The New York-born actor rose to fame in the 70s, has attended countless award shows, dated and married multiple actresses and models, and has a second career as a professional boxer. Now he’s joining Love Island’s Chris Hughes and TOWIE’s Ella Rae Wise in completing challenges to win Weetabix and instant noodles in their weekly food shop.
Less than a week into his stay, Mickey has been called for to be evicted after making some blatantly homophobic comments about his housemate, former Dance Moms star JoJo Siwa. Not only did the actor say: “If I stay here more than four days you’re not gay anymore”, he also threatened to “tie” her up and even said he was going to “vote this lesbian out real quick”.
As a result, Big Brother called him into the Diary Room and said: “If you say or behave like this again, you may be kicked out of the Big Brother house.” A spokesperson for the project later said: “All housemates receive respect and inclusion training and detailed briefings from the Big Brother senior team to help them prepare for their stay in the Big Brother house and understand Big Brother’s expectations for appropriate behavior and language.”
In any case, Mickey has become a housemate that viewers pay attention to. This is not only because of his strange behavior, but also because of his ever-changing appearance. Mickey has been active in the public eye for more than 50 years and has undergone several transformations – many of which are due to his boxing career.
In 2009, he told the Daily Mail about his surgeries: “Most of them were to repair the damage to my face from boxing, but I had the wrong people to fix my face. I’ve had my nose broken twice. I’ve had five operations on my nose and one on a broken cheekbone.”
“I had to remove cartilage from my ear to rebuild my nose and had several operations to shave off the cartilage because the scar tissue didn’t heal well. It was one of the most painful operations, but the worst was the hemorrhoids.”
However, his ex-wife Debra Fair has previously confirmed that he has also had plastic surgery. “He would kill me for saying this, but he wanted a role in a movie so badly that he even had cheek fillers,” she told the Mirror. “He told me his face was swollen because he had his molars removed. But I know that’s not true – he didn’t have any molars to remove.”
