Rourke, who has been nominated for an Oscar for his role in The Wrestler, is thinking about entering a World Wrestling Entertainment event on April 5 in Houston.
The 52-year-old actor told E! News, "The nicest thing has been the whole wrestling community embracing us. The movie was about their world and so I think maybe I’m gonna do Wrestlemania in Houston."
To prepare for his role in The Wrestler, Rourke studied wrestling for a long time, but will it be enough for him to go into the real ring?
