Mickey Rourke Evicted from LA Home Over $59K Rent

Mickey Rourke, who is well-known for his role in The Wrestler, has been kicked out of his Los Angeles rental because he didn’t pay his rent. This shocking turn of events shows that the 73-year-old Hollywood veteran is having money problems.

On March 9, 2026, a Los Angeles County Superior Court issued a default judgment that gave landlord Eric T. Goldie the three-bedroom bungalow on Drexel Avenue in Beverly Grove. Rourke was said to owe $59,100 in back rent, with monthly payments going up from $5,200 to $7,000. Rourke’s rental agreement ended when he didn’t respond or show up in court.

The fight started in late 2025 when Rourke got a three-day notice to pay or leave on December 18. Fans raised more than $100,000 through a GoFundMe campaign, but Rourke and his team turned down the money, which caused delays and refunds. Rourke hasn’t said anything in public about the whole thing.

Rourke’s comeback story has hit a bump in the road after he won a Golden Globe for his role in The Wrestler and was nominated for an Oscar for the same role. Fans are worried about his health after hearing about the eviction.
