Actor Mickey Rourke (Sin City, The Wrestler, 9 1/2 Weeks) won an exhibition boxing match in Moscow. Rourke defeated Elliot Seymour, a 29-year-old former California Golden Gloves champ. It was his first fight in 20 years. Back then, in the early 1990s, Rourke “suffered a number of facial injuries which required surgery and changed his appearance.”
Once again, Rourke’s appearance has changed. The 62-year-old reportedly lost more than 33 lbs. for the Russian fight and he’s donning a strange salt-and-pepper wig that is unevenly cut. Rourke told Russian TV boxing had “sort of saved me from myself.”
