Mickey Rourke and Robert De Niro fell out after working together on cult horror movie Angel Heart.
They say there's just enough religion parts in the world to make men hate one another, but not enough to make them love.
According to Mickey Rourke, a fued that began in 1987 between himself and Robert De Niro on the set of horror classic Angel Heart is still chugging along. Rourke recently went on an Italian talk show called Live – Non è la D’Urso, and said that De Niro had gone out of his way to prevent him from nabbing a role in Martin Scorsese's upcoming Netflix film, The Irishman.
"Marty Scorsese wanted to meet me for a movie with Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, and Robert De Niro," Rourke claimed. "The casting person told my manager that Robert De Niro said he refused to work with me in a movie.
