Mickey Rourke Rejects $100K GoFundMe Amid Eviction

Mickey Rourke is reportedly facing severe financial difficulties, leading to his eviction from a Los Angeles home due to nearly $60,000 in back rent as of late 2025. A GoFundMe campaign, initiated by an assistant to his manager, aimed to raise $100,000 to prevent his eviction. However, Rourke publicly denounced the fundraising effort, calling it a 'cruel embarrassment' and stating he would 'get even' with those responsible.

This situation follows public concern after Rourke was seen looking worn and haggard on New Year's Day. In contrast, recent photos show a seemingly rejuvenated Rourke at a dinner with friends. His manager, Kimberly Hines, clarified that Rourke may not have fully understood the GoFundMe details, which has since been halted, with refunds to donors planned.

Despite ongoing financial troubles and eviction battles, Rourke is reportedly selective about job offers, seeking A-list pay of around $200,000 per day and aiming to work with top-tier actors and directors. He is currently staying in a West Hollywood hotel and has a new apartment lined up. Rourke’s career had a notable resurgence with his 2008 role in 'The Wrestler,' earning him an Oscar nomination.
