US<\/a> actor Mickey Rourke<\/a> was utterly unrecognisable with a new bald look as he reportedly faces eviction from his LA home.<\/p>\n

The Hollywood star, 73, stirred plenty of controversy during his short stint in Celebrity Big Brother<\/a> last spring, where he was eventually chucked out <\/a>after repeated warnings<\/a> for unacceptable language.<\/p>\n

The former boxer was spotted outside his home in Los Angeles<\/a> picking up a food delivery, where his previous blonde and brown locks had been traded in for a buzzcut in a total transformation.<\/p>\n

The screenstar, known for his leading roles in movies like 9\u00bd Weeks, The Pope of Greenwich Village and Rumble Fish, is allegedly facing potential eviction for failing to pay up to $60,000 worth of unpaid rent.<\/p>\n

Documents filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday reveal he received a three-day notice to pay rent or vacate the premises on December 18, which he didn\u2019t comply with, according to the Daily Mail.<\/a><\/p>\n

At the time of the eviction notice, Rourke reportedly owed $59,100 (\u00a343.9k), according to the complaint from plaintiff and property owner Eric T. Goldie.<\/p>\n

Goldie is reportedly requesting compensation for attorney\u2019s fees and damages. He is also asking for the \u2018forfeiture\u2019 of their rental agreement.<\/p>\n

As the filing outlines, according to People<\/a>, Rourke started leasing the property in March 2025 with the monthly rent starting at $5,200 (\u00a33.8k) before increasing to $7,000 (\u00a35.1k) a month.<\/p>\n

The three-bedroom house is located in central Los Angeles\u2019 Beverly Grove neighbourhood with a renowned history as the home of 20th-century\u00a0influential crime<\/a> novelist Raymond Chandler.<\/p>\n

As for the Oscar nominee, his time on Celebrity Big Brother made his episodes the ninth-most complained-about show<\/a> of the year, according to Ofcom<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He was slammed for his homophobic remarks<\/a> towards JoJo Siwa<\/a> and sexually inappropriate comments directed at\u00a0Ella Rae Wise<\/a> and threatening behaviour towards Chris Hughes.<\/p>\n

Apologising for his \u2018short fuse\u2019, he said at the time: \u2018I\u2019m sorry for that. I\u2019m actually ashamed of myself for getting that hot. I went over the line. I did wrong. I guess I could say I\u2019m a work in progress. I just want to pack my bags and leave.\u2019<\/p>\n

Despite the various controversies, the actor has had several movies come out in 2025, with more in the pipeline.<\/p>\n

Last year, he appeared in Devil\u2019s Play, action thriller Jade and the Roaring Game. Over the summer, it was also announced he would be starring in the indie thriller Mascots.<\/p>\n
