Mickey Rourke was "petrified" the first time he saw a pair of breasts.

The 'Wrestler' star - who has not had a relationship for 14 years - was extremely nervous around females when he was young, and didn't know how to react when his first girlfriend showed him her chest.

Mickey explained: "I was about 15. She was really nice, but I wasn't used to talking to girls. After taking her out, I was at her house and she says, 'Don't you even want to see my t*ts?' She lifts up her shirt. I stood there petrified. I didn't know what to say to her. All I knew is I wanted to see them again, but she threw me out. I wasn't forward enough. It was not a good beginning."

Mickey - who has been married twice - added he believes trust and fidelity are the most important aspects of a relationship, and insists it isn't hard to be faithful to someone if you really love them.

He explained to Britain's The Observer newspaper: "Monogamy? I can't wait. I don't practise it, because I haven't met the one I'd practise it with, but I believe in it absolutely. I'd join that club in a heartbeat."
