Mickey Rourke has officially lost his rented Los Angeles home.
Court documents obtained by Page Six on Tuesday show that Rourke’s former residence on Drexel Ave. is now back under the control of its landlord, Eric T. Goldie.
The judgement was filed on Monday in Los Angeles County Superior Court by default — meaning the “Celebrity Big Brother UK” alum likely failed to appear in defense of himself or respond to the complaint before a court deadline.
According to the complaint, the order was for “possession” of the residence — not for any damages. People was the first to report the news on Tuesday.
A rep for Rourke did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
In December, a court filing demanded Rourke vacate the home in three days or come up with $59,100 in back rent.
Rourke, 73, was later seen removing belongings from the house in January, with a U-Haul truck appearing in the driveway a day later. At the time, Page Six learned the “Iron Man 2” actor was staying in an upscale West Hollywood, Calif., hotel, with rooms starting at $550 a night.
Meanwhile, a GoFundMe was launched in Rourke’s name by Liya-Joelle Jones, attempting to raise $100,000 to keep him from the eviction.
The actor, however, vehemently denied involvement with the fundraiser. The “confused” and “frustrated” actor insisted in an Instagram video in January that he didn’t ask for “f–king charity” and insisted, “That’s not me, OK?”
While cradling a small dog, Rourke claimed he “wouldn’t know what a GoFund[Me] foundation is in a million years” and said he has “too much pride” to ask for help.
“If I needed money, I wouldn’t ask for no f–king charity,” he said. “I’d rather stick a gun up my ass and pull the trigger … My life is very simple, I wouldn’t go to outside sources like that.”
His manager, Kimberly Hines, told TMZ in January that despite an influx of job opportunities, Rourke has been holding out for A-list paychecks, and won’t work for less than $200,000 per day.
“He’s rich poor if that makes sense,” an insider told the Daily Mail of Rourke’s finances in January, noting that he had “lived the life of a rock star with plenty of drug and alcohol abuse over the years.”
“He has outlets to make substantial amounts of money by doing films and reality shows, but he spends it so fast that he is at square one right around the time that he starts making money,” they claimed.
