Mickey Rourke, 73, has officially parted ways with his Los Angeles rental, according to court documents obtained by Page Six.
The actor’s former home on Drexel Avenue is now back under the landlord Eric T. Goldie’s control, following a judgment filed Monday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
The ruling came by default, meaning Rourke likely did not respond to the complaint or appear in court.
The court order requested “possession” of the property, and did not involve any financial damages. Back in December, Rourke was ordered to vacate the home within three days or pay $59,100 in back rent. In January, he was seen moving his belongings out, with a U-Haul parked outside, and was reportedly staying in a luxury West Hollywood hotel charging $550 a night.
During this time, a GoFundMe was created in Rourke’s name by Liya-Joelle Jones, attempting to raise $100,000 to prevent the eviction. Rourke quickly denied any connection to the fundraiser. In a January Instagram video, while holding a small dog, he stated, “I didn’t ask for f–king charity. That’s not me, OK? I wouldn’t know what a GoFund[Me] foundation is in a million years. I have too much pride.”
He added, “If I needed money, I wouldn’t ask for no f–king charity. I’d rather stick a gun up my @ss and pull the trigger. My life is very simple, I wouldn’t go to outside sources like that.”
Insiders also described Rourke’s approach to work and finances. His manager, Kimberly Hines, told TMZ that while opportunities exist, he holds out for high-paying projects, refusing work under $200,000 per day.
One source told the Daily Mail, “He’s rich poor, if that makes sense. He’s lived the life of a rock star with plenty of drug and alcohol abuse over the years.”
They added that Rourke has the ability to earn substantial sums from films and reality TV, but “spends it so fast that he is back at square one just as he starts making money again.”
