Former Hollywood heartthrob Mickey Rourke has not had the best start to 2026. The actor and professional boxer looked unrecognizable in new photos, which were published just weeks after news broke that he is reportedly facing eviction.
Mickey Rourke had an infamous stint on Celebrity Big Brother UK in 2025
In the newly released photos, an unrecognizable Mickey – who once starred in the likes of The Wrestler and Sin City – collected a food delivery outside his Los Angeles home. It’s the first time the 73-year-old has been seen since rumors that he is facing possible eviction.
Last month, TMZ reported that Mickey had received a 3-day notice to pay a backlog of rent. If he didn’t, he’d be forced to move out of his Los Angeles home. Per court documents obtained by the news outlet, Mickey owed $59,100 in rent, and compensation for attorney fees and damages sought by the homeowner.
Responding to the unrecognizable photos, one person said on X: “Oh wow.”
“Man’s been through the wars,” someone else said, while another person posted, “2025 hit him hard.”
And speaking of which, 2025 saw Mickey removed from the Celebrity Big Brother UK house. He was ejected from the competition by producers after just a few days for repeatedly – and controversially – breaking the rules.
While in the house, Mickey was caught making inappropriate and homophobic comments towards JoJo Siwa. On a separate occasion, Mickey came close to a physical interaction with another male housemate. And, in a third incident, he made sexually inappropriate “jokes” towards reality star Ella Rae Wise.
Speaking about his removal from the show, Mickey’s representative said he was “unjustly” denied his paycheck and was considering filing a lawsuit as a result.
