Mickey Rourke Dating Young Model?

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 10th 2009 10:01AM

Mickey Rourke's revival into the mainstream with flicks like 'The Wrestler' seems to be having positive effects on his love life as well, as the 55-year-old actor he stepped out with a beautiful blonde model half his age. Elena, 24, accompanied the 55-year-old actor to the GQ International Man Of The Year-- where Rourke celebrated his new-found title.

And this isn't just a fling, sources told UK's Daily Mail, "Mickey looked as though he was really into her. She was slim and pretty and he couldn't take his hands off her."

The two have been on a few dates together, including a late-night date the previous at Mayfair club Mahiki.

But are the feeling mutual? Sources who attended the event said, "It seemed as though he was more into her - because when he leaned forward, as if wanting to kiss her, she pulled back."

"Mickey laughed it off, but by the end of the night his charm was obviously working as she looked much more into him."

When asked her how she felt about Rourke's advances, Elena revealed: "We're just friends, I've known him for a long time."

I got me a young Russian girlfriend too from the internet.... I am 62 and she is 27...Ilove this country

By John Peters

This is a man who could have been the greatest American actor since the early days of Marlon Brando !!!!!!! I watched his earliest ventures, and he was absolutely amazing on the big screen !! He had it all !!! Now he is a washed up hasbeen full of botox, dope & drugs...He spent way to much time away from the limelight .... Oh Mickey, what have you done to yourself ?????????

By Tabby

If that....Mr. Rourke leaned towards me as if he were going to kiss
me...I'd be more than pulling or leaning back. I would be telling
him to keep the heck away from me.

I have never considered Rourke an actor. He has very little talent. The only movie I actually ever
attended a theater to see was Nine Weeks and even then I was a guest
(date), otherwise I would not have been there. AFTER seeing that
movie, I was more convinced than ever he couldn't act. I didn't think he could act then
and didn't care if he 'made it in the business' or not. As fas as I
was concerned, I hoped he would just fade into the background... kind of like
'one hit wonders'. Saw the news over the years of his lifestyle and
liked him even less. I have no intention of spedning my hard earned movie on his most recent movie. He's had so much plastic surgery he is
beginning to look like a distorted version or characature of a human being.

To date him or be near him??????? NO WAY ! He's ugly, crude, and
from what I've observed nothing more than a crass, rude, crude
individual. Oh, did I mention I still think he has no talent?

Does this girl think he is going to get her publicity? Is that whay
she's 'dating' him? ADVICE TO HER: GO FIND SOMEONE ELSE ....QUICKLY! Do she REALLY want publicity THAT bad?

She belongs on "Dancing with the Stars", not "American Idol"

mickey had a great early career as his old handsome self in acting. he could have gone on aging gracefully as a stereotypically handsome guy. instead, he had the courage to follow his heart and take up boxing which MUST have meant ALOT to him, tho his head took a severe beating. he retired when he'd had enough. if he was more vain, he wouldn't have risked getting a cauliflower head instead of his early, pretty one. he's showing now that talent in acting trumps being a pretty boy. there are girls who adore an older and experienced man and these girls are obviously not superficial in the "looks" department. their relationship may not last for very long, but i bet they're happy at the moment. kudos to both of them. - bobby cormier

Bruce, May be its better to refrain from stereotyping, I'm pretty sure everycountry has got its share of golddiggers, both female & male. Her full name is Elena Kuletskaya, and she is currently engaged toDima Bilan (winner of 2 Eurovision contests and one of the mostpopular pop singers in Russia). Now, this guy is talented, young, hot(though not my type) and WAY more loaded than MR, so what on Earthis she doing with this leather bag?...

Just looking at him makes me want to wipe down with alcohol swabs. He just looks plain old nasty. And he was such a hottie. Shame.

That girl is Elena Kuletskaya, and she has a boyfriend from Russia. Her boyfriend is the most famous pop singer in Russia - Dima Bilan (he is the winner of Eurovision song contest 2008). They are together for about 4 years, and they are going to marry very soon. So, she isn't in a relationsheep with Mickey. They are just a good friends:))
