Mickey Rourke insists he doesn’t need charity to pay his bills — but his landlord wants to evict him for owing nearly $60,000 in back rent and slam the actor with a new lawsuit seeking legal fees and costs for all his troubles, according to The Guardian.

The National Enquirer has learned a process server hired by the washed-up stud’s landlord tried four times to slap him with eviction papers between Jan. 14 and Jan. 20.

“I knocked and announced that I am a registered process server here to serve court documents,” states the process server’s affidavit filed on Jan. 28. “There was still no response.”

Days earlier, the landlord filed an amended complaint not only seeking $59,100 in back rent from the 9 ½ Weeks star but also demanding “reasonable attorney fees” for all the trouble, court documents show.

This all comes just days after tough guy Rourke, 73, was talking smack about a GoFundMe account that claimed to be raising cash to help him squirm out of his financial obligations.

“I wouldn’t take a nickel of charity,” raged Rourke, adding that he’d “rather stick a gun up my ass and pull the trigger” than accept the money.

The appeal was set up Jan. 4 to raise $60,000 to help the actor — Oscar-nominated for his 2008 comeback, The Wrestler — cover overdue rent for his Los Angeles home. It was believed his management team launched the account, which raised more than $100,000 before being shut down.

In an Instagram post, he called the fundraiser a “scam” and said his lawyer was trying to reimburse anyone who donated money, but had only succeeded in returning 10 percent of the cash.
