Mickey Rourke was seen checking into a West Hollywood, Calif., hotel with his dog on Sunday, January 4, weeks after it was reported the former '80s heartthrob was served with an eviction notice.

On the same day Rourke was photographed loading his belongings into a hotel room, a GoFundMe campaign was launched asking fans of the former actor for help so he can "stay in his home."

The fundraiser created by the assistant to Kimberly Hines, Rourke’s manager of nine years, said it was set up with his "full permission to help cover immediate housing-related expenses and prevent" his eviction.

A U-Haul truck was seen at Mickey Rourke's former rental home on Monday, January 5.

Per documents filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court in December 2025, the controversial actor-turned-wrestler, 73, was given a three-day notice to settle up his unpaid rent or be booted from the premises.

At the time, he allegedly owed $59,100 on the three-bedroom property, which he'd been renting since March for $5,200 per month.

The Angel Heart star seemingly came to some sort of agreement, as he was photographed at the Los Angeles residence on Thursday, January 1.

A GoFundMe campaign was launched on the former actor's behalf.

The GoFundMe set a goal of $100,000 and has already raised almost $84,000.

"Mickey Rourke is an icon — but his trajectory, as painful as it is, is also a deeply human one," the campaign read. "It is the story of someone who gave everything to his work, took real risks, and paid real costs. Fame does not protect against hardship, and talent does not guarantee stability."

Mickey Rourke was booted from 'Celebrity Big Brother U.K.' in April 2025.

Rourke's eviction situation comes less than a year after he was forced to leave the Celebrity Big Brother U.K. house after just six days due to "unacceptable" behavior.

Rourke made homophobic remarks directed at JoJo Siwa, 22, during his brief stint in April, dissing the singer's sexuality in one episode.

After declaring he would "vote the lesbian out real quick," he used the British slang term for a cigarette, stating, "I need a f--," before gesturing to Siwa and quipping, "I'm not talking to you."

He also brought Siwa to tears after telling her, "If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore."
