Mickey Rourke says fans who donated to a GoFundMe to keep him from getting evicted should get their money back. “If I needed money, I wouldn’t ask for no fucking charity,” he asserted in a January 5 Instagram video.

Despite her client claiming total ignorance, Kimberly Hines told THR that she and her assistant had the idea to reach out to the public for help, and says that Rourke gave the thumbs up, though she cops to the idea that he may not have realized what he was agreeing to. As she put it:

With the drive closing in on its $100,000 goal in 24 hours, the star of 'The Wrestler' says he will return all the donations.

Mickey has lived the life of a rock star with plenty of drug and alcohol abuse over the years,” an insider told the Daily Mail Sunday.

American actor, screenwriter, and ex-boxer Mickey Rourke is currently facing a housing crisis, an eviction notice, and financial difficulties.

Reportedly, the GoFundMe is being run by Liya-Joelle Jones, who is described as a friend and a member of Rourke’s management team. Per the outlet, the veteran character actor reportedly received a three-day eviction notice on Dec. 18, after signing the lease in March 2025. The rent was initially $5,200 per month, then raised to $7,000.
