The Wrestler's New Face
Mickey Rourke went from 80s heartthrob to unrecognizable brawler.
Once a handsome leading man, Mickey Rourke's face was ravaged by his time as a professional boxer, requiring reconstructive surgery. Unfortunately, he admitted he 'went to the wrong guy' for the repairs which, combined with later cosmetic procedures, left him with a puffy and completely transformed appearance. His story is a tragic mix of necessary reconstruction and cosmetic missteps.
