Mickey Rourke has expressed regret for the “terrible mistakes” he made in his marriage to Carré Otis.
The Wrestler actor was married to the model-and-actress from June 1992 to December 1998 and they starred in 1989’s Wild Orchid and 1996 thriller Exit in Red together, and the 73-year-old star has insisted none of what went wrong between them was the “fault” of his 57-year-old ex-wife.
Mickey took to Instagram to share another user’s post praising Wild Orchid and, in a garbled caption, he added: “Wrong girlb not her fault all my mistake I was a fool fit so many yrs not her fault at all I just made a blind terrible mistake big regret not of it her fault all my blame.(sic)”
Carre – who is now married to chemical engineer Matthew Sutton and has two daughters with him – previously branded her marriage to Mickey an “abusive relationship”.
Speaking to the Huffington Post in 2011 to promote her book Beauty, Disrupted: A Memoir – which detailed the alleged abuse she had suffered during her modelling career and in her relationship with the former boxer – she said: “We were both from really dysfunctional backgrounds and we both had the perfect ground to feed that dysfunction because we didn’t have tools and I was a kid.
“I was a young person and obviously greatly influenced by one of America’s greatest actors at that moment.”
Later that year, Mickey insisted he had no intention of reading his ex-wife’s “delusional” tome.
He told CNN’s Piers Morgan: “From what I’ve heard about it, and what have, it’s probably kind of like a little bit of sour grapes, chasing the buck and a delusional, narcissistic self-centered point of view.”
Last year, the Rumble Fish actor candidly admitted his acting career is “in the toilet” and he signed up to take part in UK reality show Celebrity Big Brother because he couldn’t bear the idea of filming a “really bad independent movie”.
He told The Sun newspaper: “I’ve made mistakes, many. I have nobody to blame for my ship sinking except myself.
“My career is in the toilet and I’m not getting A-list movies. I’d like to be back where I can work on movies that have integrity.
“There’s directors I want to work with and have them not be afraid of me and trust me for who I am today, not for the reputation I have.
“But once it goes past a certain point, I’ve got a short fuse – there’s no turning back. It’s on.”
