Did anyone like Micky Rourke on Celebrity Big Brother?

I must admit I’d never heard of him before the show. I think he was/is absolutely hilarious and I would love to see him on more reality TV. I think he will be reluctant to sign up though after being told to leave with no/half his pay.

i will say I’m not sure he knows what planet he’s living on judging by some of his social media posts, but I totally lost interest in the series once he’d gone though I did persevere and finish it

I personally didn’t have a problem with him and did think he was quite funny at times however he came across a bit unhinged, his outburst towards Chris wasn’t necessary, Chris was clearly joking. Obviously we only see parts but from what I can make out from various other celebs, he was a handful.

He should never had been allowed on after the way he was with AJ on opening night, was disgusting! He should have been straight out the back door.

I mean she was wearing a clingy see through body stocking

I don't know if "like" is the right word, but I certainly found him entertaining. After he was chucked out I didn't bother watching, just followed it on the MN thread.

You need to watch 9 1/2 weeks OP 😉

I enjoyed him. He reminded me of some of the contestants on Big Brother years ago before it became woke and boring. Like a PP I lost interest after he left.

agreed. The stuff he said to Jojo and the other girl (I forgot her name she fancied Chris) was hilarious

Seriously? He’s not to blame for lacking self control because of what she was wearing? What is Andrew Tate doing on mumsnet?

Hilarious that he basically said he'd r* the gay out of her?

This has got to just be a wind up. We're in 2025. Women can wear whatever the hell they like and should be able to do so without sleezy men thinking it's a come on.

Sesma · 21/05/2025 06:17

He was much more entertaining than the rest of the boring people on there. It was the worst year of CBB and should really be put to bed

Butterbly · 21/05/2025 06:29

No i didn't.

He has a fairly long history of reported poor behaviour

There's only so many time someone can apologise for using homophobic slurs before you think they probably aren't that sorry (this is at least the third time by my memory)

Most of the cast have also inferred that other stuff that went on with him was cut

Missey85 · 21/05/2025 06:31

Well it turned out he was right about JoJo 😆😆 and pretending to be a lesbian for social media likes

This. The bar is in hell for men

CalicoPusscat · 21/05/2025 07:09

I honestly can't imagine him on CBB. I'll find some clips. He's set in his ways and yes, sexist.

Where do you get 9 1/2 weeks streaming in the UK? I've moved away from dvds now but can't find it anywhere. I found it interesting about boundaries and not being able to build an emotional connection with someone.

A lot of these old films aren't on streaming, BBC occasionally puts older stuff like this on iPlayer for a month, I generally just get the DVD cheap off eBay though this one won't be so cheap at the moment because of CBB. We still have 2 dvd players and an Apple SuperDrive to watch DVDs because of this.

He was utterly vile - what makes you find that funny?

EscapeTheCastle · 21/05/2025 08:58

He was a big heart throb in my teen years. I knew he would be too much for ccb as I've still followed his career since the 80s. As long ago as the early 90s he hurt his wife Carrie Ottis and he wasn't making good films anymore as hollywood dropped him.

babybelwax · 21/05/2025 09:03

He was homophobic, sexist and aggressive.

It says a lot about you that this was your take away.

He was vile but clearly that’s what you find entertaining.

BlueandWhitePorcelain · 21/05/2025 09:06

Watch him in “Diner”.

yoyo3 · 21/05/2025 09:07

Me and Dh thought he was hilarious and found it boring after he left

Sesma · 21/05/2025 09:08

It was really boring after he left, they use too many reality and soap stars.
