by

Fans were surprised by recent photos of Mickey Rourke outside his Los Angeles home. The actor, famous for his performance in The Wrestler, was briefly seen picking up food deliveries on New Year’s Day, and many didn’t immediately recognize him.

I was really surprised to see him out and about, especially since I’d just read reports that he was having some serious financial difficulties and was struggling with where he was living. It just felt… unexpected, given everything.

73-year-old actor Mickey Rourke was spotted picking up takeout and groceries at his home. He had shaved his head and was dressed casually, and he didn’t stop to talk to anyone before going back inside. This was a rare public appearance for Rourke, who generally keeps a low profile these days.

According to records, he received an official notice in mid-December requiring him to either pay what he owed or move out. He owes approximately $60,000, with a monthly rent of about $7,000.

Property records show the house is a renovated, older Spanish-style home with multiple bedrooms. According to legal documents, an eviction notice was both posted on the property and sent by mail after attempts to contact the residents at the door went unanswered.

Mickey Rourke became a well-known actor in the 1980s, delivering powerful performances in films like Body Heat, Diner, and 9½ Weeks. Surprisingly, at the peak of his success, he left acting to become a professional boxer, which significantly altered his career and how the public saw him.
