MICKEY Rourke returned to the ring and revealed the full extent of his recent transformation - proving he's braver than ever as he stripped to just some tiny white shorts.
The 64-year-old retired boxer and actor worked up a sweat as he hit a gruelling workout regime at Wild Card Boxing - before slamming new US President Donald Trump.
Stopping for a break halfway through, Mickey held up his pet Pomeranian and held his first up triumphantly, showing off his extensive tattoos.
He appeared to toss his "F*** Trump" t-shirt aside at one point, before spitting on it as part of the shock shoot.
With long straggly dark hair covering his eyes, the star looked a world away from his former appearance.
With huge biceps and a six-pack, he has kept his body in shape however - appearing to be in his element back in the ring.
With a young helper on hand, Mickey then showed off some of his moves and punches with a bandanna to keep his hair in check.
The Wrestler star is rarely seen without his beloved pooch these days, and it seems they even workout together.
Mickey began his career as a boxer before stepping away from the ring to launch an acting career in the 1970s.
However, he had to wait until the eighties to become the Hollywood heartthrob we know and love.
He shot to fame with his role in 1981 thriller Bodyheat, opposite William Hurt, Kathleen Turner and features Ted Danson, and won millions of fans with his smouldering good looks.
The actor went on to become an international sex symbol following the release of saucy blockbuster 9½ Weeks with Kim Basinger.
After landing a slew of acting roles throughout the 1980s, Mickey decided to step away from Hollywood and go back to his first love - boxing.
He first became interested in the sport at the age of 12, and Mickey was drawn back to boxing at many times during his life.
However, his life in the ring soon took a toll on his good looks as he suffered a number of painful facial injuries which required reconstructive surgery.
Mickey later declared the multiple operations had not been the success he had hoped, and he was left bearing the scars of his multiple boxing bouts and rounds under the surgeon's knife.
He went back to acting in the 1990s, but failed to emulate his previous success.
After many years in the wilderness, Mickey made his big comeback in 2005 with a role in cult classic Sin City.
His role as Marv won him a new legion of fans, and Mickey found himself back in the big time.
He went to score roles in films such as Oscar-nominated 2008 drama The Wrestler, superhero blockbuster Iron Man 2 and Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables.
Mickey made a brief return to the ring in 2009 for a bout with Elliot Seymour in Russia which marked his first professional fight in more than 20 years.
He won the showdown by knock out in the second round, but has since been concentrating on his acting career.
