Mickey Rourke is quickly running out of time to finance his Hollywood lifestyle by paying the back rent on his current property and he may have found just the solution.
According to sources, the once admired actor is considering writing a tell-all about the “dirt” he has on those in the business.
The news came amid the reports about his eviction and the fact that one of his staff members initiated a GoFundMe in his name, something he categorically rebuked.
While on the verge of losing his Los Angeles home, the Oscar-nominated actor’s manager Kimberly Hines set up the online fundraiser for him.
Reaching a target of nearly $100,000 in 24 hours, Mickey took to his Instagram and refused any association with the financial scheme.
“Somebody set up some kind of foundation or fund for me to donate money, like in a charity, and that’s not me, OK? If I needed money, I wouldn’t ask for no f****** charity. I’d rather stick a gun up my a** and pull the trigger,” he said.
Now, an insider has told Globe that the Iron Man star may come out with a tell-all to raise money because he “can be a loose cannon.”
“Mickey can be a loose cannon,” the source claimed. “The temptation to dish real dirt will be hard to resist because the more dirt he spills, the more secrets he spills — the more money he’ll make.”
It was further reported that Mickey Rourke currently owes $60,000 in back rent payments while his manager has since “secured an apartment for her client and retrieved his belongings.” Though it was reiterated that the donations will be “returned” if the actor doesn’t want them, with Hines’ main “goal” being to get him work “and claims that he’s already received four movie offers.”
