Mickey Rourke, famous for playing Mickey Rourke mostly, pissed off a lot of people some time ago (especially GLAD) when he called a journalist by a homophobic slur for writing that Rourke was dating Evan Rachel Wood.
According to The Sun, Rourke said, "She's a good friend, that's it. And tell that f***ot who wrote all that shit in the paper I'd like to break his fucking legs."
So, naturally, when everyone thought, "Wow. That was kind of harsh. Maybe just give a little bit of an apology, eh, Mickey?", Rourke thought, "Yeah...fucking...right."
Rourke responded with:
- "I don't really give a fuck. Life's too short."
- "I have more gay friends than any 50 straight people I know, so I don't really give a shit."
- "I meant what I said."
Anyway, below is a video from 1994, which just kind of hints at why we shouldn't ever be surprised by what Mickey Rourke says.
