Oh the irony. Or should I say: “What goes around, comes around” instead? Scott Siegel, the actor who plays steroid dealer in the Oscar-nominated movie The Wrestler featuring Mickey Rourke has been arrested for steroid dealing in real life.
Former wrestler Scott Siegel is not new to prisons and steroid trafficking. He’s been arrested for the same crime before and spend four years in jail for steroid trafficking. I guess scoring a role in an Oscar nominated movie was not good enough of an easy income for the guy, so he decided to get some more cash flowing through his pockets by dealing what he has most experience to deal – steroids.
Last Wednesday, Scott Siegel was seen by DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) officers picking up suspicioous package in New Rochelle. Officers cornered Scott Siegel, who rammed through police vehicles leading them on a high speed chase. After the police caught up with him and disabled his vehicle, Scott Siegel jumped out of his car and continued to flee on foot – dumbass. Cops captured Scott Siegel in Eastchester, New York, but he kept fighting them off. All this ordeal landed him assaulting a federal officer charges and of course steroid distribution charges (schedule III controlled substance).
With Oscar’s night coming up this Sunday and The Wrestler being one of the nominees for the best picture, I’m sure Mickey Rourke is not impressed Scott Siegel fucked it up the way he did. The police say they found 1,500 bottles of anabolic steroids, as well as $100,000 in cash on him. Roids are bad for you kids, m’kay?
Mickey Rourke won a Golden Globe award last night for his role in The Wrestler and as he was giving his speech to the excited crowd he paid homage to the director Darren Aronofsky by calling him “one tough son of a bitch“. All in good spirit. I actually enjoyed Mickey Rourke and his speech – nothing like dropping a b-bomb at the Golden Globe Awards. That tough Son of a Bitch Darren Aronofsky responded by giving Mickey Rourke middle finger. Those two are good buddies, you can tell.
Mickey Rourke sported awesome outfit at the Golden Globe. WTF is he wearing anyway? That wig gets in his face too. This was Mickey’s first best actor Golden Globe award. He definitely took it with style. I’m glad NBC hasn’t censored all that shit out like we’re little kids.
The Wrestler is a movie about life of Randy “The Ram” Robinson a professional wrestler with pretty messed up life. I have not seen the movie yet but the reviews are pretty good suggesting it could be a pretty decent watch and Evan Rachel Wood is in it. I have it on a to-do list to check it out after I had returned from vacation in the Dominican Republic.
Below is the YouTube video of Mickey Rourke calling Darren Aronofsky one tough son of a bitch and getting flipped off in return during his Golden Globe award speech.
