Mickey Rourke is making sure to act professionally on set … telling us his hotel room trashing days are behind him.
We caught up with the actor at LAX on Saturday … and, he told us he’s happy to be working again — and, he’s on his best behavior.
Rourke admits he wasn’t acting correctly over the last couple decades — he even says his psychiatrist once told him he didn’t know how to take accountability for anything … something he says he’s trying to work on.
The veteran actor also cites a priest who has helped him reflect on his past … and, he adds he’s just so grateful to be in the position he is now.
As for the best movie of his career … Rourke says he hasn’t made it yet — which is pretty shocking given the dude has Golden Globe on his shelf!
Remember … Mickey was facing eviction after apparently owing nearly $60K in unpaid rent. He claims he stopped paying rent because of a rodent infestation.
We recently published photos of him back on set of the new movie “Sol Hershowitz’s Guide to Extraterrestrial Life” … in which he’s one of the leads.
As for the plan moving forward … Rourke says it’s simple — time to kick some ass!!!
