Stand back, you out-of-shape frail actor types – Mickey Rourke doesn't just play a tough guy in The Wrestler, he plans on getting back in the ring for real!

The Golden Globe winner tells Extra he “almost didn’t do the film. But things worked out.” And now that he got himself in shape for the silver screen, the wrestling king has come calling!

“Now, Vince McMahon wants me to do Wrestle Mania in Houston. Chris Jericho, I'm coming after your a**," he jokes. "You better get yourself in shape brother... I'm going to do it!”
