Mickey Rourke had a glass of Hater-aide!
Although Mickey Rourke apparently nailed his role in ‘The Wrestler’, he must be a little worried about Sean Penn’s performance in ‘Milk’. Both men have been receiving some possible ‘Oscar Buzz’ for their roles in their latest films. ‘The Daily Beast’ is reporting that:
After his December 23 appearance on David Letterman, Rourke told someone backstage that he was surprised that so many people seemed to think that Penn was his Oscar competition since “I’m not even sure he’ll get a nomination.”
On December 28, a Los Angeles entertainment honcho shared a text message with me that Rourke had sent him: “Look seans an old friend of mine and i didnt buy his performance at all—thought he did an average pretend acting like he was gay besides hes one of the most homophobic people i kno”
So, what Mickey is saying is that even though Sean Penn hates gay people, he decided to play an openly gay political figure? Am I the only one thinks that that makes no sense? Or is Mickey trying to let us know just how talented Sean is that he can tackle anything no matter what his personal feelings are? I don’t know about this one. But I do detect a little haterism on Mickey’s part. Worry about yourself and you should be okay.
Rourke’s publicist says “there is no Oscar feud between Mickey and Sean. They have known each other and been friends for a very long time. Mickey attended the New York premiere of Milk to support Sean and only has the greatest respect for him.” She adds that Rourke is ”completely unaware of the text.”
I love it! Even if it came from your phone, you can deny a text message! No positive proof! His assistant picked up his phone and decided to send out messages hating on Sean Penn. Gotta love Hollywood.
