Mickey Rourke<\/strong><\/a> raised eyebrows when he entered the Celebrity Big Brother<\/em><\/a> house and couldn\u2019t stop staring at host AJ Odudu<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The actor, 72, made his debut on the U.K. game show<\/a> on Tuesday, April 8, alongside stars including JoJo Siwa<\/strong>, but his behavior with Odudu, 37, is what caused the biggest stir.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re very flirtatious,\u201d Odudu told Rourke as he grabbed her and spun her close to his body. Her cohost, Will Best<\/strong>, then warned Rourke to \u201cbe careful.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Wrestler<\/em> star, meanwhile, continued gazing at Odudu, who was dressed in a feathered brown bodysuit.<\/p>\n

\u201cStop looking at me!\u201d Odudu eventually admonished him. \u201cIt\u2019s time for you to get inside the house.\u201d<\/p>\n

As she pushed him toward the door, Rourke turned around and said, \u201cNo, I want to stay with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

British TV presenter Alan Carr<\/strong> questioned Odudu about the incident on the aftershow Late & Live<\/em>, saying, \u201cCan we talk about Mickey Rourke looking at you? Wow, his eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carr, 48, went on to quip, \u201cFind someone who looks at you the way Mickey looks at you [AJ]. His tongue was hanging out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Odudu agreed with her colleague\u2019s assessment, saying, \u201cIt literally was. I was like, \u2018You can\u2019t afford these feathers. Mickey, no!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tControversies are nothing new for Big Brother. The show has been criticized for racism and discrimination over the years, making major waves with an incident that occurred in season 15. During the 2013 season, Aaryn Gries referred to Asian people as \u201csquinty-eyed,\u201d called her Black roommate Candice Stewart \u201cAunt Jemima\u201d and asked her Korean housemate\u00a0Helen [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Some viewers were less pleased by Rourke\u2019s behavior, with several X users noting that Odudu didn\u2019t look happy about having to fend him off.<\/p>\n

\u201cMickey Rourke made AJ very uncomfortable when he was entering the house,\u201d wrote one viewer. \u201cI do hope he goes out soon as that behaviour was unpleasant & unprofessional. \u2026 I hope AJ is okay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another X user added, \u201cI was a fan of Mickey Rourke for his 5 second walk up & then he grabbed the presenter lady \ud83e\udd22 that crowd turned on him quickkk.\u201d<\/p>\n

One viewer joked that Rourke could have been disciplined<\/a> before even starting the game, writing, \u201cThe producers checking the rule book to see if Mickey Rourke gets a warning for an incident which happened before he even entered the house.\u201d<\/p>\n
