Mickey Rourke's real age, net worth and partner as he faces calls to be axed from Celebrity Big Brother
Apr 8, 2025
ITV viewers watched actor and former professional boxer Mickey Rourke enter the Celebrity Big Brother house during the live launch night
Former professional boxer Mickey Rourke caused quite a stir when he made his debut on Celebrity Big Brother on Monday night.
The actor, who appeared in the likes of Iron Man 2, Sin City and The Expendables, seemed to be taken by host AJ Odudu when he entered the house, which didn't go down well.
Mickey started off his career in the 1980s and played supportive roles in the likes of Body Heat and Diner. It wasn't long before he got his first leading role in Rumble Fish and Year of the Dragon.
However, Mickey decided to leave the acting scene briefly to pursue a career in professional boxing after training in his early years, although he later went back to filming again.
As the actor prepares to spend three weeks inside the Celebrity Big Brother house, we've taken a look into his life.
Why is Mickey Rourke facing calls to be removed from CBB house?
On Monday (April 7) night, Mickey was visibly staring at the presenter and decided to twirl AJ around before pulling her in for a close embrace.
Managing to turn him around, the actor prolonged his entrance as he was engaging with the live audience.
This resulted in AJ and Will being forced to intervene and push him into the home, although he was seen trying to lead AJ in with him. However, it's clear viewers watching were less than impressed with his antics, as many are calling for him to get axed.
