Mickey Rourke seems to have some hot Hollywood shots to share these days. The actor, who rarely goes around the bush, recently made headlines share some not-so-nice thoughts about Tom Cruise . When asked about the actor’s recent success with Top Gun: MaverickRourke said it “meant nothing” to him and accused Cruise of playing “the same fucking role for 35 years”. Now, it seems he too has thoughts about the ongoing legal battle between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, and he didn’t hold back on that discussion either.
The 69-year-old actor shared his feelings about Tom Cruise, as well as his two cents about Amber Heard and Johnny Depp during an appearance on moli morgan uncensored . While discussing the ex-couple’s heated libel case, Mickey Rourke has shown empathy for Depp, whom he knows. This apparent support appears to stem from an earlier career setback that Rourke underwent years ago:
[I’ve known] Johnny for many years, but I don’t know him very intimately. All I can say is that I was once in a situation where I was accused of something I hadn’t done. He cost me film jobs for several years and gave me a bad reputation. Eventually the truth came out, but the truth came out after I lost movies and jobs, so I felt bad for someone trying to get caught by a gold digger.
The situation the Oscar-nominated actor can refer to is an incident in 1994, when he was arrested on charges of domestic abuse. Eventually the charges against him were dropped. after prosecutors failed to get his then wife, model Carré Otis, to testify in court. It was during this decade that the actor experienced a period of professional drought.
Although Mickey Rourke and Johnny Depp apparently don’t know each other “intimately”, they’ve known each other for some time. The two worked together on a 2003 Robert Rodriguez action film. Once upon a time in Mexico. This is not the first time that Rourke has spoken Depp’s professional and / or personal relationship with Amber Heard . i am talking with TMZ about it in 2016 and questioned the idea that Depp had committed the abuses Heard had accused him of. Rourke was a diplomat at the time when it came to Heard’s character but, in this latest interview, he gave an energetic answer when asked if he thought she really was a gold digger:
Absolutely damn. Absolutely.
After the six-week libel trial, the jury issued a verdict which awarded Johnny Depp $ 10 million in compensation and $ 5 million in punitive damages. Amber Heard also received $ 2 million in her counterclaim and, as things stand, she has to pay her ex-husband $ 8.3 million (due to the reduction in punitive charges). Heard’s legal team claimed they couldn’t pay him the millions of dollars. Although shortly after this statement, Heard was seen using a private plane .
The aquatic man the actress is currently trying to overturn the verdict due to an alleged problem with the jury 15 who she and her team believe is not the person who was summoned. Johnny Depp’s legal team responded , stating that the star no longer has the right to question the jury’s accuracy. There is sure to be more to come regarding this situation, and in the meantime, I wouldn’t be surprised if Mickey Rourke turned more honest thoughts to them, Tom Cruise and other Hollywood characters.
