Hollywood big screen legend and Academy Award nominated Mickey Rourke sat down with 8CN and talked about his brilliant acting career and more. Rourke talked about his next big project which will be a movie about the life of retired Welch Rugby player Gareth Thomas. For those who do not follow Rugby, Thomas announced to the world that he is gay, which sent some shockwaves across the UK. Rourke tells 8CN that he will be flying to Wales and will actually be doing some work with former world champion Joe Calzaghe in preparation for the movie. Rourke is going to have to lose over 30 pounds for the role. He tells 8CN that he will be working with Calzaghe at the Calzaghe gym.
