Just when Megan Fox is being panned for her acting skills, Hollywood comeback kid Mickey Rourke has hailed the model-turned-actress as Hollywood's "best young actress".

Fox impressed Rourke on the sets of their new movie Passion Play opposite each other where she plays a "circus freak" with wings who is under the control of a ruthless gangster and is eventually rescued by Rourke's character, reports imdb.com.

Rourke reveals he was left in awe of Fox's talent. "[She] is the best young actress I've ever worked with. I don?t know if a lot of her films have showcased her acting ability more than, say, being action-oriented, but she really stepped up [to] the plate with this one and was very consistent and professional, beyond her years. At 23, I couldn't do half of what she's doing," he said.
