Mickey Rourke Goes To Russian Jail To Prep For Iron Man

Mickey Rourke is dedicated to ensuring that he nails his role in "Iron Man 2."  IESB has posted an image of the actor in a Russian prison.  Seems he was in Russia for the premiere of "The Wrestler."  To prepare for his role as the Russian criminal Whiplash, he spent three hours inside a jail.  That's dedication.  From the picture, I suppose it doesn't look too bad.

I do wonder whose idea this was.  Was it his, his agents, Jon Favreau's?
