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

He was homophobic, sexist and aggressive.

Exactly,what was funny?

amybabysa · 21/05/2025 12:46

I am glad the majority actually found him funny. Hopefully he appears on more reality TV here. I’m only 30, wouldn’t have heard of him if he wasn’t on BB!

You need to watch 9 1/2 weeks OP 😉

He was so beautiful in that film. Doesn’t look like that now 🥴.

He was beautiful in that film, bears no resemblance to that at all now.

Didn't watch CBB at all. Rourke always struck me as a massive talent wasted, that wrestling film, amazing, but not much else along the way

HighLadyofTheNightCourt · 21/05/2025 14:39

I mean she was wearing a clingy see through body stocking

And? What exactly are you suggesting here?

He’s a great actor, but I’m not sure the film was my cup of tea though I did watch it last weekend

That’s really embarrassing for you.

To be fair he’s in his seventies, better discovering such a legend late than never

I haven’t seen any of it! But I bet he was genuinely entertaining, he’s a real character. People should give over being so po faced about everything, it’s boring.

Appalonia · 21/05/2025 14:53

I loved him in 9 and a Half Weeks ( and for some reason, I have 2 copies of it on dvd..!) I found it really sad that he has ended up like that, a shell of his former self. Maybe much of it was of his own making, but it was distressing to see him like that. In a way I'm glad he was removed for his own sake, it was never going to give him the comeback he wanted.

If po faced means not laughing at a man who says he'll tie up a woman and change her sexuality, leer at the presenter and say he's going to come in a girl a quarter of his age then yeah, I'm po faced. If Andrew Tate is your thing then it's hilarious.

I suspect the OP is on the wind up though.

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

WTAF? And people find that funny?

swampwomp · 21/05/2025 14:57

Not really but I love him in Angel Heart.

HighLadyofTheNightCourt · 21/05/2025 14:57

Glad you found my comment funny @amybabysa but you've still not explained why you thought the way a women was dressed meant it was appropriate for a man to behave inappropriately towards her. And to continue that behaviour when she asked him to stop?
What makes that funny?

So anyone can touch?
I bet you think girls that receive sexual abuse deserve it if they were in a short skirt or low top!!

He wasn’t entertaining, he was boring and just slept a lot

To be fair I don’t think he was ever going to make a comeback in terms of mainstream popularity, there’s too many woke people who would be offended. I think he was on masked singer at one point though.

It's not 'woke' to find homophobia and sexism incredibly unfunny and offensive. It's 2025, he's a dinosaur who should never have been given any screentime.

Coconutter24 · 21/05/2025 15:03

Oh yeah, I remember he claimed he had insomnia than slept on the small couch fully clothed. I wonder why he didn’t take a bed. V funny. Jack said something like “hes got insomnia but all he does is sleep!”

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

I haven’t watched it for years. I remember feeling the house seemed so small. Like half the size of the old CBB house when I last saw it.

Such an overused, cop out of a comment. Define woke...

Do you know what woke means?

It’s not a word insult to people who don’t stand for cunty men being vile.
