Mickey Rourke seen with a new blonde hairpiece as he lunches with pal Kris Kristofferson

I feel like the true story of Mickey Rourke is one sad tale.

Meanwhile, Kris Kristofferson is out lunching at 86 and looking pretty damn good.

I thought it was Chloe Grace Moretz at first!

The most shocking person in that photo is Kris Kristofferson. He seems to be half the height and weight he used to be. Sure, he looks like a well kept old man but literally half the man he used to be.

Kris looks like Walter Brennan.

That thing on Rourke's head looks like that last 12" of a horse's tail. Kristofferson's bottom lip appears to have consumed his upper lip.

I lost my hair by my late teens in the late 80’s. It was devastating, but my baldness as well as my insecurity about thinning hair probably saved me from getting HIV, because I would’ve been much more promiscuous with a head full of hair!

One day in my 20’s, a friend and I were playing drag, but he had the idea of putting a shorter blonde shag wig and bandanna on me, and i had stubble and went out to the clubs strutting around with it as a half joke, half serious. I looked completely different, and suddenly was the center of attention and unclockable. It was amazing and very addictive. I went out and spent money on a really good one, wore hats for about eight months to disguise my scalp, then suddenly appeared with a head full of blonde, highlighted hair. I wore a beach’s, surfer boy cut to my eyebrow for over a decade, and appeared to be 20 rather than 30. It was like I got a “do over”. I didn’t fool everyone, but also most anyone ( I was good looking).

But knew I didn’t want to look like an old guy wearing one. This is why I gave up wearing a hairpiece when I turned 40.

I had some really nice ones over the years that looked like they were growing right out of my scalp. There is a certain level of finesse and suspension of belief you need to have if you wear hair, but you’re NEVER going to fool everyone all of the time- even if you spend thousands on them. Mine were so good I fooled a roomful of hairdressers once. (I am a hairdresser).

The trick is a really good haircut, knowing how to pull and reset the hairline when washing and styling, and regular maintenance by a stylist well trained in cutting and styling wigs. I once had a stylist completely destroy a brand new hairpiece because she cut too close and you could see the line around the edge.

Look at where that pelt attaches to MR’s forehead - what is that? Glue?

R7 it’s because many people will put the wig on tight to remove wrinkles from the hairline! But the problem is it will start slipping If you sweat-

what you’re saying is the wig riding back off his hairline.

The trick to looking younger is hanging out with older people!

He reminds me of Caveman Lawyer.

He is one tasty piece of man ass!

He was so fucking hot and his macho but lame-ass boxing "career" plus the surgery afterwards fucked it all up.

He was brilliant in The Wrestler.

They both look 👀 WEIRD

KK looks like he’s had a ton plastic surgery too

Getting old is hell.

Lacefront hunty yassss

Mickey to hair stylist:

Give me The Rachel!

[quote]and appeared to be 20 rather than 30.

Sure, Jan.

I disagree with the majority of your comments children.

1. I think Mickey looks okay for his age despite his adventures in cosmetic surgery to correct his boxing injuries. He's always been a rather shall we say alternative person. What happened to that film project he was supposed to make on the gay soccer player? Anyways I would probably hit that.

2. Now in regards to Kris, amazed he is still ambulatory and can get out on his own being 80 plus years old. He looks damn good and healthy for an 80 year old. I would likely not hit that I would be scared of some sort of sudden cardiac event happening and frankly out of respect.

We should all be so lucky in our advanced years.

I want a night out on the town with both of them.

No sex. Just lots of drinking.

I want Mickey to bring one of his chihuahuas.

Dude looks like a lady

Mickey Rourke used to be so damn sexy forty years ago. Booze and drugs have made him make some wrong decisions.

Kris Kristofferson looks like a marionette.

It's hard to believe Mickey was once a babe. He should sue the surgeon who fucked up his face. Seriously.

[quote]It's hard to believe Mickey was once a babe

Not really. Even without the surgery, decades go by and people just get old. You cant stay hot forever

One would think he was actually wash the thing before he put it on.

r1Sad in what way?

He looka likea woman.

Mickey has looked freaky for most of my life. I dimly recollect the first wave of He used to be hotttttt! 😩.

By now it’s just how he looks and I’m used to it, for him.

He looks better than Bitch I’m Madonna.

He looks like Marjorie Taylor Greene.

^^Only not as masculine.

He looks like a messy old lady. So strange: body dysmorphia.

Kristofferson, like Paul Newman, somehow stayed rail thin throughout the boozing years and also after he stopped. I doff my hat.

Kristofferson has pickled himself from all that alcohol he consumed over the years.

Mickey Rourke not only looks like a different person than his young self, he looks like a different person than the one who was nominated for an Oscar in 2006.

I mean 2009, for The Wrestler.

R6, interesting history of wearing hairpieces.

Are you talking about a lace-front wig, here?

Does he look like an old lesbian?

[quote] The actor, 70, showed off his new blonde locks as he departed the swanky hotel alongside his singer pal, 86.

"New blonde locks," per Daily Mail.

Rourke's body still looks pretty muscular. His "hair" and face are another story.

Kristofferson looks good for his age, 86. Ambulatory, full head of hair, able to have lunch with a friend.

Shouldn't it be "new blond locks" since he's a guy?

Oh, [italic]dear,[/italic] Daily Mail.

Such a ruin he is. Remember when he was a sex symbol? He was quite something back in the day, good looking, sexy, talented. And now he's a total wreck. What a shame.

I'm glad he's calling out all the Marvel shit & Mission Impossible.

Mickey and Madonna would make a great couple!

Kris Kristofferson was sexy as fuck back in the day. Gorgeous! But he's been a craggy old bag of bones for nearly 30 years.

Jocelyn Wildenstein realness. Even the wigs.

Wow. Time is a motherfucker.

Mickey had a really fucked up childhood, brutal step dad. I always wondered if he had been a victim of sexual abuse as well. He really went way out there after his early successes. A history of crazy relationships, substance abuse. Then the whole boxing insanity resulting in efforts to repair damage with plastic surgery. That face is a hate crime- self hate.

He really was a great actor . Now a total wreck, and with that face, what sort of roles could he attract?

Good for him enjoying his life. I know he’s icky now but I love seeing him and his tiny dog

[quote]I don’t care about money and power, I care about when I watch Al Pacino work and Chris Walken and De Niro’s early work

"De Niro's *early* work"! Ouch.

Now we know what Marjorie Taylor Greene is going to look like when she hits 70.

r40, he WAS part of that Marvel shit, in the Iron Man series.

I always want to hear about why Kim Basinger refers to him even still as "The Human Ashtray."

Is it because he smoked all the time and smelled like ciggies, or did he enjoy having lit cigarettes put out on his skin like James Dean supposedly did?

Scrolling down, Al Pacino is FAT!

The worst sin of Hollywood. Ewww.

[quote] I always want to hear about why Kim Basinger refers to him even still as "The Human Ashtray."

Probably because he constantly smokes.

[quote]...I had some really nice ones over the years that looked like they were growing right out of my scalp.

Yeah, that's the ticket!

Mickey would be perfect to play Marjorie Taylor Greene in biopic.

She wishes r48

R53, like I said, I went bald when I hit my early 20’s and went through years of torment over it before being bald was acceptable.

I worked on set, made and sold hairpieces, one to 6 months to make. The trick is they razor cut the entire piece so it blends in with the sides. There are specific styles, color, and the wigs actually look better after a few months because the expensive ones are hand tied strand by strand. They shed, revealing scalp at the part. It works really well if the hair is colored darker at the root, I looked beach blonde with a dark root. The base is thin and sheer netting, color matching your scalp so it’s invisible. The most expensive ones are as thin as a contact lens. Silicone and polyurethane injected are custom sized and fit like a glove, using strong adhesive.

The key to looking undetectable is keeping the color, liveliness and luster of the hair and getting regular service. They really only last about 9 months before swapping them out for another.

It truly is an art form, here’s some fascinating background-

r56 Thanks for the linked video.

Why is it aging male celebs all want to look like grizzled bikers?

Scary, no Halloween costume needed.

I think it’s the ones that are straight who go for that look. Perhaps.

I am longtime acquaintances with a guy who drank a lot and is now in his early 60s who has the same face and his is plastic surgery free. It’s terrifying he did not look like that 20 years ago

Is that Val Kilmer?

I so wish Mickey Rourke had won the Oscar for "The Wrestler." It would have been the greatest comeback ever and I'm sure his acceptance speech would have been unforgettable.

He abused Carre Otis in the worst ways
