Eccentric Mickey Rourke sports a questionable grey hairpiece as he attends annual kickboxing contest in Saint Tropez
His features have radically changed in the decades following a triumphant spell as one of Hollywood’s most desirable young actors, but Mickey Rourke’s cosmetically enhanced face appeared to be overshadowed on Thursday evening.
The veteran actor was making a well-received appearance at annual kickboxing contest Fight Night Saint Tropez in the South of France, where he was on hand to watch top-10 ranked welterweight Yohan Lidon take on former WLF champion Danijel Solaja.
But while a devastating kick to the head saw Lidon triumph, Rourke’s iron grey hairpiece proved to be a humourous distraction as he cheered the unequivocal victor on at the French city’s La Citadelle de St Tropez.

Featuring two metallic shades of grey and casually swept into a bizarre bouffant, the wig ensured its owner cut a rather eccentric figure during his special guest appearance at the event.
An unnatural, disjointed hairline accentuated the already peculiar look as a spirited Rourke - himself a former boxer - downed bottles of beer with fellow spectators.
The 63-year old later made his way into the ring, where he offered jubilant victor Lidon a congratulatory kiss on the cheek.

Ever the eccentric, Rourke once again showed off his unique sense of style in a fitted leather waistcoat, ripped jeans and a pair of distinctive steel toe-capped cowboy boots.
In 2009 the actor talked about having reconstructive surgery on his face, telling the MailOnline: 'Most of it was to mend the mess of my face because of the boxing, but I went to the wrong guy to put my face back together.
'I had my nose broken twice. I had five operations on my nose and one on a smashed cheekbone.'

Mickey's Hollywood career reached its peak in 1986 when he won the leading male role in the erotic drama 9 1/2 Weeks opposite Kim Basinger.
But the lead roles faded away as he dipped in and out of the movie business and boxing until he got a second shot at a meaty part with Sin City in 2005, a role he has reprised for the sequel with Jessica Alba due out this summer.
He was subsequently Oscar nominated for best actor for his role in The Wrestler.
