Mickey Rourke Has No Plans To Ever Watch Iron Man 2!

Mickey Rourke Has No Plans To Ever Watch Iron Man 2!

When asked whether or not he's watched the movie yet, the actor gave a fairly brief response that you've just got to check out for yourself...

"No," Rourke told MTV News when asked if he'd seen the movie he starred as Whiplash in yet.

"I like doing 'em. I don't give a [frick] about watching my own stuff."

What do you guys think about this? Are you bothered that Rourke seemingly has no interest in checking out the movie or were you happy enough with his performance that you also don't give a [frick]? Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place! :)

Iron Man 2 is out now to buy on DVD/Blu-Ray and will be released in the UK on October 25th!

lol well, he was the best thing on Iron Man 2 anyway.

That's not a knock towards the film. He said himself "...my own stuff." There are a lot of actors that don't like to watch their own movies, Johnny Depp has said that he doesn't either.

Most actors don't enjoy watching themselves.

No, I don't see a problem.

I actually feel sorry for the actors/director who have to attend the premiere of their movies over and over again, in the countries the film opens. They have to watch the same film a dozen times.

Was it me or did he look the same in Expendables like he did in Ironman 2. All he did was change his voice.

I agree with him. I dont even like looking at myself on video or even in pictures sometimes. I just dont like the sound of my own voice on camera. So ya, I wouldn't watch either.

I don't know if I would want to watch myself on a giant screen.

I completely get where he's coming from! I too feel pretty self-conscious when watching myself on camera and can't really imagine what it would be like to see myself giving a performance on the big screen...curiosity might get the better of me though so I'm surprised he has no interest! Would he have not seen it at the premiere!?

I think it's pretty common; some actors just get self-conscious watching themselves act. I know Harrison Ford hates watching his own movies

@Josh,
A lot of times stars show up at the premier/red carpet and then slip out when the film starts

I could watch me all night long. It's why i always film myself having sex. The camera films and is uploaded directly to my projector that shoots my ass on the wall of my bedroom, while i'm doing it. Cause mirror's just don't do it for me.

Actually, I’ve seen interviews with Mickey before where he says that: He likes working, he likes acting, and he likes getting paid. But the rest of the process of a film being made has nothing to do with him, so he doesn’t even think about it. Watch the so-called “Almost Commentary” on Angel Heart…

A lot of actors don't like watching their own performances. I don't mind someone being honest about that.

He must have heard how bad his character was.

A lot of actors don't watch their own stuff for one reason or another, either they're embarassed watching themselves or in Johnny Depp's case, it's because they want to preserve the memories of making the film rather than seeing it. The tactile experience of making it mattered moreto them.

It can come off as a bit douchebaggy sounding though.

Come on, Gusto. That was a good film! It even had Gemma Arterton in it for the love of all that is holy and wet!!!

Lots of actors don't like to watch themselves. It's probably accentuated by his new found popularity, thus he's full of himself again. It was entertaining, yet still a re-hash of sorts.

Every time I watch a recording of one of my plays, I keep thinking to myself, "God what a sh!tty actor I am," even after everyone else tells me how good I was. I can totally relate to how Mickey Rourke feels.

Wow, there's a whole lot've people hatin' on IM2 in here. I thought it was pretty decent, liked it just a little less than the first.

But I suppose a large amount of people's standards on this site are so high that it's to the point now where "If it's not done perfectly, it automatically sucks ass."

People need to back off the nitpicking sometimes.

As for Rourke, if he doesn't watch his own stuff, that's cool, probably a lot've actors that don't.

@Arminies:
There isn't much Avengers stuff, but concerning Iron Man and his colleagues. Black Widow was originally in Iron Man comics, and a lot of the other things belong to the plot. I agree that Marvel must run damage control on so many references/cast members for oversaturation as of 2012, but there was a minimum of Avengers stuff.

I didn't like the movie that much but it was watachable. Probably didn't like it as much because of the predesscesscor kicking it's ass but whatever. It's understandable to not watch the movie once let alone see it twice.

Yeah... don't blame him... the movie was average... still, we've still got IRON MAN I!

Hopefully IRON MAN 3 will blow that away and be AWESOME!

Funny that ROURKE had the same hair and style in 'EXPENDABLES' that made me chuckle! : P

IRON MAN 3 : ARMOR WARS ftw!


Oh yeah... check out a SUPERMAN CASTING, no its not for the new movie lol!

Click click = KENT & LANE TV CASTING!

I only care for the product. For example, Ewan Mac Gregor is a great actor, performed a great Kenobi... but is as stupid as a dog smoking pod.

I think IM2 is a very good movie. My only problem with it was that the final battle was predictable and a little lame. The stuff about Tony's self-destructive behavior and wrestling with his legacy was well done, as were the supporting characters. Yeah, for me it basically just whiffed with the final battle.

Mickey Rourke is the definitive Hollywood bada**.
Anyway, I don't think I would want to watch something I acted in, it would hard not to just watch/critique yourself.
