LA BREA, California - Actor Mickey Rourke who won the 2009 Golden Globe Award for his portrayal of a wrestler in the movie The Wrestler recently asked an employee at a Jack-in-The-Box drive-thru in Pomona if he knew who he was.
The employee looked at him and said that he was Nick Nolte. "No." Rourke answered. The employee then said, Glen Campbell?...Gary Busey?...Regis Philbin?
Rourke paid for his meal and drove off. He then drove to a Panda Express drive-thru in West Covina and asked the employee is she knew who he was. She looked at him and said, "Yeah, you're that Dick Cheney dude.
Rourke paid for his lemon chicken meal and drove off. He drove to an El Monte Starbucks drive thru. And like he had done in Pomona and West Covina he asked the drive-thru employee if he knew who he was. The employee took a look at him and said "I sure do. You're Mickey Rourke and I saw you a few months ago in The Wrestler."
Bingo! Mickey was thrilled beyond belief that someone had finally recognized him. He asked the drive-thru employee if he would like to have his autograph.
The employee told him no thanks and added that he had hated the movie. He said that his girlfriend had broken up with him on the way home from the movie.
Rourke told him that he was sorry about that and asked if he had liked his acting. "No, not really." The employee replied. He then said that to be honest with him a placenta could have done a better job of acting.
Mickey Rourke recently asked his manager, "Hey where the hell did I go?" His manager immediatley checked him into The Betty Ford Rehab Clinic For The Low Self-Esteemed.
