Revealed, oddly enough of all places, on the blog of former Sleater-Kinney guitar player and current NPR correspondent, Carrie Brownstein:

CB: You recently filmed a movie with Mickey Rourke, can you tell us something about him that we may not know? To be honest, I personally know nothing about Mickey Rourke, so any tidbit would be helpful.

TB: I actually haven’t filmed the movie yet, Carrie (ooh, we’re off to an awkward start). But yes, I have some scenes with him in an upcoming film titled The Wrestler, directed by Darren Aronofsky. I’m a fan both of those guys, so I’m really excited. I film in early March, so you’ll have to wait those Mickey Rourke “tidbits.” Maybe I’ll even get you some “morsels.”
