“You bet your ass” was the response that Mickey Rourke gave to a photographer who rather coherently shouted “Iron Man 2” in his direction on the street over the weekend. According to a video from Geno’s World (found via Film Drunk), the exchange went something like this:

PHOTOGRAPHER: (unintelligible)
ROURKE: Iron Man 2.
PHOTOGRAPHER: Iron Man 2?
ROURKE: You bet your ass

More specifically, it went just like this:

So either negotiations for a villainous role in Jon Favreau’s Iron Man sequel are going better than they were back in early February. Either that, or as Film Drunk points out, Rourke could have been looking to say just about anything to get this amateur paparazzi guy out of his face. Just like we just ran an entire article about this non-story in order to put the phrase “ass bets” into a title. Take that, respectability.

Place your own bets: What are the odds that the non-Oscar winning Rourke jumps into the Iron Man franchise?
