Mickey Rourke's wrestling match with Chris Jericho was no easy victory - the actor walked out of the ring with a broken hand.

Rourke went head-to-head with the professional grappler earlier this month at the WWE's Wrestlemania 25 in Houston, Texas, following a bitter and public war of words with Jericho.

The star, who won a string of awards for his performance in The Wrestler, stunned fans after standing up from his seat in the crowd to clamber over the guard ropes and deliver a punch that left Jericho reeling.

But although Rourke admits he played up the smackdown for the cameras, he was left with a fracture in his hand.

He tells the New York Daily News, "I'm all healed up now. I kept my hand open when I punched so I wouldn't hurt him."

And Rourke insists he and his fellow tough man have resolved their dispute off-camera: "Chris and I went out for drinks after. We're all good now."
