Mickey Rourke – The Wrestler

Before moving to the silver screen, Mickey Rourke began his professional career in the boxing ring. However, the combination of both worlds in “The Wrestler” earned him a Best Actor Oscar nomination.

When he was a teenager, he began boxing and was utterly devoted to the sport, but after participating in a production of the play “Deathwatch,” he discovered his passion for acting and decided to give it a try. That set off the cycle of switching between the two worlds, which continued until Rourke eventually gave up boxing. He was successful in both of his careers and is still alive and well now.
