Mickey Rourke won the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture-Drama at the Golden Globes this evening for his lead role in The Wrestler.
He gave a surprisingly eloquent and heartfelt speech, noting that he is not used to speaking in public and that he was almost "out of the business" (Hollywood) a few years ago. (The critics are calling his speech "interesting.")
Rourke thanked his agent, director, producers, co-stars, etc. and then he told the audience he'd like to thank his dogs--both the ones that are still with him now, and those that had passed on.
Sometimes when a man's alone, all you got is your dog and they meant the world to me.
--Mickey Rourke, during his acceptance speech for Best Actor at the Golden Globes.
I bet nobody's ever thanked their dog before at the Golden Globes, and I admire that Mickey Rourke did. He expressed the immense love and gratitude we feel towards our dogs who give us unconditional love, companionship and loyalty. (Not to mention regular laughs.)

Oh yes he does. He's getting old, living in Hollywood, FL is not cheap and he's going to need more cosmetic surgery. He's just acting the bad boy. Still acting. He copies Marlon Brandon in that movie with the Gods when he's chewing on the nuts. Same acting as Marlon Brandon in Apocalypse Now.
He's an authentic man.. no PC veneer.
I’m just now seeing this. No doubt that the Oscars were afraid of the raw emotion of his personality. He won every other award that year except the Oscar
I feel bad for the uneducated people that don't have the smarts to "GET" just how relivant Mickey Rourke is. He is one of the most loved & respected actors in history. He always keeps it real.

This dude is the MAN!!!!!!! I love you MR lova you
This really IS the best acceptance speech ever ! I love Mickey sooooooooo much !
I honestly think the Academy was so scared of this, they decided to give it to Sean Penn.

They gave it to Penn because that was “ woke “ before woke. That’s it. Wasn’t even Mickey being on the outs. Thing about this, or his career, shows you what a shit industry it is and has been. He called it thirty years ago. Did his job and walked. Now look at The film industry. Opinions. Yayyy. Just play pretend and go away. Because. Mickey knew. “ Playing pretend “. And he rocks.

@@seanimac7759 Yes the whole industry has gone downhill. I wish he had won the Best Actor Oscar.......I really do, but then I wish he had won it for his roles in Angel Heart..........Year Of The Dragon..............etc........why was he not nominated in those??? I just recently watched him in an underrated movied called FTW The Last Ride, and loved him in that one too. Even if the movie he is in isnt a great movie...............he is always a stand out!
Best more real speech ever
He is just class, honest and genuine, fresh, love him, and love his acting
Fucking hilarious. This guy's a legend.

In his own mind no less
i am so happy for him this must have been so overwhelming for him,,,,i cant imagine the emotion
" Johnny Handsome" Rouke is the truth!!
He is the real deal. Rough around the edges not spit and polished like so many soul-selling assholes.....Will he get another job? Who cares....he is just being himself and not a wannabee.......
Would love to see this at the Academy Awards!
Micky is great love him to pieces.
i love mickys honesty he is a true hero. he is what my own idea of a man IS. micky is as full of insecuritys as anyone, but he overcomes them simply by being one of the most unusual humans on the planet.
Well said mickey nice to see you back
Rumblefish ! a masterpiece
This dude is too funny and as blunt and as they come and on stage even! And to where he didnt even not hesitate to just speak his mind! Lol
Absolutely Need so more mickeys in this world ,His honesty is refreshing his energys exhausting, God bless him.
MICKEY ROURKE IS AN EXCEPTIONAL PERSON...NOT JUST A FABULOUS TALENT!
Mickey Rourke is really the best of his generation. Hands down for him to have the courage to come back and be so real, humble and unapologetically himself. Not many actors in Holywood who are so raw and honest as he is in everything they say and do. You won Mickey, you won the Oscar in people’s hearts and that’s what really matters!
Classic genius! Classic Mickey Rourke! Iconic actor whose survived the demons that made him famous & led to his downfall. He is back, he is humble, he is honest and I wish continued path to happiness! I loved him in “Year or Dragon”!

Good to see him back.......then anyway....Year Of The Dragon....was a really great, very underrated movie. Oh MIckey.....Your so Fine !!!!!
I love and adore Mickey Rourke since 1982 , all my life I love to watch anything that has MR in it as it is always something else way above ! Mickey Rourke is the best , he’s a pure diamond from the best and purest grade ! I didn’t had a father , I’ve looked up on Mickey Rourke since I was 7 years of age to the man I would like to be , I am so proud he even exists and I got to have him in my life through the tv as he’s charisma is unmatchable, and nobody can touch he’s art and he’s “THE REAL DEAL” way to be ! Bless you Mickey Rourke I hope you read this to know how many people from across the globe loves you , I met mommas , grandmas , Youngs and people from all sorts that tell me they love you , and people got your posters on the wall ! Absolutely legendary, one of a kind personality, so extremely cool the real McCoy !
great speech .....
Mickey Rourke Rocks!!
that speech alone deserves another trophy
This speach is outrageous. Hope he hosts the Oscars next year!
I love Mickey Rourke ! Excellent actor and such a down to earth and funny guy. ❤
Love love Mickry Rourke !!!!!!!❤🤛👊💪
lmfao that was such a great speech. There was no rehearsing and no scripting to it. It came straight from the heart and thats the BEST SPEECH EVER!!! He was clever and funny :D
This man fears nothing. Let us follow him.
I agree! I actually have watched this speech a number of times because its just so damn much fun. Whatever Mickey Rourke has, he's got it in spades.
Honestly like that is so refreshing....No one can not love Mickey after hearing that speech
you guys ever seen him in Angel Heart with Robert Dinero, Lisa Bonet? great fkn movie
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE it! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
Darren Aronofsky truly is a legend for believing in Mickey Rourke. He single-handedly brought him back from the dumps and back to the league of acting he belongs in. No other director would have risked hiring Mickey but Darren was committed to bringing out the best in him
Now that was the Mother of acceptance speeches........and yes.....the best one I've ever heard!
The Motorcycle Boy reins
Got to love Mickey Rourke he tells it like it is, he doesn't mince words and he doesn't care what overly sensitive cry baby gets offended. That's a real man there!
I would have loved to see this happen at the oscars
BEST DAM ACCEPTANCE SPEECH EVER!!!!!
I just saw the movie. It is really really really REALLY good! It did something to me. It makes you feel things. It so real. Mickey did the best performance I've ever seen in a movie.
To come back from drugs it's almost superhuman, happy for him!! and Erick Roberts is so beautiful!!
He's always with the True straight Foward
One ☝🏼 of a kind. One ☝🏼 of A KIND.
love it!
Mickey rocks rourke is the man
That was awesome!
I love mickey great actor. glad he is back
Outstanding speech he was totally off the chain!!!!!
LEGEND!
talk abt keepin it real!!!! AWESOME
Mickey Rourke. the only actor who can turn an award acceptance into a roast
Ana Kasperian’s laugh is a national treasure. 😊
That was great. He's not the brightest guy, but he knows his place, he's happy in it, and he tells it like it is.
Classic Mickey Man.. what a great fucken guy!!!!!
I can honestly say that I never lost faith in this guy. I liked everything he was in. Mickey was great in 'The Wrestler' it's amazing, get it out if you havn't seen it already.
Why would anyone give this video a thumbs down.

This is like Inception, a video inside a video inside a video
he is a humble man
Eric Roberts IS the fuckin' man...lol Love how uncensored he is...he's livin' it up and it's about time. 9 1/2 weeks is still by far my favorite movie and I'm SOO happy he's back doin' his thing.
You can't put a price on this shit! Mickey Roarke is a true original.
He should have won the Oscar for that film!! He was robbed!!
Thats gold!!
Mickey is the real deal.
It's nice to see Mickey back in action.
classic, loves it
I love Eric Roberts, it was so funny cause I've thought for years why the hell he wasn't given bigger roles, loved him in Dark Knight, all the movies, TV shows and music videos he's alway in.

Best speech ever
I think the part about "not being able to get her out of the trailer" was in reference to her on set trailer... Not necessarily the trailer park. He was talking about her nude scenes. REF 7:24
Wow, thanks for talking over the whole thing
he seems pretty honest
Rourke is the shit! Gotta love him! Who else swears like that at an award ceremony?
mickey you are the great of all times
Mickey Rourke is freakin'....AWESOME
YO' Mickey O'Rourke an Erik Robert's are the most underrated actors ever in the history of movie making..
one of us in hollywood.REAL DEAL
Funny man..talented as hell! Good for him!
Mickey Rourke is a stud!
Well now that's the kind of a speech Hollywood cherishes. they love it. It's how they are and think and describes their very soul content. It makes them giddy like a school girl before a prom. From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks, and a creature from hell could not have said it any better. Congratulation.
BEST SPEECH EVER!!!
MICKEY ROURKE ACCEPTANCE SPEECH WAS GREAT !!!
The Brutal Honesty Award. I feel ya.
don't get me wrong. i love mickey. he's my favorite actor. and of course i would've loved to see him doing more and better movies over the last 20 years. but i take him for what he is and he looks better these days than a few years back. so just get over it man and stop whining!!! be glad he's back and didn't disappear completely
