Actor Mickey Rourke has been slammed for his inappropriate behavior toward a female host of the British reality show Celebrity Big Brother. The former professional boxer, 72, was being interviewed before entering the house on the show’s opening night Monday when he twirled AJ Odudu around. “Stop looking at me!” she said as the Oscar-nominated Hollywood star stared at her backside. He appeared to be overly handsy with Odudu, 37, and when he was prompted to enter the house, he said, “I wanna stay with you.” Odudu’s co-host Will Best was heard saying, “Careful, Mickey.” Celebrity Big Brother is now facing calls to boot The Wrestler actor from the production. “The controlling twirling and torso-bumping of our AJ and the long glances of admiration... might not have sat well with a modern audience,” body language expert Judi James told Paddy Power Games.
