Book ID/图书代码： 08090009B33904
English Summary/英文概要： This is the first full biography of Mickey Rourke covering his life and work up to the present day, when he is the name on everyone’s lips having won a Golden Globe and a BAFTA for Best Actor, and being short-listed for the Best Actor Oscar in February 2009 for his new film The Wrestler, in which he plays a character whose ups-and-downs life story closely mirrors Rourke’s own remarkable tale. Mickey Rourke: Wrestling With Demons chronicles the star’s extraordinary adventure through life. From his nightmare childhood to his Hollywood breakthrough, then the downward spiral of bad behaviour, broken marriages, arrests and attitude problems to the new career as a boxer followed by the plastic surgery, loss of money and career before the million-to-one shot Hollywood comeback ending on the Oscars’ red carpet.
Mickey Rourke became a star in the 1980s with classics such as Angel Heart and 9 ½ Weeks, before dramatically falling from grace as his self-destructive behaviour derailed his film career and marriages. He then became a professional boxer in 1990s, which resulted in extensive plastic surgery to try and repair his once handsome face. After many depressing years in the wilderness, he finally made his Hollywood comeback in Sin City, followed by his remarkable performance in The Wrestler.
Written with passion, insight and expertise by one of the world’s most experienced and respected showbiz reporters, Sandro Monetti. Sandro covers Hollywood for the BBC and the Express Newspapers. He has based the book on his own interviews with the actor and stories uncovered during 20 years of covering Rourke’s headline hitting life and career for the international press.
