Mickey Rourke is facing eviction from a bungalow in Los Angeles after he failed to pay nearly $60,000 in rent, according to a lawsuit filed on Monday.
Rourke, whose real name is Philip Andre Rourke Jr, rented the property earlier this year, agreeing to pay $5,200 a month, which later went up to $7,000 a month, according to the complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court and obtained by Fox News Digital.
The three-bedroom home, built in 1926, is nearby the LA County Museum of Art and the Los Angeles Farmer’s Market.
Rourke received a notice from his landlord on Dec. 18 to pay rent – of which he owes $59,100 in back rent — or vacate the property.
The plaintiff, landlord Eric Goldie, is asking for compensation for damages and attorney fees.
Fox News Digital has reached out to reps for Rourke for comment.
Rourke rented the property around the same time he agreed to leave "Celebrity Big Brother UK" earlier this year following a warning from producers over conduct they deemed inappropriate on the show, which included remarks about fellow contestant JoJo Siwa’s sexuality.
Rourke, a former professional boxer, is known for films like 1986’s erotic romance "9 ½ Weeks," 2005’s "Sin City" and 2008’s "The Wrestler," for which he was nominated for an Oscar.
