ROURKE: 'I NEVER TOOK STEROIDS'

MICKEY ROURKE has hit back at reports he took steroids in a bid to get in shape for gritty new movie THE WRESTLER, insisting the media has gone too far with comments he made in a magazine interview.

Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler.

The Golden Globe winner hinted at the fact he'd taken steroids to bulk up for his role as battered fighter Randy 'The Ram' Robinson in a recent interview with U.S. magazine Men's Journal.

When asked if he took steroids, the star replied, "When I'm a wrestler, I behave like a wrestler."

But Rourke now insists he didn't use growth hormones or controversial sports drugs to enhance his physique.

He states, "I did some stuff. You wouldn't classify it as steroids, but I did some heavy duty supplements... but not the regular stuff."
