Mickey Rourke, the renowned former professional boxer and film star, is currently facing the threat of eviction from his Los Angeles residence. This situation arose after he allegedly fell behind on rent payments, accumulating a debt of $59,100. To address this urgent issue, a friend and member of his management team has organized a public fundraiser, which has received Rourke's explicit consent.
The GoFundMe campaign, launched on Sunday, has a goal of $100,000 and has already garnered over $8,300. The funds are intended to cover immediate housing-related expenses, providing Rourke with the stability needed to recover. The organizer emphasized Rourke's deserving nature, stating that fame does not shield individuals from hardship and that he deserves dignity and a secure home.
Legal documents reveal that Rourke began leasing the property in March 2025 at a monthly rent of $5,200, which was later increased to $7,000. His landlord filed a complaint on December 29, seeking not only the unpaid rent but also attorney fees and the forfeiture of Rourke's rental agreement. The fundraiser aims to offer Rourke peace of mind so he can focus on getting back on his feet.
