12 Actors Who Slammed Their Own Movie Before Release
4. Mickey Rourke - Passion Play
Mickey Rourke is a great actor with a bad habit of self destructing, and he did so with gusto after getting back in the public eye with The Wrestler and Iron Man 2.The main culprit was Passion Play, a terrible drama co-starring Bill Murray and Megan Fox. Rourke appeared keen while shooting it, but when asked about it during a boozy night out he was much more forthcoming.
After he proclaimed another movie he made with 50 Cent and Jason Statham called 13 was “really bad” and that he made it for the money, he went on to say Passion Play was “terrible”. He also said that was the reason it was receiving a limited release in America.
He later apologised for his statements, before going on to repeat that the film was !*$% whenever he was asked about it.
