,” Mickey Rourke added.The Machete actor has been married twice, first to actress Debbie Feuer from 1981 to 1989 and later to model-actress Carre Otis between 1992 and 1998. However, both ended in divorce.Since then, Mickey Rourke has had public romances with several female celebrities, including a long-term relationship with Anastassija Makarenko for six years, until their 2015 split.The Sin City: A Dame To Kill For star has struggled with money, fame, and mental health over the years, largely due to his contentious career and personal relationships. In fact, earlier this year, he was ousted from the two-week-long gig on Celebrity Big Brother UK for using foul and inappropriate words on set, such as telling JoJo Siwa:“If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore.”Mickey Rourke was reportedly paid a huge six-figure sum for his appearance on the ITV reality show, which also starred Patsy Palmer, Chris Hughes, Daley Thompson, Jack P Shepherd, Sir Michael Fabricant, Danny Beard, and Chesney Hawkes. At the time, an insider told Mail Online:“The last time he was really big was during The Wrestler, and he, like everyone else, needs to pay some bills. So doing the show is a no-brainer. He's a producer's dream because he has loads of stories, is a loose cannon, and he is considered a huge get.”The source added:“Producers always hope for the train-wreck, but being a revelation works as well, if we see a new side of Mickey that could work. The worst-case scenario would be if he left early. When he did The Masked Singer a few years ago, he eliminated himself.”However, he has also done his share of charity. For instance, in 1989, he donated $2 million to nonprofits supporting IRA member Joe Doherty.Mickey Rourke, who is a known dog lover and political activist, has also lost his earnings after getting arrested several times, including two DUI cases in 2007 and 2014.Mickey Rourke visits the Acropolis in Athens - Source: GettyEarlier, a section of his salary also came from numerous brand endorsements, such as for Suntory Reserve, Lark Cigarettes, and Daihatsu in the early 1990s and Bavaria Beer in 2010.Four years after the LA Times interview, Rourke spoke with The Standard in 2012 and shared similar sentiments about his rollercoaster life and career.“I wasn't a little bit bad, I was horrible for 15, 16 years. I was out of control, I was out of my mind. I had to lose my house, my wife, my money, my career, everything, for me to fall all the way down to the bottom, then somebody advised me I needed to talk to somebody. I resisted, but I went, because everything was gone.”Mickey Rourke shared that despite having fallen so far and losing everything, seven years of therapy helped him gain perspective and control of his life. However, by then, he had lost $60,000 to the cause of fixing himself.The Wild Orchid actor also confessed that he regrets splurging on cars and other luxury items at the height of his fame, which eventually “broke” him. Mickey Rourke admitted throwing away his life, career, and relationships as he came from a violent background and felt he didn’t deserve success, wealth, and other good things, for a significant part of his life.Likewise, he told Daily Mail in 2009:“Nobody knew just how broke I was. I was paying $500 a month for a one-room apartment with a yard for my dogs. A friend used to give me a couple of hundred dollars a month just to feed myself. I'd be calling up my ex-wife and crying like a baby.”Mickey Rourke's last appearance was in Roman Polanski’s black comedy drama film The Palace in 2023 and on this year’s Celebrity Big Brother UK.The Homeboy actor has rented apartments since 2011, and this is not the first time he has been accused of not paying the rent on time. In 2017, his landlord sued him for unpaid rent worth $30,000 and damages worth $10,000, which included holes in the walls, a broken lock, a damaged bathtub, and unauthorized use of disco lights on the ceiling.Mickey Rourke was also thrown out of Donald Trump’s Plaza Hotel in New York City in 1994 for damage caused to the suite he had been using, including breaking the furniture.It is noteworthy that the Spanish bungalow from which Rourke was recently evicted was originally built in the 1920s and was previously owned by British-American author Raymond Chandler.
