Now that’s butch. Mickey Rourke stopped by a Russian jail before the Moscow premiere of The Wrestler today to do some research for Iron Man 2. In the 2010 movie, Rourke will play the Russian villian Whiplash alongside Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow. Hopefully, she’ll be the one in the tight jumpsuit.
So yeah, this wasn’t just another goofball photo op for Mickey. This was research! The kind that gets you Academy Award nominations. Watch and learn.

i swear, if not for the scarring, Mickey Roarke would look exactly like Kiefer Sutherland right now
