Mickey Rourke shocks GMB viewers with 'unrecognisable' face during awkward interview

Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke shocked Good Morning Britain viewers with his appearance on the programme as fans struggled to recognise him.

The 66-year-old spoke to hosts Susanna Reid and Piers Morgan via videolink with one of his tiny dogs on his lap.

Showing off his tatts in an ill-fitting black shirt unbuttoned at the waist, Piers and Susanna struggled to get anything out of him.

But viewers could not believe how different his face looked like, prompting fans to flock to Twitter in confusion.
