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!
