Mickey Rourke, the actor known for his roles in films like 'The Wrestler' and 'Sin City,' has declined $100,000 in donations after being evicted from his home.

According to court documents, Rourke's landlord claimed that the actor owed nearly $60,000 in rent. Rourke, however, stated that he had stopped paying rent after the home became uninhabitable.

The eviction has sparked a GoFundMe campaign, which has raised over $100,000 to help Rourke with his living expenses. However, Rourke has declined the donations, citing his desire to maintain his independence.

Rourke's eviction has raised concerns about the actor's well-being and the living conditions in his home. The incident has also sparked a debate about the treatment of tenants in the entertainment industry.

Rourke's representatives have not commented on the matter, but the actor's decision to decline the donations has been met with mixed reactions from fans and industry professionals.

The eviction and subsequent GoFundMe campaign have highlighted the complexities of the entertainment industry and the challenges faced by actors and other creatives.
