Time Is Cruel: You Won’t Even Recognize These Famous Faces

Mickey Rourke Now

Rourke picked up a few minor acting roles in the 90s when he returned to acting from the boxing ring. Although his face was badly damaged from his time on the fight scene, his talent allowed him to work steadily, often portraying misfits and misunderstood tough guys.

Yet, it wasn’t until 2005’s Sin City that Rourke had another significant starring role. It was his performance in 2009’s The Wrestler that would lead to a Golden Globe, a BAFTA and an Oscar nomination. Our next stunning star was an 80’s wonder but is completely unrecognizable in the 2010’s.
