The star has been busy of late taking up boxing again. He began amateur boxing at the age of 12 before quitting acting briefly to return in the '90s, and last year took part in his first match for 20 years in Moscow.

He went on to beat his 29-year-old opponent, Russian professional boxer Elliot Seymour.

Rourke lost a reported 35 pounds while preparing for the match and had been training with Mike Tyson's former coach, Freddie Roach.

Rourke most recently reprised the character of Marv in Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller's Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.
