ROURKE’S SISTERS SUPPORT HIM IN NEWSPAPER WAR WITH STEPDAD
Golden Globe Award winner MICKEY ROURKE’s sisters have come to the star’s defence following a scathing New York Times article written from his stepfather’s viewpoint.
Rourke has often blamed his stepdad for his brutal youth in interviews and the man at the centre of the actor’s torment recently hit back by giving his version of events to the newspaper.
He painted Rourke as a fake, who made up stories about his youth to justify his tough-guy image.
But the actor’s sister and stepsister recently rallied for their brother, telling the Times that Rourke’s version of events was the correct one.
And now The Wrestler star is fighting back with a piece in U.S. magazine Men’s Journal.
He says, "I studied and struggled and persevered and concentrated and focused like a f**king monk to be the actor that I am, and then I threw it all away.
"You don’t do that unless you got issues, and those issues are f**king real.
And there’s no grey there. They’re all f**king black and white."
