Feud:Mickey Rourke Vs. Robert De Niro

Mickey Rourke has been in a feud with Robert De Niro for over three decades and he just reignited it with a post on Instagram.

The last saga in the feud seems to have begun last year after Mickey claimed that Martin Scorsese wanted him to be in The Irishman, but then De Niro refused to work with him.

“The casting person told my manager that Robert De Niro said he refused to work with me in a movie," Rourke said on an Italian talk show in September 2019. A Page Six article with the title "Robert De Niro: Mickey Rourke is lying about ‘The Irishman’ snub" was then published with a statement from De Niro's rep.

De Niro's rep said at the time, "According to The Irishman producers, Jane Rosenthal and Emma Tillinger Koskoff, and casting director Ellen Lewis, Mickey Rourke was never asked to be in The Irishman nor was he ever even thought of, discussed or considered to be in the movie."

The feud started in 1987 on the set of the movie Angel Heart. Rourke said that he looked up to De Niro at the time, but he says the actor was not nice to him on set.

Well, now Mickey has released a new statement on Instagram in which he threatens to "embarrass" him the next time he sees him in person.

Mickey said, "Hey Robert De Niro, that’s right i am talking to you, you big f--king crybaby. A friend of mine just recently told me that a few months back you’re quoted as saying to newspapers 'Mickey Rourke’s a liar he talks all kind of shit.' Listen Mr.Tough Guy in the movies, you’re the 1st person that ever called me a liar and it was in a newspaper. Let me tell you something, you punk ass, when i see you i swear to God on my Grandmother, on my brother and all my dogs, i gonna embarrass you severally 100%. Mickey Rourke 'as God is my witness.'"

And the winner is: Lisa Bonet, who was also in that movie which eventually freed her from the clutches of Cosby and into the arms of Kravitz and later Momoa.

Meanwhile, her young clone is roaming Hollywood showing Mickey Rourke how to stay forever young without turning into Jocelyn Wildenstein, even though, true story, Rourke's plastic surgery journey began because he wanted to look more like DeNiro, and well, he's understandably bitter and nuts, like Deniro's ballsack.

The End.

I have a feeling this feud is one-sided.

That picture is honestly the best Rourke has looked in decades. Boxing really destroyed his face.

Micky Rourke was never on any list for 'THE IRISHMAN" never. If his manager told him this it was to give him a pride saving excuse form being excluded from consideration. He is just trying to get publicity.

DeNiro is selective about who he works with, but its more based on asshole behavior than talent

He's a piece of shit. His abuse of Carre Otis was harrowing to read about.

If Martin Scorsese had written the scene where Lisa Kudrow fights Woody's girlfriend on Cheers.

If he doesn't want to work with people who throw public shitfits and use social media to try to start publicity-mongering feuds, who can blame him?

It's so sad someone could be as beautiful as he was at r3 and then just intentionally try to fuck that up as much as possible.
