Now, the 67-year-old “Sin City” star has rekindled the flames by hitting De Niro, 76, in a shared Instagram post on Friday.

“Hello Robert De Niro, it’s true, I’m talking to you, big crybaby. A friend of mine recently told me that a few months ago they quoted you saying that Mickey Rourke is a liar of the newspapers. All kinds of s – t”.

The actor continued, “Listen to Mr. Tough Guy in the movies, you are the first person to call me a liar and it was in a newspaper. Let me tell you something, punk– when I see you I swear to God about my grandmother, about me brother and all my dogs I’m going to [sic.] you’re 100% severely embarrassed. “

Ahead of this weekend, the most recent addition to his feud came in 2019 when Rourke claimed that De Niro prevented him from joining the cast of “The Irishman.”

“Marty Scorsese wanted to meet me for a movie with Al Pacino, Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro,” Rourke revealed to the Italian television program Live – Non è la D’Urso (via The Independent). “The cast person told my manager that Robert De Niro said he refused to work with me on a movie.”

“Now, I no longer admire him; I look through him,” said Rourke. “I got the hell out of him. He doesn’t know that life. I lived that real life, so every time I look at his face, I look through his hole.”
