The actor won best Lead Actor for his role in The Wrestler, and drew gasps form the crowd as his acceptance speech turned in to a steady stream of F-words.
He beat Sean Penn, Dev Patel, Frank Langella and Brad Pitt to best Lead actor.
Mickey name-checked his co star Marisa Tomei, thanking her ‘for putting up with me. She is a hell of a talent. It was very brave of her to take her clothes off all the time. I enjoyed looking at her’.
Jonathan Ross followed Mickey’s rock’n'roll style speech with a joke in reference to his own ‘bad behaviour’; ‘The great Mickey Rourke. I’m afraid after that speech he is now suspended for three months.’ Mick Jagger, on stage to present an award, later added, ‘You see, you thought Jonathan was going to do all the ****ing and Mickey did it!’
