Really Mickey? Why?


How sad Mickey... I keep waiting for him to rip off the plastic and putty face and laugh at the joke but it's not happening.
Who ever talked him into the plastic surgery should be beaten with a lead filled hose. He's destroyed his face. The wig is as bad as Trumps comb over! He could have aged so well, and still been a tough guy, but now he looks like a Caitlyn Jenner wanna be...
This must be the result of really bad advise.

I think he's addicted to it, because he keeps getting surgeries.

I wish he would've quit when he made his comeback with the wrestler and let his face relax a little but he looks so much worse now, he just looks like a completely different and scary person.

It is sad. He was kind of an icon for the "tough guy" role. I really don't get why he'd do that to himself. There's nothing wrong with growing old, it happens to everyone pretending it isn't happening with Botox isn't fooling anyone... I hope he just retires, maybe charity work?

I am not a psychologist but I think the reason he did the plastic surgery lies in his childhood. I saw some interviews where he talks about it and it seems traumatizing.

I rewatched The Pledge recently. He looked so normal in that movie and how he should have for his age then. But now he looks freakish.

I think older ppl over like 50 who get plastic surgery are a tad pathetic. Nobody at those and older ages is going back to high school anytime soon, so why not just embrace your age and let it happen. I have never had any, but I can understand ppl like 30 or 40 who may look fairly young still wanting to "hedge the bets" a bit but after a point surgery literally never makes a difference for the better worth the risk it takes, and often times as we have seen with countless celebs, it makes things laughably worse. (Nightmare level perma-duckface anyone?)

Jesus when you switch back and forth from his first picture #282 from "Johnny Handsome"(the irony) and his most recent #1 with the purple wig and that shirt, it makes me flinch backwards each time. I really respected the guy through the years, but I just can't do it anymore, it's a horror show. He needs to retire from the spotlight and buy a mirrorless house. It is what it is.

I think he talked himself into them all. So you have to take the lead pipe to Micky..probably would improve his looks.

Yeah, well it's easy to say things like that when you're still a young, clueless punk. Do you think all these plastic surgery celebs planned on getting work done in their later years when they were younger? Nope! Walk a mile in their shoes, then shut up. Damn, your generation is lame and uninspiring.
