Episode 5 of 8
Duration: 30 minutes
Piers Morgan explores the downside of fame, talking to former Hollywood hot shot Mickey Rourke about his fall from grace and subsequent return to acting.
Having generated more adverse press than box office revenue, Rourke burned his bridges with every major studio and found himself swapping the red carpet for the boxing ring, where the blows took their toll on his once-famous looks. Mickey talks to Piers about his love life and chillingly reveals how, when he was at his lowest, he came close to committing suicide.
