Mickey Rourke’s Financial Troubles Deepen As Unaffordable Surgery Approaches

Mickey Rourke is facing even more financial struggles, as his dog, Ivan, now reportedly needs surgery that could cost the actor a substantial sum.

Rourke has been a steady presence in the headlines over the last few weeks, after reports that he was facing eviction from his Hollywood home went viral.

Following the report, fans rallied to raise over $100,000 for Mickey Rourke, who rejected the six-figure donation in a scathing online video, calling the move "embarrassing" and "humiliating."

According to The Blast, Rourke's landlord, Eric Goldie, served the actor with paperwork in December 2025. Legal documents revealed that Rourke began renting the California property in March 2025 for $5,200 per month; however, the rent increased to $7,000 months later.

The news of Rourke's financial struggles struck a chord with fans, who rallied together to donate to the "Celebrity Big Brother" contestant's GoFundMe, created by his management team.

"This fundraiser is being created with Mickey’s full permission to help cover immediate housing-related expenses and prevent that from happening," the campaign's description read. "Mickey Rourke is an icon—but his trajectory, as painful as it is, is also a deeply human one. It is the story of someone who gave everything to his work, took real risks, and paid real costs."
