Mickey Rourke has never been one to shy away from making his feelings known, and man did he ever make his feelings about Tom Cruise known.
Rourke, star of the hit movie Sin City, recently tore a strip off Tom Cruise for his stance and much publicized scrutiny of psychiatry, calling him, among other things, a “cunt”.
Rourke credits his psychiatrist, who he sees on a regular basis, with not only saving his career, but his life as well. Rourke frequently discusses his irrational dislike of certain actors, which has resulted in him turning down a number of roles, with his psychiatrist.

Warning: Rourke likes profanity… a lot.
Cruise’s tirade on the Today show last year, where he publicly criticized Brooke Shields for her use of anti-depressants to treat postpartum depression, struck a particularly sour note with Rourke. “(My therapist) saved my fucking life and my career. I don’t care what Tom Cruise says about therapy. Fuck him. Cunt. Pick on poor Brooke Shields,” said Rourke. “People need medicine and they need therapists. Let the Scientologists go fucking live on a planet of their own.”
Have I mentioned lately how much I love Mickey Rourke? No? I love Mickey Rourke! I just wish Cruise had of been within ear shot when Rourke kicked into full gear. He would have either slunk away, which would be the intelligent thing to do, or tried to step up to Rourke, who would have promptly beat his ass.
*sigh* Mickey, you’re the man.
