He’s right too. I lost my dog of 15 years a few months ago and the loneliness you feel after they’re gone is agonizingly painful. Trying to get through each day now 😔
He had one Chihuahua that was almost 20 years old..... Dog traveled everywhere with him. I remember an interview one time he showed his dog's passport and the whole thing was full of stamps from different countries.
Funny how people kind of laughed at Rourke for thanking his dogs, then they realized how serious and sentimental he was, and everyone got so serious. Rourke's the man!
Amazing that he thanked his dogs, and the audience should have caught on to the fact that he is a genuine guy who is genuinely thankful to his four legged friends.... well done that man for being MAN enough to stand up for what he truly believed in, his best friends...
this speech is nothing... watch his "spirit award" speech... it's awseome and his dog loki died 6 days before and he even mentions it with a lump in his throat.... your welcome :)
@@vincentdc211 Yeah... in your dreams.... He made a lot of enemies in the Hollywood industry when he a young and a promising actor who was gonna make a lot of money for them. And then he didn t and went all crazy. Do you really think that they were going to forgive him? then you are beeig very naive about the movie business.
Yousuf Hasnain - I did get choked up. Because he's so right & I was at that point where all I had was my dog. Thanks for that Yousuf. I thought I was the only one that teared up when he said that.
Mickey is the real deal man !! In a world of fake people, especially in the acting world. It's so fucking refreshing to see a guy like Mickey Rourke who's genuine through and through.
Mickey Rourke is magic on screen and he has true acting talent which gives him the ability to give totally honest performances that touch the heart and soul.
Met him briefly in Hollywood, CA. The most humble best human being I ever met ! May God bless him and may people remember him for being a true great actor and a genuine, kind person at all times.
That had to be the most 'real' acceptance speech I've seen in years. Not just, "Oh, I'm so happy to be here. I'm going to drop some names and get off the stage." Really good stuff. Mickey Rourke is a legitimate human being, and I applaud that.
Mickey Rourke the Legend. I was especially touched by his mention of his dogs, living and passed. Our pets are sometimes our greatest family and our most loyal friends.
Absolutely agree the scene with his daughter were he says he was wrong and is now a lonely washed up old man is the finest piece of acting since i first saw shawshank redemption at the end with Morgan Freeman reading the letter under the rock! And i agree he seems very similar in real life to the part he played in wrestler!! Fine fine actor who stood his ground over Hollywood snobs that cost him many years of no work and loneliness! Hope to see him in future films!!
It does not matter if he plays the roles of a scary monster or an old wrestler .The dimension of his talent is much bigger that nay description and any summary of what he can or can not do .Never in my life I have seen a Hollywood actor show the human misery so fully and so intensely as Mickey did .He is a great human being for all he has been thru and the dignity he has !!! I LOVE YOU MICKEY and love your love for the animals as well !!!!! All the good energy bless you always !!!
The guy's so great in the movie you forget he is a fucking actor. It is really beautiful what he says about his dogs. I love the way he makes the speech, like talking to friends in a bar, not like other self important actors
When I first watched this years ago I heard almost nothing that Mickey said, but when he said he thanked all his dogs and the audience laughed, I knew he was telling the truth. Dog IS man's best friend, and I will never forget that Mickey saved them for last in his thank you speech. As it should be.
Stormie33 to some people (like a good friend of mine RIP, that deal with lonliness) dogs can be almost everything. I gotta 2. And 2 kids as well...and a cat... but the cat is from my women.
Mickey was blackballed by the Hollywood elite, the money people, the shakers and the movers. His talent is second to none. Everyone involved took a chance on him, many put their careers on the line. Interesting they needed a great song for the movie, out of money, Axel Rose of the famed band Guns and Roses GAVE them a huge hit, Sweet Child of Mine. The script was written for Mickey, the movie couldn’t have turned out any better and once again everyone wants a piece of Mickey Rourke. ( Also watch 9 1/2 Weeks )
Dog's best friend-you are the man Mickey-you are a hero to all dogs everywhere.You have saved so many little precious souls and to me that is the coolest and kindest thing you can ever say about a man.Dogs are the greatest creation that God ever made.
Dogs truly are mans best friend and mine has proven it numerous times when I felt there was no one else in this world ! I know exactly where Mickey’s coming from with this statement! 👏👏👏
This and Al Pacino as “Sonny” in “Dog day afternoon”. Biggest Oscar omissions! Mickey is the kind of actor who leaves his mark in movies even if its a 3 minutes cameo. Truly a magnificent artist!
Glad he remembered his good friend The Boss in the end there.....who donated the great title song, free of charge, to the film. Let me hear everybody say, Bruuuuuce!!!
Yes, a great moment to acknowledge our beloved animal companions.. So true what he said. Very happy for Mickey; what an amazing movie this is and everyone in it & behind it hit a major home run. Easily one of my faves.
"The Wrestler" is one hell of a movie. And Mickey's performance is just flawless. It's a shame that after this he went back to do horrible pictures. I hope there's another great role waiting for him.
looks like he's really someone who's getting back to the top,not only as a celebrity,but most important,as a person. my late congratulations to Mickey Rourke. awesome movie,awesome performance.
Mickey Route has it all and then some. He is the whole package and the best looking and actor. Had a tough life but came back and made the best of it and that takes guts. Would love to see him in more movies. Bless you More Cheyenne Rourke. I don’t think he knows how brilliant he is❤️
Mickey R IS the definition of MAN! Great actor that has been unappreciated. REAL in every sense of the word. And, actually your pets will ALWAYS be there for you & here is a person who realizes that. Thank you,M.R.
Man, for a guy who said at the start he's not a great public speaker, he sure stayed calm & cool and appeared to thank a lot of vital people eloquently & sincerely. What an awesome film this is. Thanx 2 everyone who worked on it. Love ya, Mickey ~
True man not just an actor! Sometimes u just gotta do it your way & Sometimes it knocks you on your ass. Well done with the humility you've earned it my friend
Mickey has in my personal opinion has been such an underrated actor I mean if you really watch his work he’s one of the few actors that when you watch him in film your not looking at it thinking of other films he’s been in, he truly immerses himself in that character and that’s all you see. His scene in the expendable talking about the woman is again an opinion but he told that story so well in that scene you truly felt every word and emotion it really was such incredible acting on his part
His monologue in Expendables I'd great as well fir it being a heavy action movie. If you get a chance watch it, it's almost like he lived it it was so sincere.
He was great in that movie; he was great in every movie from eureka, to diner to the fighter and everything in between. People wrote him off, he kept at it.
WOW he was sharing place in a category with sean penn for the movie milk and he won!!!! priceless i feel very happy for you mickey send you my good vibes god bless you!! grettings from cucuta-colombia
I’ve always had a crush on MR back in the 80s he was fine. Even though his looks have faded I still have a crush on him, but this time it’s because of his sweet-delicate soul and humbleness. It’s his inner looks that I love. You are a gem MR and don’t ever forget that.
Damn. I've watched this movie at least 50 times. I never thought about it until Rourke mentions it here. Axl Rose gave the movie rights to Sweet Child O' Mine. The Wrestler theme music was written and performed by Slash. That was ten years before they reunited.
Awesome actor, and a lovely human.Wish him all the luck and may he win many many more Oscars .Cant believe he beat top actors and got the award.👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤
I loved that he thanked his dogs. He's so right that when he said that when a man's alone, sometimes all he's got is his dogs.
Very true.
o yeah. a dog is the best friend you will ever have.
Dogs are a man best friend. Rourke is on point.
He’s right too. I lost my dog of 15 years a few months ago and the loneliness you feel after they’re gone is agonizingly painful. Trying to get through each day now 😔
He had one Chihuahua that was almost 20 years old..... Dog traveled everywhere with him. I remember an interview one time he showed his dog's passport and the whole thing was full of stamps from different countries.
This is probably the most sincere, down to earth speech I have heard...
Julio Waa then you haven’t heard this speech he gave.
ruclips.net/video/mwwHBhdnSZU/видео.html
I agree
yeah , besides he understand , he was just a human being pretendig was another.
He even Thanked his dogs,,,what a loving soul he has. 🥰

Funny how people kind of laughed at Rourke for thanking his dogs, then they realized how serious and sentimental he was, and everyone got so serious. Rourke's the man!
I'm just gonna pretend this is his Oscar
supermariofan03 me too
Same he deserved it. Hell he deserved it for Angel Heart not even nominated
mario is luigi you had data brownie...
Hell yea he deserved that oscar
Me too! I searched that myself.
Amazing that he thanked his dogs, and the audience should have caught on to the fact that he is a genuine guy who is genuinely thankful to his four legged friends.... well done that man for being MAN enough to stand up for what he truly believed in, his best friends...
this speech is nothing... watch his "spirit award" speech... it's awseome and his dog loki died 6 days before and he even mentions it with a lump in his throat.... your welcome :)
Yeah I thought that was cool as well ☺
That is called "alpha" male, I guess. He's not scared of his weakness/eses... ...but the society might blowback on you, being soft.......... Hard.
They got it. I think they were genuinely touched
Right, response was way too lame!
My man! The most underrated and misunderstood actor ever.
+不戴套 a fucking legend.
Nobody can match his performances in the 80s and even early 1990s
Yeap
@@radi2986 I completely agree with you
Mickey is the Realest person in Hollywood...with a big heart..and the Marlon Brando of his time.
But with the fakest face. So no expressions
@@oosthakker it's hard to see some when you're blind
@@nic-o1341 its just dumb when in hollywood where fase expressions should be the most important they all numb them down with botox and other stuff
Dont you mean Angel Heart😋
@@oosthakker he still has that twinkle in his eyes and that smile
A genuine speech so rare, much respect. Got robbed of an Oscar.
ROBBERY! He shouldve won the Oscar no doubt!
sure. but made to many enemies. It isn't called show-business for nothing. And they do not forgive
@@normadesmond6017 WTF does having or not having enemies have to do with an acting performance!? NOTHING.
@@vincentdc211 Yeah... in your dreams.... He made a lot of enemies in the Hollywood industry when he a young and a promising actor who was gonna make a lot of money for them.

Who won that year?
@Ryan Akwar Lol. Jokes on you if you think that was better.
"I would like to thank all my dogs bcoz sometimes when you are alone, all you have is a dog" if u don't tear up to that....be a robot!
Yousuf Hasnain - I did get choked up. Because he's so right & I was at that point where all I had was my dog. Thanks for that Yousuf. I thought I was the only one that teared up when he said that.
I agree but pets in general
It's true though and dogs keep you functioning cause they need you to care for them so you have to go out for walks etc. too pets are therapeutic.
At his best, Mickey Rourke is a brilliant actor.
I loved the Wrestler.
Call it dooty 4
Mickey is the real deal man !! In a world of fake people, especially in the acting world. It's so fucking refreshing to see a guy like Mickey Rourke who's genuine through and through.
Now that’s a real man ! He didn’t forget his dogs 🐕💕💜💋
Mickey Rourke is magic on screen and he has true acting talent which gives him the ability to give totally honest performances that touch the heart and soul.
He should get an Oscar, this guy is pure class, and one of the very last great actors
Met him briefly in Hollywood, CA. The most humble best human being I ever met ! May God bless him and may people remember him for being a true great actor and a genuine, kind person at all times.

Mickey Rourke the Legend. I was especially touched by his mention of his dogs, living and passed. Our pets are sometimes our greatest family and our most loyal friends.
He is the most genuine person that I have ever seen. He has such a pure and kind heart. A true blessing to the human race.
I loved the way he thanked his dogs for his comeback too. That was really sweet.
Thing is, Rourke wasn't really acting. He was mostly being himself.
Absolutely agree the scene with his daughter were he says he was wrong and is now a lonely washed up old man is the finest piece of acting since i first saw shawshank redemption at the end with Morgan Freeman reading the letter under the rock!

"Sometimes when you're alone ... all you got is a dog." HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
Dude was incredibly physical in the wrestler, especially being over 50.
Mickey went through hell and that's why he's a hell of an actor.
he was already a great actor before he went into hell. But he came out of it and show the industry that he still had it.
When I first watched this years ago I heard almost nothing that Mickey said, but when he said he thanked all his dogs and the audience laughed, I knew he was telling the truth. Dog IS man's best friend, and I will never forget that Mickey saved them for last in his thank you speech. As it should be.
Dogs are a great companion, but a dog should not be anyone's best friend.
Stormie33 to some people (like a good friend of mine RIP, that deal with lonliness) dogs can be almost everything. I gotta 2. And 2 kids as well...and a cat... but the cat is from my women.
"Should" and "why" are words for children Stormie33 . :)
I can't believe you didn't when he asked for this biggest snub in oscar history. MILK REALLY ? unbelievable. .
the wrestler was great movie.
+TheRisingwest yes it was and he deserved to win, great movie.
i give the movie a 10/10 freaking Amazing movie
Mickey was blackballed by the Hollywood elite, the money people, the shakers and the movers. His talent is second to none. Everyone involved took a chance on him, many put their careers on the line.

And cats too!
I agree my cats name is Aja and she is very sweet and beautiful
Oh fuck off .....
Word up!!
Mickey is an inspiration. Has always been, the greatest actor of our time
MICKEY, THEY (Hollywood) STOLE THE ACADEMY AWARD !
You are a great actor and you are my inspiration !
he's a legend. deserve better in film business
Dogs truly are mans best friend and mine has proven it numerous times when I felt there was no one else in this world ! I know exactly where Mickey’s coming from with this statement! 👏👏👏
This and Al Pacino as “Sonny” in “Dog day afternoon”.
Biggest Oscar omissions!
Mickey is the kind of actor who leaves his mark in movies even if its a 3 minutes cameo.
Truly a magnificent artist!
the wrestler was a great movie, you can feel that movie...if that makes any sense.
Love the fact Mickey did everything that he's done, boxing, wrestling
lifting, A-Listing -- also a great dog owner. Much love dude. Unbreakable.
Glad he remembered his good friend The Boss in the end there.....who donated the great title song, free of charge, to the film. Let me hear everybody say, Bruuuuuce!!!
Glad he thanks AXL ROSE :)
same here
Well yeah he gave them the song without gauging them for money. Super cool.
Well theyre both women beaters so...
Oscars don't mean anything. Peter o toole never won for acting, neither did tom cruise, or harrison ford. All deserving of one at one time or another.
+Throwmethewhip Tom Cruise has never and will never deserve an Oscar.
+Throwmethewhip Yeah Oscars are like the elitist film award and shouldn't really be taken too seriously.
tom cruise is a great actor you ignorant. have you ever watched magnolia?
jeb tweebance Tom Cruise is not only a bad actor but also a shitty human being.
Kellen Hunter-La Voy have you ever watched Magnolia? Was that a bad performance?
Yes, a great moment to acknowledge our beloved animal companions.. So true what he said. Very happy for Mickey; what an amazing movie this is and everyone in it & behind it hit a major home run. Easily one of my faves.
It showed he really is a great guy!
Not just a great actor )
"The Wrestler" is one hell of a movie. And Mickey's performance is just flawless. It's a shame that after this he went back to do horrible pictures. I hope there's another great role waiting for him.
nope, he made sure of that by butchering his face to the point of no return.
With that face in that condition he can play only monsters in heavy make up. He could be a good fit in DC movies or Marvel universe movies though
looks like he's really someone who's getting back to the top,not only as a celebrity,but most important,as a person. my late congratulations to Mickey Rourke. awesome movie,awesome performance.
he beat the primadonnas of di caprio and pitt. DOGS to a lonely man can be a better companion... Respect Mickey. Since rumble fish ol' times...
gUiLLOtHEwORST NIGHTMARE of course he beat them. He is way better than these two.
Mickey Route has it all and then some. He is the whole package and the best looking and actor. Had a tough life but came back and made the best of it and that takes guts. Would love to see him in more movies. Bless you More Cheyenne Rourke. I don’t think he knows how brilliant he is❤️
What a humane speech.... rarely you hear something like this in public
What a sweet and real speech. The humility of a man to also thank his dogs. That kind of gentleness is greatly needed today.

Aww Mickey I know what you mean about your dogs. There have been times when I've thought about giving up but I look at my dog and carry on.
michelle88960 me too
He should have won the Oscar as well. Brilliant Performance
True man not just an actor! Sometimes u just gotta do it your way & Sometimes it knocks you on your ass. Well done with the humility you've earned it my friend
So good to have you back. We were here waiting just didn't know how to tell you to keep the faith! Love ya!
One of the best movies ever! Mickey Rourke deserves an Oscar.
Most satisfying award to have ever watched anyone receive. Hands down.
This made me so happy. Great movie, great performance.
This is how you give an award speech, very good

now THAT is a how u accept an award! love everything about this guy, hes so genuine
Wow what a category that year!! I personally think Penn and Rourke both very much deserved their recognition and the rest is just history! 🤷🏻♀️
I agree. I remember being ok, with either of those two winning.
hes soo emotional and very down to earth.....succes is just a by product....happy for u mickey
I love that he thanked his dogs 🐾🐶😘🤗👍💪👏👏👏👏👏👏 My pets rescued me too! ❤️😍
Ho ho. My favorite actor. Love his speeches. He even thanked his dogs...even though I am a kitty.
He so should have won the Oscar, too.
His monologue in Expendables I'd great as well fir it being a heavy action movie. If you get a chance watch it, it's almost like he lived it it was so sincere.
so honest and cool. I'm glad he made a comeback.

Very humble acceptance speach.

it was really touching what he said about his pets... I really like this guy
I'm so proud of you , Mickey Rourke .
i got a little choked up when he thanked his dogs...something about that got to me
Definitely. Mickey was robbed of the oscar. He is an amazing actor. Highly underappreciated.
Just be glad he got this Golden Globe.
Wearing one's heart on sleeve comes to mind. But his transformation from an introvert to an extrovert is intriguing.
he's a good guy...humble, honest, and nice humor
Mickey !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!! LOVE YOU!!
Mickey Rourke..you'll never be out of this business.

He deserves more than this Mickey Rourke is one of the best such great person big heart kind heart and so humbel

I always liked him. He is a real talent.

30 years from now they will make a movie about Mickey Rourke.
I beleve you are so right
Excellent actor and a lovely human being.
Loved the film very much.
Im right there with him - you can tell he was a broken man...and now he's on a stage. So many words, but I'll leave it at that.
By far one of the...if not THE coolest man that lives....best to you MR LR brother.
Well Deserved...They Got it RIGHT!! He was AWESOME in the film!!!!
always loved you Mickey. Noone else like you. one of my heroes
