ROURKE HINTS HE TOOK STEROIDS TO BULK UP FOR THE WRESTLER
MICKEY ROURKE has hinted he took steroids to achieve his muscle-bound look for new movie THE WRESTLER.
The actor piled on the pounds to play heavyweight retired grappler Randy ‘The Ram’ Robinson in the film, a role that earned him a Golden Globe award on Sunday (11Jan08).
Rourke worked out twice a day with an Israeli cage fighter and gorged on seven meals a day to bulk up for the part.
But in a new interview with Men’s Journal he suggests he had a little extra help to speed up the process - by indulging in a drug synonymous with the world of pro wrestling.
When asked if he took steroids, the star replies, "When I’m a wrestler, I behave like a wrestler."
