ROURKE SLASHED HIMSELF FOR FIGHT FILM
MICKEY ROURKE spilled blood in his latest movie role as a wrestler - by deliberately cutting himself with a blade during a fight scene.
The Angel Heart star taped a razor blade to his wrist and sliced his face as the cameras rolled, to make his part in upcoming film The Wrestler more realistic.
His co-star Wass Stevens tells the New York Daily News that Rourke took the drastic action after hearing how real-life fighters sometimes faked injury - to the delight of fans watching.
Wass says, "So Mickey taped a blade to his forearm, and when the time was right, sliced his forehead."
