Mickey Rourke Trashes Sean Penn During Oscar Race

After his December 23 appearance on David Letterman, Rourke told someone backstage that he was surprised that so many people seemed to think that Penn was his Oscar competition since “I’m not even sure he’ll get a nomination.”
On December 28, a Los Angeles entertainment honcho shared a text message with me that Rourke had sent him: “Look seans an old friend of mine and i didnt buy his performance at all—thought he did an average pretend acting like he was gay besides hes one of the most homophobic people i kno" [sic]
Miami friends of Rourke acknowledge Rourke is brutally honest, even to his own detriment. “Mickey will call a spade a spade,” says a long time acquaintance. “Even if he makes you cringe sometimes with what he says, at least you’ll know he’s not bullshitting you.”
It's disappointing to hear Rourke making these statements when he's the one making the comeback. I doubt the Academy will look favorably upon his trash-talking. We don't want a Mel Gibson repeat, do we?
