Mickey Rourke says Courtney Love worse than a gorilla

Responding to rumors that he was dating Courtney Love, Mickey Rourke categorically denied the story, but it’s how he does it that’s golden.

Rourke told reporters who asked him Thursday that he would “rather be on a deserted island with a gorilla!” than with Love.

The Mirror had claimed Rourke and Love have been dating for three weeks since a hook up at the Golden Globes in January.

“Courtney has quite a crush on Mickey and finds him utterly compelling,” a source told The Mirror. “They’ve known each other for years – she’s stuck by him through the good times and the bad. Now he’s back on the Hollywood A-list he’s gone up another notch in the desirability stakes. Let’s just say they didn’t stop at holding hands and a chaste peck on the cheek.”

TMZ has the video of Rourke making the comment here.
