Rourke set for gay ol’ time in new film

MICKEY ROURKE has landed a new movie role based on the true story of gay rugby player Gareth Thomas, the actor has confirmed.

Rourke met up with Welsh sports ace Gareth Thomas over the summer, prompting rumours the pair were set to bring the athlete’s tale to the big screen — and the gossip is true, report industry insiders.

“I read the story, it’s one of the toughest, hardest sports,” Rourke told UK chat show host Alan Carr over the weekend.
