Mickey Rourke Did Steroids for ‘The Wrestler’
Tags: mickey rourke, steroids, the wrestler
Golden Globe winner Mickey Rourke recently admitted he did steroids to prepare for his role in the new movie “The Wrestler.” No explanation as to his face, but I’m guessing he’s the victim of a chemical fire in his next movie. According to Starpulse
Rourke worked out twice a day with an Israeli cage fighter and gorged on seven meals a day to bulk up for the part [of heavyweight retired grappler Randy 'The Ram' Robinson]. But… he suggests he had a little extra help to speed up the process by indulging in a drug synonymous with the world of pro wrestling.
When asked if he took steroids, the star replies, “When I’m a wrestler, I behave like a wrestler.”
Which is exactly why I tell people I’m playing the role of an alcoholic single mother with a glandular issue and gonorrhea. I’m not a fat drunken slut; I’m a thespian!

he he he he… Your head can’t grow, because of steroid use. I guess, that you are confusing, anabolic steroids, with “H.G.H. Human Growth hormone, which may cause “acromegaly”.

your a dumbass, your all dumbasses the big head is caused by tsking them but usually from orals, and it goes away once you stop plus he has always had a big head, anadrol doesnt make u shrink right down again, if you run a good pct like im sure he did cuz hes not a dumb ass like all of you , then he wouldnt of shrunk back down.

he admitted live on t.v. here in the u.k. on the “johnathon ross show” (friday nights) ross is a chat show host and movie critic on the b.b.c. …..
when he (rourke) explained, ross tried to lighten it by exclaiming”(cough)you mean (cough) “protein shakes” dont you?” rourke’s reply was something akin to ” no man… none of that crap… i took steroids and dont care what people think!!!” it was several months ago but it stuck in my mind that he is the ONLY hollywood type that i’ve ever heard NOT try to deny it or beat around the bush…. and good luck to him too… it’s his choice and he isn’t going for any olympic medals… so why should anyone care if his body was the result of chemical help… its more honest than c.g.i. !!!!!!!!!!
