Actor Mickey Rourke just won a Golden Globe for his work on the film The Wrestler and according to his ex-wife Debra Feur, Mickey has many insecurities.
The couple first met back in 1980 when they were both filming the movie Hardcase and Debra thought that he was totally inept and mad. Why then would she have married him, you might ask? Yeah, we don’t know either. The two married in 1981 and she soon realized that he was riddled with fears.
“He is the most thin-skinned, oversensitive person I have ever met. When we met he was like a little abused dog. He was so vulnerable. He hated flying and he wouldn’t go in the ocean because he was afraid there would be sharks. He was so nervous. Despite taking up polo, he was even terrified of horses. He made his name playing sex symbols and fighters but he’d make a much better Woody Allen character. He’s so phobic.”
Feur stuck out the marriage until 1990 when they divorced. It seems like Debra must have issues of her own to have married Rourke in the first place. We’re just saying…
