Mickey Rourke: Good Genes or Good Docs?

Mickey Rourke rebuilt his damaged career by playing "The Wrestler" ... and he doesn't have the scars to prove it.

Mickey Rourke

Here's the 31-year-old back in 1984 (left) -- and 25 years later, the 56-year-old version earlier this year (right).

He's as good as new.

21. What, are you kidding me? This guy looks like ten miles of bad road. If he has had any work done, it has only been recently. I can not belive the guy can even get work in hollywood. So to you at TMZ when you say "good genes or good doc" I say "neither.

22. I'm with the majority here.....the question sounds as if he looks good/has improved with age. Change the question to "bad genes or bad docs"? And, maybe add......."bad lifestyle"?

27. for some reason, i never saw mickey like how some (*most*) ppl see him... i mean, its obvious he's had work done, but he doesn't look like a male joan rivers to me... he looks different, yes, but he still has wrinkles and creases, esp. round the eyes... and funny enough, his nose looks bigger now...

and for gerald, #7... rupert everett FTW!!!
