Mickey Rourke’s shoe suitcase

Bafta winner Mickey Rourke was spotted with a suitcase full of shoes when catching a recent flight.

Mickey Rourke surprised staff at Heathrow airport recently by turning up for New York bound flight with a suitcase filled with shoes a source has told the Sunday Mirror. The Bafta winner was flying first class but was forced to repack as his case of footwear was 4kg over the maximum weight limit. "It was really weird and extraordinary to watch," an insider revealed. "Five-and-a-half stone - 36kg - of shoes is one heck of a lot of shoes, especially for a bloke. Staff thought at first he must have had his BAFTA in the case. It was freezing cold but he had no socks on and a pair of blue slip-ons with very low heels. And it turned out that he had about 40 pairs of shoes very similar to the ones he was wearing in the case. It's the sort of thing you'd expect of Victoria Beckham, but not of a tough guy like Mickey Rourke."
