Title: Mickey Rourke Claims 235lbs Weight in "The Wrester"
Post by: MichaelScottDM on December 09, 2008, 04:29:33 PM
Haha, this is guy is as delusional as some on here. He is 5'11'' by the way..

Per. IMDB


Mickey Rourke packed on the pounds to play a battered fighter in acclaimed new movie The Wrestler - and brought in an Israeli cage fighter to beat him up.

The actor spent six months weight training and guzzling protein drinks to gain more than 30 pounds (13.6 kilograms) for his new role, but it was his trainer who really kicked him into shape.

He tells WENN, "I went in at 192 pounds and I had to get up to 235. I never had to gain weight before; I always had to lose weight for different sports.

"After putting 20 pounds of muscle on, it got really hard. I hired this Israeli cage fighter who was from the army and he was real strict with me. He wouldn't take any bulls**t and that's what I needed. I didn't want a trainer who I was gonna tell when I was gonna work out.

"Coming from the army, he could kick my ass and he was all about focus and discipline, mixing cardio with weightlifting. There were days where I wanted to do either cardio or weights because I was sore all the time, all day and all night.

"I never lifted big heavy iron to put on size, so I had a lot of protein, six to seven small meals throughout the day."

Rourke's regime was so tough, he longed for Saturdays - as that was the only day he had off.

He adds, "I had one night a week because my trainer was a Jewish dude, and he wasn't allowed to work on Saturdays because of Sabbath and I couldn't wait for that day to come along.

"He was very religious and I respected him a lot. I didn't want to disappoint him because he took it hard and I think I was very lucky to have this guy in my life."

I've met him before and seems taller than 5'11", he seemed closer to 6'1" maybe 6'2".  He is kind of hunched back.

I've met him in person and he's a lot bigger than he looks on TV.  I would say he is around 240.


Same with Benoit.  I thought he was a midget but when I met him he was about 3 inches taller than me which would be about 6 ft 2 inches.

i saw the movie at TIFF this year

great movie, not as good as Requiem or Pi.  Completely different genre though.  Rourke basically carried the movie.

He was pretty jacked.  Dudes face looks like it got burned with flamethrower though.

Vince, you're insane.  I worked for Flair for several years and met Benoit at out Christmas party in Charlotte in 1999.  He was MAYBE 5'9".  Top of his head was no taller than my chin level...
