Mickey Rourke is desperate to reunite with ex wife Carre Otis.

When asked if he would like to rekindle his romance with Carre, who he split from in 1998, Rourke said: "Yeah, sure. So, you know, we do crazy things to numb the pain. Does that answer your question?

"Why do you think I have seven dogs? Because I can't sleep in my bed without them. Because the bed's too big."

The former hellraiser was pictured out with several different women on a recent trip to London but insists he' a one-woman man at heart.

When asked why he is successful with women, he added in an interview with Britain's FHM magazine: "I'm not. Not in my book. I understand what you're saying but I'm not. If I had my pick I'd be with one lady."
