The incorrigible Mickey Rourke is currently midway through the filming of Jon Favreau’s Iron Man 2 and recently chatted about his character, the villainous Whiplash. “I’m having the time of my life!” he enthused about joining the Iron Man franchise. “It’s been really brutal, because my Iron Man suit weighs 23lb.
