Rourke grapples with limelight
Oscar hopeful Mickey Rourke takes to the red carpet alone to promote his new film, The Wrestler.
The 52-year-old former boxer is tipped to go up against Sean Penn for the best actor award.
The Wrestler tells the story of former fighter Randy "The Ram" Robinson who earns a living performing for wrestling fans. A heart attack forces him into retirement, and he is torn between re-evaluating his personal life and getting back into wrestling.
Rumours have circulated of a clash with co-star Marisa Tomei, who did not attend the West End premiere. Rourke said working with her was "an experience". Questions about his reported conflict with Penn were banned.
