The iconic action star from the 80’s, now 72 years old, was the last to commit to the much-awaited reality TV series. This series is scheduled to premiere on April 7 and will run for approximately two weeks until it ends on April 25.

It’s now known that Mickey will receive an impressive seven-figure salary for appearing on the ITV show together with other popular figures like JoJo Siwa, Chesney Hawkes, and Patsy Palmer.

As reported by The Sun, it’s expected that Mickey, with an approximate wealth of £3.8 million ($5 million), is set to earn a massive £1 million during his brief stint on the program.

He is also widely praised as having the most remarkable celebrity name within this franchise, which ITV brought back in 2023.

A source shared with the outlet that finding a guest for Big Brother as prominent as Mickey Rourke has been challenging ever since the series started.

In the previous season, Sharon Osbourne made quite an impact, but this time around, Mickey, who is a true icon, brings a tremendous amount of influence. The stories he’s going to share are bound to become legendary.

Mickey is known for his bold opinions and isn’t shy about expressing them. It’s speculated that he earns a substantial amount, potentially in the millions, much like Sharon who allegedly received £100,000 per day.

I can hardly contain my excitement! It looks like Mickey is set to join the ranks of Chris Hughes from Love Island, legendary Olympian Daley Thompson, Jack P Shepherd from Coronation Street, esteemed politician Sir Michael Fabricant, and RuPaul’s Drag Race UK winner Danny Beard on Big Brother. I can hardly wait to witness the magic unfold!

TopMob has contacted ITV and Mickey’s representatives for comment. 

1986 marked the zenith of Mickey’s acting journey in Hollywood, as he secured the principal male part in the sensual drama “9 1/2 Weeks,” alongside Kim Basinger.

In the 1980s, Mickey gained widespread recognition and became highly demanded in Hollywood, taking on significant roles in films like Rumble Fish, Angel Heart, Francesco, and Johnny Handsome.

Mickey’s career took off in the 1980s, earning him much acclaim and leading to numerous prominent roles in movies such as Rumble Fish, Angel Heart, Francesco, and Johnny Handsome.

However, his prominence waned due to his fluctuating involvement in filmmaking and boxing, leading him to decline key roles in Rain Man, Platoon, and The Untouchables.

1991 found me, at 38 years old, stepping into the ring as a professional boxer, competing as a light heavyweight. After an unbeaten run, I hung up my gloves in 1995, a year that would forever be etched in my memory as the end of my undefeated career.

Mickey, who was married previously to models Carré Otis and actress Debra Feuer, sustained severe facial injuries and went through multiple surgical procedures for treatment.

He admitted to the Mail that, mainly to fix the damage from boxing on his face, I sought help, unfortunately, from an unsuitable professional for facial reconstruction.

At some stage, the icon faced a ban in Hollywood due to challenging working relationships, yet he expresses gratitude towards emerging directors for aiding in reviving his acting career.

He mentioned to Fox News that the younger individuals have a hip vibe to them. They seem unconcerned with gossip or rumors. Instead of basing their judgments on his past, they evaluate him based on his acting skills, he said.

I find acting intriguing yet challenging, as it offers me an outlet for expression while testing my limits. At present, I take pleasure in immersing myself fully into my roles because I feel empowered by the skills I acquire. My self-assurance grows with each performance.

2005 was the year I landed my dream role in Sin City – and oh boy, was it a thrill! I got to step back into those shoes again for the 2014 sequel, sharing the screen with none other than the fantastic Jessica Alba. It’s moments like these that keep me buzzing as a fan!

2008 saw him playing the lead role in “The Wrestler,” a film that portrayed an aging wrestler trying to adapt to life beyond the ring following a downturn in his career. This narrative bore a remarkable resemblance to Mickey’s personal journey.

Although he didn’t win the Oscar for the part, he admitted that he expected not to get the award due to his past reputation in Hollywood. He openly acknowledged that he had damaged relationships and burned bridges in the industry.

He admitted that he foolishly expressed the opinion that acting wasn’t a genuine profession for men. He also disclosed his tendency to intimidate production teams, vent frustration towards directors, and even forget his own agent’s name.

Mickey, who once stood shoulder-to-shoulder with acting greats like Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, has openly talked about reaching the depths of despair before his professional comeback.

In 2012, he shared with The Standard that he wasn’t just a tad mischievous, but rather, for approximately 15 to 16 years, he was truly appalling. He described himself as being beyond self-control and losing his senses during this period.

After losing my home, my spouse, my wealth, my job, and virtually everything else I had, I hit rock bottom. Eventually, someone suggested that I should speak with someone about it. At first, I hesitated, but since I had nothing left, I decided to give it a try.

He admitted feeling remorseful for having to sink so low and abandon everything in order to transform, yet expressed that he’s now an entirely different person following seven years of therapy, during which he accumulated a debt of approximately £45,000 (around $60,000).

At the peak of his popularity, he would suddenly purchase six Cadillacs all at once, paying in cold hard cash. It was a secret that few realized just how financially strapped he actually was during this period.

In 2009, he shared with the Daily Mail that not many people were aware of my financial struggles. I was spending $500 monthly on a small, one-room apartment that had a yard where my pets could play.

A good friend would occasionally provide me with around two hundred dollars each month for food expenses. On occasion, I’d find myself phoning my former spouse, emotionally distraught.

Mickey confessed that he carelessly abandoned his acting career due to feelings of unworthiness, yet he re-emerged in the spotlight during the 2000s.

He’s been involved with notable movies such as Man on Fire, Iron Man 2, and The Expendables, aiming to stage a significant return to the limelight in Hollywood.

In the past few years, Mickey has been cast in lesser but action-packed and suspenseful film parts, while also stepping into producing roles for movies like ‘The Commando’ (2022), ‘Take Back’ (2021) and ‘Nightmare Cinema’ (2018).

However, it’s well-known that Mickey isn’t hesitant to express his straightforward views about the entertainment industry throughout the years. In 2022, he even criticized the “unnecessary” top action actor, Tom Cruise.

During his interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored, he expressed his disapproval towards the Top Gun star by stating: “For over three decades, he’s just been repeating the same role. I don’t hold him in high regard.
