Mickey Rourke is a lot of things but never boring.
The LA Times takes a look at his fearless sense of fashion as he works the award circuit in support of his unexpected comeback role in The Wrestler describing his choices as, “a sartorial riot of textures and patterns and colors, mixing and matching pieces with a fearlessness paralleled only by his astonishing performance.”
"The first thing he said was that he's not George Clooney and he's never going to be George Clooney," said Rourke's stylist Michael Fisher.
He describes the actor's choices saying, "Mickey is a personality, and he has his own sense of style. He likes clothes, and he likes expressing himself though clothes. He does it in his acting and he does it in his day-to-day life.”
“Most guys are either going to be safe and, for lack of a better word, boring when it comes to red carpet dressing, just because they don't have the time or interest, or they're just too afraid of criticism. And Mickey's not that.”
Rourke’s attitude may be reformed based on his humbled return but his fashion sense is unapologetic.
"It's out there," said Fisher.
Fisher can’t confirm what Rourke will be donning at the Oscars this Sunday but “it won’t be black.”
