Wrestling for comment from Mickey Rourke

Updated 14:35pm on 6 Jan 2009


Mickey Rourke threatened to walk away from the red carpet of his premiere last night when confronted about comments he allegedly made against Sean Penn.

Red carpet guests: Yasmin Le Bon and Mickey Rourke

A report surfaced last week that claimed he'd called Penn a "homophobe" and an "average" actor. Rourke, 52, was at the premiere of his new movie The Wrestler in Leicester Square last night - but warned he'd walk away when asked about the insults. When asked who he would most like to wrestle, he answered: "Some beautiful women." Ha ha! Geddit?

On show: Jason Statham and Simon Le Bon

Meanwhile, fellow actor Jason Statham refused to speak on the red carpet, claiming he didn't want to steal Mickey's limelight.
