UPDATE: How do you kiss an Oscar goodbye?
Mickey Rourke, what were you thinking? Appearing on Larry King Live and exchanging barbs with Chris Jericho? Nothing says Oscar like challenging a professional wrestler to a bare-knuckle fight. It looks like Sean Penn and Frank Langella’s chances at winning the Oscar just got a whole lot better.
Update: The Defamer says Mickey Rourke is out of WrestleMania. Rourke’s publicist, someone with some sense, decided it was better to win an Oscar than to play wrestle, career-wise:
“Mickey was very honored to be asked as he has the greatest respect for WWE however he will not be participating in Wrestle-Mania. He is focusing entirely on his acting career.”
Too little, too late? Well, if he doesn’t win the Oscar, you know people are going to point to this flirtation with real fake wrestling as the reason why.
