Mickey Rourke<\/a> has definitely hit a rough stretch — but a film director tells TMZ he’s stepping up … dangling a “Scarface” spin-off role to help the actor get back on his feet and earn some cash.<\/p>\n

Director Eric Spade Rivas tells TMZ he saw the reports about Mickey struggling<\/a> — and wants to help by offering the actor a $1,000 cameo in his upcoming flick “Scarface Resurrection” … just one scene, about two minutes long, quick in-and-out.<\/p>\n

For context — Mickey signed on to Eric’s indie flick called “The Duke of New York” for $5K back in 2020 \u2026 then ultimately bailed. But Eric tells us there\u2019s no bad blood — he actually feels bad about how things went down and wants to make things right this time around.<\/p>\n

Eric admits Mickey deserves way more — but says $1K is the best he can swing as a small indie filmmaker. He also tells TMZ he\u2019s already winding down editing on the movie, which stars Michael Musto, Roberta Pacino, and late actor \u00c1ngel Salazar — famously Al Pacino<\/a>\u2019s right-hand man “Chi Chi” in “Scarface.”<\/p>\n

The plan is to drop the film around April\u2026 meaning if Mickey takes the offer, the cameo would be very last-minute.<\/p>\n

As we reported … Mickey is allegedly $59,100 behind on rent<\/a> and recently let a friend launch a GoFundMe in his name, aiming to raise $100K to help him dodge eviction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mickey Rourke has definitely hit a rough stretch — but a film director tells TMZ he’s stepping up…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":390177,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,88],"class_list":{"0":"post-390176","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/390176","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=390176"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/390176\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/390177"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=390176"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=390176"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=390176"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
