A Prayer For The (Almost) Dying
Thu, 08/10/2009 - 11:44 by HM writer

Mickey Rourke has revealed that he was on the verge of suicide before he turned his life around and started going to church every evening. Is he sure he's not getting it confused with Boujis?

Mickey, who was looking as human as ever as he took a stroll in New York yesterday, has admitted that a priest helped save his life as he battled with drink and drug addiction.

He said:

"One day I looked in the mirror and I saw myself the way others saw me. I saw the armour and I scared the f**k out of myself.

 

"I did see a priest for a while, a great one who stopped me from blowing my brains out. We'd go in the basement, he'd pour me a glass of wine, we'd smoke cigarettes, and then we'd pray. But I needed a shrink too, so I forced myself to go.

 

"I had to learn not to let people push my buttons, find out what was triggering all this rage, and stop throwing things away. I've barely missed a therapy session in over a decade, and that takes willpower."

Which he left accidentally left behind during his recent stay in London...

  • I am glad to read he has discovered the power of god and is one step closer to the kingdom of heaven. It is a great feeling to see miracles like this save those who seem so lost, I hope others will learn from his story!

  • Of course, my dear. Rourke has owned a number of chihuahuas (the picture) so he would have to be a double-hard, don't-fuck-with-me bastard to walk down the street with one of those. I think he is very cool.

  • according to his beany he's turned to the other side anyway which would explain his rampant drinking.... someone should tell him (slowly and clearly) he needs to put the glasses arms UNDER the hat.

  • He wasn't THAT good looking back then, and he was a total cunt. People just have rose tinted glasses about 'original' Mickey Rourke, which is the only thing that makes it possible to look at 'new and improved' Mickey Rourke without feeling ill.
