Mickey Rourke called the 23 pound suit he had to wear as Whiplash in Iron Man 2 "really brutal." He even said it was even worse than being punched and pounded when filming the The Wrestler.
"It was torture to wear," the comeback actor said. "It was sort of a half-suit, with half my skin showing, with lots of Russian tattoos. It was hard to get on, hard to wear and agony to take off."
Rourke seems to be a glutton for punishment (hey, the women seem to like it). He returned to his hotel in NYC yesterday wearing a cast for his recent elbow injury.
Rourke will play the villain in the hotly anticipated flick opposite Robert Downey Jr.
