Mickey Rourke – 68
Mickey Rourke frequently plays some intense and in-your-face type of characters in today’s movies, and those roles perfectly fit his outward persona. Those who have seen just this version of Mickey won’t believe that this tough guy used to be a real heartthrob in the eighties.
A professional boxer in his youth, Mickey’s wounds forced him to go through reconstructive surgery, which considerably changed his appearance. Mickey made the best of the situation, though, and changed the type of roles he took up in movies. With the adjustments he has had to make, Mickey is an excellent example of resilience and adaptability for all of us.
