Mickey Rourke shows off toned torso in plunging V-neck sweater as he hangs with pals
He had a career as a professional fighter before playing one in The Wrestler.
And Mickey Rourke still boasts a toned figure at 65, draping his taut torso in an olive green sweater as he spent time with pals in Beverly Hills.
The Schenectady-born Oscar nominee's top featured a V-neck that plunged low enough to offer a glimpse of his chest tattoos.

Mickey slipped into a fitted pair of artfully faded jeans, clasping on a gleaming watch and rounding off the look with camouflage wingtips and black shades.
He was seen sitting by the sidewalk near a planter and chatting with a trio of male pals, two of whom sat beside him and one of whom stood nearby.

Mickey will be featuring as a member of the Neo-Nazi prison gang the Aryan Brotherhood in an upcoming movie Night Walk.
His co-star Sean Stone, son of Oliver, explained to DailyMail.com: 'It's a story of star-crossed lovers, two people from different cultures, a white guy from the States and a woman from the Middle East and the love story turns into a nightmare when my character is wrongfully convicted of killing her while traveling to her homeland.'

Said he: 'It's got elements of wrongful conviction and my experience in prison as I basically go from hatred to self-discovery, finding faith and spiritual awakening.'
The rising actor went on: 'Mickey plays the tough guy, an Aryan brother who I encounter on my first day in prison. He intimidates my character and I have to decide whether to join his gang to protect me or join a Muslim gang.'
Written, directed by and co-starring Aziz Tazi, the movie also features Julia Roberts' brother Eric and is due for release next year.
Mickey's amateur fighting career stretched from when he was 12 years old until his early 20s, during which time he racked up 27 wins and only three losses.

The 1970s and 1980s saw the ascent of his acting career, a highlight being his smoldering 1986 star turn opposite Kim Basinger in 9 1/2 Weeks.
Yet he recalled to the Daily Mail in 2009: 'I stupidly said acting wasn't a job for a real man. I threatened producers, raged at directors, forgot my agent's name. I really burned my bridges. And a lot of people have long memories.'
In the 1990s he veered into professional boxing, but despite his success in the ring, he sustained serious facial injuries and sought surgical help.

'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,' he confessed to the Mail.
Mickey went on to earn an Oscar nomination for playing a grappler in the 2008 film The Wrestler, though the trophy wound up going to Sean Penn for Milk.
He has two ex-wives - model Carré Otis and actress Debra Feuer - and since 2009 has dated Russian model Anastassija Makarenko, who is over 30 years his junior.
