Former wrestler and actor Mickey Rourke is about to be evicted from his home and is crowdfunding to keep from being homeless. Rourke was given a three day notice to either pay up his back rent or leave the rented property in Los Angeles on December 18. He didn’t do either and has now given friend Liya-Joelle Jones permission to start a GoFundMe with a fundraising goal of $100-thousand. The GoFundMe description says “Life doesn’t always move in a straight line, and despite everything Mickey has given through his work and his life, he is now dealing with a challenging financial moment that has put his housing at risk.” Last week, “TMZ” snapped pics of Rourk looking pale and frail as he took a grocery delivery from his front door into his home. The campaign has raised just over half of the goal.
