A representative for Mickey Rourke has dismissed rumours the actor hates working with Gwyneth Paltrow - insisting he holds his Iron Man 2 co-star in the "highest regard".
The Wrestler actor sent online gossips into a spin after describing one of his work colleagues as "a pain in the ass" on set.
He told MovieHole.net, "I worked with an actress recently who, despite having a reputation as a good actress, shits herself when that little red light comes on.
"She's fooled everyone into thinking she's a lot better than she is. Working with someone like that is a pain in the ass."
Rourke was reported to have aimed his rant at Paltrow after a post on Twitter.com, purportedly from the actor, named the Oscar-winner.
But a representative for the star has confirmed the Twitter account in question does not belong to the real Mickey Rourke, who has a lot of respect for Paltrow.
The spokesperson tells GossipCop.com, "(Rourke) does not have a Twitter account (and he) holds Gwyneth in the highest regard."
