MICKEY ROURKE WILL PLAY "A MAN WHO PLAYS RUGBY WHO IS GAY"


Mickey Rourke appeared on british tv chat show Alan Carr’s Chatty Man and discussed his next projects, in one of his upcoming projects Rourke revealed he’ll play an openly gay welsh rugby player Gareth Thomas. 


This is how the exchange between Rourke and Carr went.

Carr: Is it true you’re about to play a gay rugby player?

Rourke: You’re not supposed to say that, okay? Here’s the deal. When I met the rugby player, Gareth Thomas, this is one thing that he and I talked about. This is something that’s really important. We’re doing a movie about a man who plays rubgy who is gay.

Carr: Oh, I see. Sorry, I shouldn’t be so homophobic.

Rourke: That’s the point though.

Carr: Labels.

Rourke: Abso-fucking-lutely. I read the story. it’s one of the tougerst, hardest sports in the world to play. They play with no pads. They play… it’s a really brutal sport. To be a man who plays rugby who is gay and to live with that secret for the amount of years that Gareth had, to perform at the high level that he performed at, it takes a lot of courage.

Carr: Are you going to learn the Welsh?

Rourke: I have no choice.

Alan Carr is an openly Gay tv presenter.
