Polanski still making movies? Hollywood shocked an appalled by Will Smiff slapping a dude though.

Above the fray.
Rourke wanted to be a real life tough guy and crawl around in the dirt with the criminal element.Blew his career. His choice. In fact, he's still crawling around in the dirt with criminal element by appearing in a polanski film.

I hear his point about Tom Cruise, though. He is a global superstar, and takes safe scripts that will generate millions of dollars. His choice.

Don't expect Mickey Rourke to ever play Tom Cruise's wingman.

The Wrestler actor, 69, was asked about Cruise's recent billion dollar box office success with Top Gun: Maverick and gave his honest opinion about his "irrelevant" peer.

"That doesn't mean s*** to me," Rourke said on Piers Morgan Uncensored. "The guy's been doing the same effing part for 35 years, ya know? I've got no respect for that."







Rourke went on to say, "I don't care about money and power. I care about when I watch Al Pacino work and Chris Walken and [Robert] De Niro's early work and Richard Harris's work and Ray Winstone's work. That’s the kind of actor I want to be like. Like Monty Clift and [Marlon] Brando back in the day. A lot of guys who tried to stretch as actors."



Morgan then asked, "You don't think Tom Cruise is a good actor?" — and Rourke made his stance even more clear.

"I think he's irrelevant in my world," replied Rourke, who has been filming Roman Polanski’s upcoming film The Palace.

A rep for Cruise has not yet responded to Yahoo Entertainment's request for comment.

Top Gun: Maverick, the long-awaited sequel to the 1986 original starring Cruise as a Navy pilot, came out May 27 and has raked in $1.18 billion internationally so far.

Last week, Miles Teller — who appeared in Maverick — said he's had "conversations" with "T.C." about a Top Gun 3. "It's all up to Tom," he added. "We'll see."

Dude is a great actor but he's has been bitter about how his career for 30 years, he has no one to blame but himself. When he was an A list actor getting consistent roles he wanted to box and be a "rebel". Had a second chance after the Wrestler, then went back to doing the same shyt, plus picked a bunch of bad movies to be in.
