Hollywood veteran Mickey Rourke, facing financial woes, has been tossed a lifeline by director Eric Spade Rivas. The indie filmmaker is offering a quick $1,000 cameo in his upcoming 'Scarface Resurrection' to help the actor out. It's a small gesture in a big struggle, but every bit counts.
Oh honey, Mickey Rourke's been through the wringer lately, and now a director's stepping in with what might be the most bittersweet offer in Tinseltown history. According to TMZ, Eric Spade Rivas saw the headlines about Rourke's rough patch and decided to extend a hand—offering a $1,000 cameo in his indie flick 'Scarface Resurrection.' It's just one scene, clocking in at about two minutes, a total in-and-out job.
For those keeping score, this isn't their first rodeo. Back in 2020, Rourke signed on for Rivas's 'The Duke of New York' for $5K but ended up bailing. No shade from Eric, though—he tells TMZ there's zero bad blood and he actually feels bad about how it went down. He wants to make it right this time, even if $1K is all this small indie operation can muster. 'Mickey deserves way more,' Eric admits, but hey, beggars can't be choosers in this economy. 🔥
The movie's already in the editing bay, starring Michael Musto, Roberta Pacino, and the late Ángel Salazar—yep, the iconic 'Chi Chi' from the original 'Scarface,' Al Pacino's right-hand man. Release is slated for around April, so if Rourke bites, it's a super last-minute dash to the set.
This comes hot on the heels of reports that Rourke's allegedly $59,100 behind on rent, prompting a friend to launch a GoFundMe aiming for $100K to stave off eviction. Talk about a plot twist no one saw coming. Is this cameo the comeback we need, or just another Hollywood hustle? Spill your thoughts, darlings.
