The older I get, the more I realize people like Mr. Stallone are brilliant. It takes a genius to create dumb simple movies that touch your heart.

[@socialwarsmiejercito5608]

He acts dumb, but he's actually really intelligent

[@gretchendemasi768]

Rocky was not a dumb movie, a very touching intelligent beautiful movie. Pretty Woman, now that was a dumb movie.

[@rebekahmaddox1531]

Stallone is so hot especially back in the day. Love his personality too!

[@hanstonk]

What a golden footage, Sly is a highly intelligent man, emotionally and thoughtful

[@eduardobsn83]

Best voice ever

[@jancril7505]

His voice is doing things to me

[@rebekahmaddox1531]

For realz. Same here! I love how masculine he is & his sense of humor & personality.

[@SlyFan-lw1bg]

@@rebekahmaddox1531 Yes! His low, deep, rough voice is sooo nice, and especially great when so many guys sound girly today.

[@InstallaFriend]

Surprisingly intelligent guy

[@charleneelovitz3738]

I have not watched many of his interviews until recently, yes it's great how thoughtful & insightful he is 😊

[@diniljayadas3547]

Every actor across the globe who has given multiple hit movies are always intelligent. It's just like a job, you have to be creative, imaginative, hardworker, visionary and social to be at the top.

[@truthseeker3503]

big fan of Sly and his movies .... very smart man!

[@mousehead2000]

Rocky inspired me at a very early age. It was like a religious experience for me. I never ever forgot that film.

[@Oneironaut9]

Many feel the same.

1979 is a long time ago...I was 20 years old...I remember Sly from the old days..

[@user-ny6ng3lk7y]

Brigitte Bellin so you're 58?

[@joshdavies5839]

I was 16 in 1979 so you're my big sister in that time.

[@freaker126]

stallone should thank the intern doctor. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have been perfect as rocky! But, really. Stallone is an example of someone that rises beyond the crap that life gave him. Some people give up or commit suicide when the going gets tough, but the tough gets going! He wasn't born with a silver spoon or given any chance but he believe in himself and go for it and putting everything he got on the line. He wouldn't have succeed and still be alive now, if he didn't take bull by it's horn! Definitely, a great man and a legend!

[@georgiethumbs2438]

He's a primo example of a guy who used his weaknesses or uniqueness to his advantage. Without question he must have known that his paralyzed lip gave him a mean looking snarl that was perfect for playing tough guys, fighters, and I think that's one of the reasons he insisted on playing Rocky, he knew he was perfect for it and he was. The freakin' studios wanted Ryan O'Neal or Robert Redford playing Rocky, can you imagine?

[@freaker126]

Robert redford? Ahaha 🤣

[@charlesbarboza8591]

freaker126 you are 100% right, I know from experience, although I’ve yet to “Break Through”, I don’t quit because I know if I do, I’ll probably end up dead. There is no turning back, actually, there’s nothing to turn back to, life is short and a day is not promised, so, if you’re gonna try, go all the way. It helps when one is single, that way I don’t subject anyone else to my selfish “Dreams”!!! If I fail, I fail myself and not a family. Anyway, unless you take a shot, you’ll always wonder “what if”!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@nishanthkumar9715]

Wow very handsome...😍

[@uranium2359]

Even Stallome could not have imagined what was waiting for him in the next few years.... he's is now a living legend.....

[@jurgalt2005]

very intelligent man

[@dacpower_ssb]

I love Sylvester Stallone

[@stevendoyle2827]

[@superclash-tvofficial6236]

Around Rocky 2

[@J-SH06]

👍🏻

[@georgiethumbs2438]

I always hear or read that, that the LEFT side of his face was paralyzed by forceps when he was born, but in actuality it is the right side of his face. It's the right side that droops

[@luv2touchpink]

The LEFT side is paralyzed, that's why the right side droops.

[@rebekahmaddox1531]

I think the drooping isn’t really all that noticeable. I think it enhances his personality. It fits him pretty well.

[@saltress1126]

Sly is the Guy! 😘💄💋❤️💪🇺🇸👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@jerome5ify]

i was just a baby

[@lisssande410]

Yeah thats so Rithe sly!!

[@karinafidelis8183]

Stallone age this video

[@jimbobjimjim6500]

33.

[@DenkyManner]

He lost his way at some point, gave up on trying to make responsible movies that contribute to humanity. He made a few, which is more than most people so his career is still a success but he did waste time on blockbuster garbage, even if those movies are enjoyable. I'm not saying he shouldn't have made them but he stopped making the meaningful stuff, apart from the Rocky movies (which all have great moments of humanity, even 5). Did he attempt to do any genuine, humane work in the 90s after Rocky 5? Copland? Everything else is either enjoyable formulaic shallow nonsense or total trash. He stopped making real movies until Balboa. And despite Taratinto wanting him for a decade it never worked out, Stallone blaming scheduling. I think he was afraid of making real movies, Rocky 6 aside. Thank God he was finally convinced to do Creed.

[@jeshkam]

Copland is brilliant.
