What a remarkable journey it has been for Mickey Rourke. The down-n-out 'failed' actor had given up on a career in Hollywood years ago. Yet, with his passionate and powerful performance in The Wrestler, he resurrected his career and won his first Golden Globe.
Rumour has it that Rourke trained for months as a professional wrestler, just to gain insight into the real world of wrestling. Turns out, all those bumps and bruises he sustained weren't for nought.
It's a bit surprising that Leonardo DiCaprio didn't bring home the award for his work in Revolutionary Road.
