I've been depressed, a 40 year old single dad, bankrupt and broke to the bone, scouring youtube for some kind of inspiration, motivation or light to just give me a boost and to just crawl back n get back on my get .... and i found all that in mickey in this 6 min video .... thanks dude, god bless and stay legendary
LMAO I never even thought of that. I STILL to this day think he should have won. I liked Sean Penn in Milk but Mickey's performance just really gave me the feels.
What is there to say, except: There is only one Mickey Rourke! He´s one of the kind. Wish there were more actors like him in Hollywood. Amazing speech, filled with humor, honesty and gratitude. And... his little dog... had passed away... Oh, there is no man more good-hearted than a man who loves his dog!
I love that he gives props to Eric Roberts. Anyone who saw Eric's earlier work knows that as an actor he is head and shoulders above his one-note sister. Mad love for this guy.
And thank you Darren Aronofsky for sticking your neck out and giving this man another chance. You knew he had talent and he brought it. Now he is back on the map. Good job Darren.
He didn't have notes, a script, shitty jokes or planned puns. He got up and he spoke his mind. Not enough people do that nowadays and I think it causes more problems than it stops.
GET HOME OFF! -- Even Eric Roberts was trying to shut this mouthy asshole off. He should've been watching out for his own career. ... and concentrate on remembering peoples' names.
This man is a real badass. Not an ounce of put-on masculinity. He just IS masculine, and he IS cool and he IS tough. You goofy guys out there with your six pack and your wife beater shirts, goin' around talkin' big and acting cocky... This guy could kick your ass and do it with a polite smile.
I met Mickey Rourke.He had plenty of time for me and was quite the gentleman. He is the true meaning of A GENTLE GIANT. RumbleFish,AngelHeart and BarFly need I say more!
I've been a Mickey Rourke fan since I saw him in "Diner" in 1982. He had some greats like "Rumble Fish", The Pope Of Greenwich Village", "Angel Heart". This guy is an incredible actor today. I can relate about his dog passing away. I've never been down and out but I know enough that when humans give up on you dogs won't. I lost a fur son a couple of months ago and I still miss him. He was a miniature Poodle named "Soochie". He was actually my best friend's dog but he was metaphorically mine as well. My best friend, a woman, was mommy, her fiance was stepdad and I was his dad with visitation rights.
Hahah this is the best acceptance speech ever! If anyone is worried about this guy Eric Roberts getting work he's got about 20 titles coming out on IMDB right now. Mickey rules, no bs, pure heart.
Wow, first time seeing this. Talk about true to heart, funny, charismatic and real all at the same time. Love that he never changed who he is for anyone except himself maybe; can't imagine how hard that must've been in Hollywood.
He's a good, truly humbled man. But still Irish. That aint mad. That's special. Ray Bradury said the Irsih are unknowingly the most intellectually interesting humans on the planet.. He said, along with the Mexicans, they;re the toughest. They do not back down
It's so much easier to accept somebody for who they are, when they aren't hiding behind layers of political correctness, PR facades and excuses. Mickey is not afraid to call a spade a spade. Kudos for being one of the few real people left in the industry, many of us truly appreciate it, even if it stings sometimes.
A personality like that is so rare. He has no off switch and truly speaks his mind. He's blunt without being obnoxious. He's crude, but can tell he's a sweet guy at heart. He's awesome, so glad he's back.
One of the most down to earth and realest /non Hollywood conformist actors. I'm so glad dude gave him a shot to be in wrestler that role was meant for him he did amazing .
I remembered Roruke's words about Aronofsky after watching the Black Swan and reading what Natalie Portman had to do to go through to act in that movie, which turned out to be a great one.
Him and Eric Roberts in the pope of Greenwich Village were great there was a reality to that movie especially on location in New York City. But in real life Mickey just says it the way it is .you got to love it
This is going to come out wrong but...........I respect this guy because he is the most...Dude, male actor in the world. Literally, he is a mans man of male actors.
All Hail to Mickey Rourke - the REAL thing, on and off the screen. Whenever I want to lift my spirits I watch this clip. Notice the picture of his little dog, Loki, around his neck - she had recently died after being with him for 18 years.
I laught real hard LOL, and also cried when Mickey mentioned his dog. This is why its its bringing out my tears: a man supposed to live like a leader in his life, but sometimes life is so hard and no one is around you.. wife left, friends left, success and home failed apart.. and all you have is your dogs.... who believe in you, love you in whatever situation you are in.. youre a still leader and lovely creature to them. Glad to see Mickey shine again... GOD loves you like Mickey. Never give up. Be blessed.
I've been depressed, a 40 year old single dad, bankrupt and broke to the bone, scouring youtube for some kind of inspiration, motivation or light to just give me a boost and to just crawl back n get back on my get .... and i found all that in mickey in this 6 min video .... thanks dude, god bless and stay legendary
Nice words mate !!
im reading this 4 years later and hoping all your wishes have come true for you and your child/ren.
How are things my man??
DZUL ALI Hey, are you ok man?
How are you now?
I'm like 80% sure he didn't win the Oscar because they were afraid of his speech.
Agreed......
His behaviour and what he comes out of his mouth cost him the oscar
LMAO I never even thought of that. I STILL to this day think he should have won. I liked Sean Penn in Milk but Mickey's performance just really gave me the feels.
lul... The Oscars are the day after these awards so they were already voted, but they spent a good amount of time celebrating Rourke's performance.
Shit. That's a great point.
What is there to say, except: There is only one Mickey Rourke! He´s one of the kind. Wish there were more actors like him in Hollywood. Amazing speech, filled with humor, honesty and gratitude. And... his little dog... had passed away... Oh, there is no man more good-hearted than a man who loves his dog!
I love that he gives props to Eric Roberts. Anyone who saw Eric's earlier work knows that as an actor he is head and shoulders above his one-note sister. Mad love for this guy.
He should have won the Oscar!
Right on he is the man and Sean Penn said so too at 2009 Academy Awards
Sure!🥊🤛❤️
indeed
Mr. Rourke's story of redemption, resilience and second chances is truly inspiring.
And thank you Darren Aronofsky for sticking your neck out and giving this man another chance. You knew he had talent and he brought it. Now he is back on the map. Good job Darren.
What a brill person, loved that speech, I love the way he always mentions his dogs, such a lovely guy, sexy smile, glad he is back
Love the guy. Especially his "no filter" I don't give a shit attitude.
Mickey the last American Hero.
Heartwarming, funny, honest, & legendary.
I never get tired of watching this.
He is so real it is f-ing refreshing. Always loved him. He can do no wrong xxx
i can honestly say this: This man is a HERO. What a wonderfully honest, kind, down-to-earth human being!
He didn't have notes, a script, shitty jokes or planned puns. He got up and he spoke his mind. Not enough people do that nowadays and I think it causes more problems than it stops.
Just shut up.he is the real deal
@@dimitris90schild92 well that makes no sense dimitiris
GET HOME OFF! --
Even Eric Roberts was trying to shut this mouthy asshole off. He should've been watching out for his own career. ... and concentrate on remembering peoples' names.
Eric Roberts: "ACCEPT YOUR AWARD!!! " LOLOL
God Bless you, Mickey!
Mickey is funny, talented, serious, touching anyones soul type of guy... the dog part got me. Thanks God for Mickey Rourke.
That is the best acceptance speech hands down. lol.
"If they don't got the balls to bring it, then fuck 'em."
This man is a real badass. Not an ounce of put-on masculinity. He just IS masculine, and he IS cool and he IS tough. You goofy guys out there with your six pack and your wife beater shirts, goin' around talkin' big and acting cocky... This guy could kick your ass and do it with a polite smile.
Sounds like you got a man crush John lol
I like Spirits Award speech as he specifically remembered Loki.
I like Golden globe award speech as he thanked Axl Rose and Bruce Springsteen.
Camera pans to Anne Hathaway lol her look is priceless! I love Mickey Rourke dude is an f'n legend!
She was blushing and amused because it turned her on.
Pure talent and honesty! Love you Mickey!!!!
You're 100% right
Mickey Route you're all heart bro
Love you Mr Rourke! Say it like it always...now and forever! No wonder Hollywood couldn't handle you! Go you good thing!

Mickey Rourke is the man Best thing that ever walked the face of the Earth
Shame he didn't win the Oscar, I would love to see what his Oscar acceptance speech would be like 😂
I've been a Mickey Rourke fan since I saw him in "Diner" in 1982. He had some greats like "Rumble Fish", The Pope Of Greenwich Village", "Angel Heart". This guy is an incredible actor today.

That was the most funniest, raw, true and down to earth speeches I ever heard. Well done Mickey.
Hahah this is the best acceptance speech ever! If anyone is worried about this guy Eric Roberts getting work he's got about 20 titles coming out on IMDB right now.
Mickey rules, no bs, pure heart.
This is by far the best speech EVER!!!
Wow, first time seeing this. Talk about true to heart, funny, charismatic and real all at the same time. Love that he never changed who he is for anyone except himself maybe; can't imagine how hard that must've been in Hollywood.
He's one honest guy.What a great actor.
I'm watching this on repeat. You're the best Mickey !
He's a good, truly humbled man. But still Irish. That aint mad. That's special. Ray Bradury said the Irsih are unknowingly the most intellectually interesting humans on the planet.. He said, along with the Mexicans, they;re the toughest. They do not back down
Mickey is right-- Eric is an amazing actor!
He should host the Oscars,god bless him.
They would be bleeping every other word. 😆

"I asked for two pillows", I bet he did, sly dog. ;)
Absolutely freakin' awesome acceptance speech!
It was the Dog Loki I was just waiting for the tears, he has that character there's a lot more to him. Mickey Rourke
I remembered Roruke's words about Aronofsky after watching the Black Swan and reading what Natalie Portman had to do to go through to act in that movie, which turned out to be a great one.
Mickey Rourke is a fantastic guy! I wish I could meet him.
“The Pope of Greenwich Village” was the best movie ever bar none. Mickey, and Eric are the greatest actors!
Love that film. I'd like to those two make another great movie like Pope..
Him and Eric Roberts in the pope of Greenwich Village were great there was a reality to that movie especially on location in New York City. But in real life Mickey just says it the way it is .you got to love it
Frankie deals, The Pope of Greenwich Village is one of my all time favorite films!!!
