Actor and former professional boxer Mickey Rourke has entered the Celebrity Big Brother house for the 2025 season. Rourke, known for his roles in Iron Man 2, Barfly, and The Wrestler, has received critical acclaim for his work, including a Golden Globe and BAFTA Award for his portrayal of wrestler Randy ‘The Ram’ Robinson. Despite his impressive resume, Rourke has confessed to having “no expectations” for his time in the Big Brother house, stating that he has never seen the show before.
However, Rourke’s time in the house has already been marred by controversy after he made inappropriate comments towards other housemates, including suggesting that someone would no longer be gay if he stayed longer than four days and expressing a desire to vote the lesbian out quickly. After being reprimanded by Big Brother for his behavior, Rourke apologized to his housemates, acknowledging his “short fuse” and asking for forgiveness.
As fans eagerly await to see how Rourke’s time in the house unfolds, they can follow him on social media @mickey_rourke_ where he has nearly 450,000 followers. Celebrity Big Brother airs on ITV and ITVX, Sunday to Friday at 9pm.
