Kim Basinger is reaching out to her former nine-and-a-half weeks, co-star Mickey Rourke, to help with his money troubles. The 73-year-old actor recently faced an eviction after falling behind on nearly $60,000 in rent. Sources say Basinger wants to step in and support him during this rough patch. Here reports highlighted Rourke's financial woes, including that eviction case where he withheld payments from his landlord. Despite his past successes in films like The Wrestler, things have gotten tough lately for the Oscar nominee. In January, Rourke's team even launched a GoFundMe Pays that raised over $100,000. But he turned it down flat, showing his reluctance to accept charity from fans or anyone else. Basinger, now 72, understands the pressures of fame and struggle. He's offered to find him a place to live while he sorts things out and is even ready to loan him cash if needed.
