Hollywood bad boy Mickey Rourke is down for the count — and this time, it’s not in the ring.
The Oscar-nominated actor and former professional boxer is facing eviction from a Los Angeles home after allegedly racking up nearly $60,000 in unpaid rent, according to court records.
Rourke, 73, was served with a three-day notice to pay rent or vacate by Dec. 18 after failing to make monthly payments on a Beverly Grove rental where the rent had climbed to $7,000 a month, filings show.
At the time the notice was issued, Rourke allegedly owed $59,100. His financial situation is unclear.
Court documents state the notice was posted on the property and mailed because “no person of suitable age or discretion” could be found at the home.
The three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath property is described in a Zillow listing as a “nicely upgraded Spanish bungalow” built in 1926.
A representative for Rourke did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.
The back-rent debacle marks another turbulent chapter for Rourke, whose career has been defined by spectacular highs and equally dramatic crashes.
After breaking out in the early 1980s with roles in “Heaven’s Gate,” “Body Heat, and “Diner,” Rourke became one of Hollywood’s most intense leading men with films like “9½ Weeks,” “Angel Heart,” “Barfly,” and “The Pope of Greenwich Village.”
He famously walked away from acting in the early ’90s to pursue professional boxing — a brutal detour that left him battered but officially undefeated.
Rourke later clawed his way back into Hollywood, culminating in his acclaimed performance as a washed-up wrestler in “The Wrestler,” which earned him a Golden Globe and an an Academy Award nomination.
