Why Did Mickey Rourke Have Plastic Surgery?

Mickey Rourke was once loved for his looks as much as he was for his acting. A long time ago, in the 1980s, he had it all. From fame, charm to a face that was perfect for Hollywood. However, over time, everything started to change. His face started to look a bit different. A little puffy, a little stretched, and sometimes almost unrecognizable. With this, fans started asking questions. What happened? Why does Mickey Rourke look so different now?
Rumors started to fly. Some said it was bad plastic surgery. Some thought he wanted to look younger. Some said he overdid it. But the real story is much deeper than that. Rourke didn’t just decide to change his face. It was a long, painful journey, both physically and emotionally.
