Friends,
Mickey Rourke, at one point in time, was considered to be the next Marlon Brando. Seriously. Yeah, Mickey Rourke. That guy who was in that shitty Charles Bukowski movie. No, the earlier one. The one with Frank Stallone. You remember now. He was also Marv in Sin City. And he boxed for a bit too.
Anyways, Mickey Rourke really hasn't lived up to the Brando comparison, unless he gets fat for an actor and buys an island. But, that's not saying that Rourke isn't capable of Brando-like achievements.
See, Brando was so well respected as an actor because he was able to give performances no one has ever seen before. Just make the characters so real, so vibrant and so compasionate at the same time. Take Vito Corelone. That is the best acting job in American film, maybe all film. Yeah, some will say Peter Lorre in M was better, but nuts to that, give me The Godfather any day of the week.
How does this apply to Mickey Rourke. Well, he up and got arrested for a DUI. And for his mugshot, he gave the world a mustache we have never seen before. Behold (courtesy of the AP)!
Have you ever seen someone make that kind of mustache decision? It's like he decided to grow the stereotypical smart Asian mustache that grows only on the edges of the lips, then grows way past the lips. You know what I'm talking about. But Rourke here, he didn't want the longness, he just wanted the gap. He's all like, "Yeah, ladies, I'm a man, but I got an awesome cupid's bow."
Anyways, that's a groundbreaking mustache for sure. Well, done. Mr. Rourke. So, we here at BOMM award you our inaugural Best Drunken Celebrity Mustache Mugshot 2007 - Florida Division! Congratulations, Mickey!
