Mickey Rourke Discusses Pressures of Having All Ten Fingers

The pressure of going from absolutely hot in the 70’s and 80’s to absolutely freaky in the 90’s took a toll on Mickey Rourke. The Sin City star admitted to an odd method of dealing with his anger and stress. Freakshow vented his frustration by attempting to cut off his pinkie finger.

The eccentric star says, "I cut my little finger off because I thought I didn't want it. I was angry about something so I decided I didn't need the end of the little finger on my left hand. I didn't cut it off completely - it was still hanging on a tendon - and an English friend, Gary, carefully carried the end of it as we went to hospital to try to rectify the situation. It took the surgeon eight hours to sew it back on. I still can't bend it properly."

A real man, Mickey Rourke, would have dealt with his frustration by just biting it off.

For shame.

Some of his 80s stuff is just pure awesome.

Only in that cheesey 80s action movie way, though.

You'd think after practicing on his pinkie he could trim his moustache a little more evenly.
