Mickey Rourke is reportedly living \u201cpaycheck-to-paycheck\u201d as he faces eviction from his Los Angeles home<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cMickey has lived the life of a rock star with plenty of drug and\u00a0alcohol\u00a0abuse over the years,\u201d an insider told the Daily Mail<\/a> Sunday. <\/p>\n

\u201cSo, to see him worse for wear in recent pictures without the benefit of Hollywood movie magic, we shouldn\u2019t be surprised that he looks nothing like he used to,\u201d the source added.<\/p>\n

\u201cMickey has lived the life of a rock star with plenty of drug and\u00a0alcohol\u00a0abuse over the years,\u201d an insider told the Daily Mail Sunday. @mickey_rourke_\/Instagram<\/p>\n

The insider told the outlet that the \u201cWrestler\u201d star\u2019s finances were not in a good place.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to his finances, the movies he has been doing don\u2019t pay that much for the life he is used to, it\u2019s almost a paycheck-to-paycheck type deal, where if he was more protective of his finances, he\u2019d be OK,\u201d the source claimed.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s rich poor if that makes sense. He has outlets to make substantial amounts of money by doing films and reality shows, but he spends it so fast that he is at square one right around the time that he starts making money,\u201d the insider told Daily Mail.<\/p>\n

Page Six has reached out to Rourke\u2019s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.<\/p>\n

Last month, court records obtained by The Post showed that the Oscar-nominated actor is facing eviction after allegedly racking up nearly $60,000 in unpaid rent.<\/p>\n
