The biography and personal life of actor Mickey Rourke are full of interesting events, ups and downs. Philippe Andre Rourke, Jr. (real name of the star), was born in 1952 in New York, Schenectady. At his parents, Anna and Philip, he was the first-born. Later, Mickey had a brother Joseph, who in 2004 died of cancer, and sister Patricia. His pseudonym is due to his father, who called his son in honor of his idol, basketball stars, Mickey Mantle.
When the boy was 6 years old, his parents divorced, and the mother, having taken the children, moved to Miami, in the poor province of Florida, Liberty City. There she remarried a former policeman, who often beat not only Mickey, but also his mother. Because of this, Rourke grew aggressive and spent most of his time on the street, in a society of bad people.
As a teenager, to start his aggression somewhere, he started boxing. This fascination later developed into a real profession. However, at the age of 19, during the fight, the opponent inflicted a serious brain injury on Mickey Rourke, and the guy was forced to leave the box.
The beginning of his acting career, he owes a role in the play "High Supervision", when he studied at the university. It was then that he fell in love with acting and decided at all costs to conquer Hollywood.
In 1978, at the age of 26, Mickey Rourke went to Los Angeles, where attempts were made to break through to the big stage. After a while Steven Spielberg offered him a modest role in the film "1941". After filming this picture, Rourke began to receive more proposals. However, the first time the roles were secondary. But, despite this, the realistic game and the actor's talent attracted the attention of the European audience, and thanks to the role in the tape "Fighting Game", the actor received the title of a world-class star.
Unlike a career as an actor, the star did not have a personal life. He was married twice, and twice divorced . The first wife was Debra Feuer, with whom he lived for 8 years. With his second wife and partner on the set, Carrie Otis, he lived for 6 years. For all these years, neither from the first nor from the second marriage, the children of Mickey Rourke never appeared. Perhaps a difficult childhood, constant battles in the ring, broken kidneys and led to the fact that the star could not have children.
