Hollywood bad boy Mickey Rourke is begging fans for help. The actor has found himself in a major financial predicament and hopes his fans will see it in their hearts to help him out. Mickey Rourke needs cash to keep a roof over his head. The Wrestler star is facing homelessness. Recent reports reveal that Mickey is facing eviction from his Los Angeles home.
After falling behind on his rent, Rourke’s friend set up a GoFundMe page with a target of $100,000, all with the actor’s full blessing. The campaign describes the situation as urgent. It details that Rourke’s overdue rent has reached nearly $60,000, and the actor could be forced out of his historic Los Angeles residence.
Money Troubles
The page, titled “Help Mickey Rourke Stay in His Home,” reads: “Today, Mickey is facing a very real and urgent situation: the threat of eviction from his home.
“This fundraiser is being created with Mickey’s full permission to help cover immediate housing-related expenses and prevent that from happening. Mickey Rourke is an icon – but his trajectory, as painful as it is, is also a deeply human one.”
Per Radar Online, Mickey’s home is a three-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home in Beverly Grove, which sits in the middle of Los Angeles’ history. Rourke began renting the home in March at $5,200 per month. However, he faced a rent hike to $7,000 starting in his second month. Court documents reveal that on December 18, he was served a three-day notice demanding payment or eviction.
Mickey Rourke’s friends and fans have seemingly responded quickly. However, his pals say this is a dire situation. According to GoFundMe, the goal is not just financial relief. But a chance for Rourke to regain stability and peace of mind in what is already becoming a stressful year.
Mickey Rourke Faced a Career Full of Highs and Lows
His current struggles are far from his first brush with public controversy. Over the past year, he endured a dramatic exit from the reality show “Celebrity Big Brother,” where he was removed for inappropriate behavior toward fellow housemate JoJo Siwa.
Yet even amid chaos, he continues to pursue his career aspirations. This includes rumored plans to land roles in upcoming films about Johnny Cash and Ozzy Osbourne. Roles he hopes will reignite Hollywood interest.
Liya-Joelle Jones, who manages the GoFundMe, says it’s been moving to see how many people care and want to help. The fundraiser emphasizes that despite fame and talent, Rourke is human and deserves dignity—a new chance to regain his footing.
Mickey Rourke now faces an urgent fight to stay in his historic L.A. home. There’s hope the actor can get back on track. But for now, the eviction drama is very real, very public, and impossible to ignore.
