I know, I know: Age, the ravisher of beauty, but there's much more going on here me thinks. I know he drinks a lot, and I know he smokes. And I know that smoking accelerates the skins aging process and overall appearance by constricting and depriving vessels feeding the skin from valuable oxygen.

But the acceleration and absolute depletion of any semblance of beauty on Mickey is gone. I mean, he used to be a handsome man. The skin has changed... everything. We can expect weight gain and softening of tissue, etc...


It reminds me a bit of David Lee Roth's transformation, but more severe me thinks. We can't chalk it all up to age though--Prince is 50-ish, and he looks about 10 or 15 years younger than his age. Obviously lifestyle is vitally important.

One can't chalk up the maintenance of psychical beauty to cosmetic surgery either. It looks like Mickey has had some work...to no avail.

2 words..... plastic surgery

I don't think it's aging...I think it's because of horrible, horrible plastic surgery gone awry. And tons of drugs.

But hell, yeah, he was hot in the '80s. Unbelievably good looking.

However, he's more successful that ever.

Something went right.

Yeah, he got his face all chopped and screwed with surgery....po' thang...

Boxing and bad plastic surgery

He was sooooo sexy.

Good Lord ...

when he was boxing, he had some serious injuries to his face, jaw and neck. So yes, there was surgery, and then plastic surgery. Why he took up boxing ....such a good looking man before...

true, Mickey Rourke Knows His Face Is a Mess

Very sad when people who look perfectly fine commence to getting hacked, pinned and stuffed to Bizarro World.

Another recent case that hurts is former ANTM winner Yoanna House.

I approve the new tits, but I approved them before as well.

Those I can deal with before or after, I guess. It's above the neck that I don't understand. She went from cute to some post-mortem Anne Coulter configuration.

Mars23 said:

I agree with the new tits, but I don't see what's changed in the face.
It looks like the same face minus the shake-and-bake tan.

TheVoid said:

She admits to the breasts, but there's debate over her face. Some folk say her cheeks look more pronounced. I'm undecided there, but her eyes look huge to me now.

Lammastide said:

The girls here in Thailand wear contacts that make your iris look larger. Coupled with fake eyelashes it makes the eyes look substantial larger.

Perhaps she's doing something similar. Other than that the face looks the same, despite the scary tan.

His face was sort of messed up after his time as a boxer, and he tried to get it fixed. I think he looks horrible now. He looks like every other Rupert Everett asshole trying to do something that they think no one will notice.

One of the worst cases is Jennifer Grey of course.

Yup.

I haven't seen Jennifer Grey, but I do recall reading something somewhere about her complaining that her nose surgery was the worst thing that ever happened to her career. She said something along the lines that she got more attention with the way she looked before than now.... or something like that.


As far is Mickey goes, I had no idea boxing did that to his face. I thought it was alcohol and smoking.

One thing I can tell right off the bat is that he's gotten way too much sun, and that's aged his appearance considerably. And it looks like they tried to compensate for that by a chemical skin peel that didn't go well. Either way, it's stunning to see how quickly his appearance has aged.

TheVoid said:

Boxing messed him up a bit, but the plastic surgery is what made him a freak.

Jennifer Grey had two nose surgeries I think, the 2nd to correct the first. It did ruin her career because no one recognized her for anything. She tried to make a joke of it on the show It's Like...You know, about an actress, named Jennifer Grey, who had surgery and it altered her looks to the point of no one knowing who she really was.



I think she's had some done since the original transformation. This 2007 pic looks different than when she first came out w/ a new nose in the mid 90's (her surgeries were the very early 90's, just after Dirty Dancing), below:



Rupert is a monster:

Rupurt doesn't look bad. He just doesn't look better . He looked better older and rugged looking.

I wish Hollywood would help Americans (and the rest of the world) break free from it's fixation on youth.

TheVoid said:

I've never found Rupert attractive.

I was SO in lust with Mickey Rourke when I was a teen

Lammastide said:

Forget plastic surgery. THAT^ is like a Doctor Who-like regeneration process!

I've been watching Heidi Fleiss on Celebrity Rehab/Sober House, and her upper lip is ridiculously immobile. Before:

And then there's the train wreck called Lisa Rinna:
