Mickey Rourke

Mickey Rourke was awesome at boxing when he was a kid.  He fought as a bantamweight and won tons of shit.  Then he had one role in a local play and was like fuck it, I like acting.  Then he was an awesome actor.  And then an international sex symbol for his controversial roles in movies like 9 1/2 weeks.  And the best part is, he has no self-respect and makes terrible decisions.  That's called modesty! He turned down roles in Pulp Fiction, Silence of the Lambs, Rain Man and the Untouchables.  Then when he was turning 40, he was like, "I forget what it's like to beat the shit out of people."  So in 1991 he just went back to boxing.  Oh yeah, and he was undefeated in his 8 fights.  His fucking trainer was Chuck Zito from Hell's Angels!  I don't even know who that is but he sounds fuckin awesome.  Then Mickey went back to acting and instantly became Man of the Year by Total Film for Sin City.  As far as I'm concerned, Mickey Rourke is the Man of the Year, every year.  

(Below:  A diesel beast.  Upon further examination it looks like Mickey at age 56.  In his Oscar nominated role for Best Actor.)
