Mickey Rourke asks ex Russian boxer to marry him

Washington, Mar 27 (ANI): Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke, it seems, is ready to get married for the second time.

Former Russian boxer and popstar Irson Kudikova has revealed that Rourke propositioned her during a recent trip to the former Soviet Union - where he's researching his villain role for the Iron Man sequel.

"He told me, 'You're a fantastic woman. I want to marry you,'" Contactmusic quoted Kudikova as telling America's Globe publication.

Kudikova also admitted that she spent a lot of time with Rourke as he toured through Moscow.

The 56-year-old actor visited Butyrka prison in Moscow to research for his Whiplash role, met guards there, and even asked them to lock him up for a brief moment. (ANI)
