Mickey Rourke is number one!
At least, that’s probably what The Wrestler director Darren Aronofsky was trying to convey during Rourke’s acceptance speech at last night’s Golden Globe Awards.
Rourke, 52, who won the Best Actor, Motion Picture Drama award for his big-screen comeback bid The Wrestler, heaped salty praise on the 39-year-old lensman while accepting his award, characterizing Aronofsky as “one tough son-of-a-b*tch.”
At which point the director flashed half a backward peace sign at his actor. Or something. Check out the video below:
Luckily, Rourke took the gesture in good-natured stride. After all, it’s far from the first time that a guy has rudely wagged an appendage in his direction.
that director has no class and he isn’t ready for the BIG LEAGUES. he displayed that by waving his finger. never in the history of AWARD SHOWS HAS THAT BEEN DONE. he should never be invited again. PIG OINK OINK OINK.
Awesome, heartfelt acceptance speech. SO NOT the usual, bla bla bla you usually hear. Mickey’s back, and that director is on his way to even bigger things!!
