Rourke makes racy BAFTA speech

Mickey Rourke's acceptance speech for his Best Actor BAFTA reportedly raised a few eyebrows at Sunday's awards ceremony.

Rourke credited The Wrestler director Darren Aronofsky for rescuing his reputation by giving him the role of Randy 'The Ram' Robinson.

Rourke said: "Darren Aronofsky gave me a second chance after I f**ked up my career for 15 years.

"I want to thank my publicist Paula for having the hardest job in showbiz - telling me where to go, what to do, when to do it. What to eat, what to dress, what to f**k. It's such a pleasure to be here and back out of the darkness.

"Marisa Tomei for putting up with me - she's a hell of a talent and was very brave for taking her clothes off all the time. I enjoyed looking at her!"

Rourke dedicated the win to the late actor and his "great friend" Richard Harris, who died of cancer in 2002.
