Sylvester Stallone - Friday Night with Jonathan Ross (FULL INTERVIEW)

Enjoy Sylvester Stallone's introduction and full interview on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross.
Broadcast date: 15/02/2008.

[@Captain_Rhodes]

Sly and Arnie and all those 80's guys. Now we realise that they were realy good at those action movies, when you compare to todays action actors, they just had so much more presence

[@Pieceoreece]

They were alot more unique, reason is that the action stars of today are thinking of Sly and Arny when trying to act in an action movie because they're so legendary; meaning a lot of their acting will have been seen before.

[@iziot1]

Two absolute legends as well. Self made men, humorous and self deprecating despite their success. Truly inspirational.

[@maudnoodle8373]

You are right. They showed their profession on television instead of playing someone with a profession (like actors nowadays tend to do)

[@sventrogrlic6370]

Sly and Arnie made Action movies famous in Hollywood.....and nobody else!!

[@ppassmore25]

sven trogrlic Tom cruise!!!!

[@eddiebear34]

I absolutely love Stallone. He's like the godfather of action films. For anyone of any age, but especially guys who are aging, he's an inspiration for keeping in shape. I don't wish to meet many celebs but he's definitely one of them 👏

[@jodeye1832]

He is one of the biggest stars in the world and is still so down to earth, I just kept smiling throughout the whole interview.

[@davidr4523]

Can you believe that Stallone is 62 years old in this interview. He looks like he is in his 40's. This guy truly understands the secret of staying young.

[@501archer]

Wow, Sly seems so articulate and personable here. I never understood his popularity until just recently when I watched the Rocky movies (yes, all 6 of them!) for the first time. I absolutely loved them and was blown away when I learned that he wrote the screenplays himself. I've never paid attention to his career and basically only knew his name but I was always under the impression that he was just a somewhat dimwitted action star with marginal talent and a distinctive, parodic way of speaking. But this interview changed my perception of him completely around. He may not be an extraordinary actor (in that "true artist" sense) but he's sharper and more eloquent than I had imagined.

[@lamolambda8349]

[@rcalabais]

Just the greatest guy

[@pavelkish7142]

STALLONE IS SO KIND AND TALENTED... there's no one like him. People love him.. everyone loves him for a reason.

[@MRSNYPA786]

i like how hes critical of his own movies slys a cool guy

[@syedhamid8916]

Total guy's guy. Old school. Love him.

[@Maidez09]

Love his honesty and his off key joke about Rocky being more of a poet. He is very capable and intelligent.

[@robertmcelwaine7024]

+_Maidez_ Well with an 160 IQ he certainly is.

[@elkhanhamet2561]

what a pleasant guy!!! Sylvester always had a class and a heart, and it really shows. Love him and his movies, God Bless him and his family!!!

[@jchisholm1968]

The Rocky films were a great inspiration to all of us teenagers in the 80's. And the music was fantastic to train to.

[@cluggyahoo]

What a smart , articulate, disciplined and humble man. His movies gave me so much inspiration . There will never be a guy like this in Hollywood

[@tanneroneal5553]

Sly is awesome! Watching this and realizing how much better UK talk show host are than U.S. ones. Great interview from the past.

[@diegobriseno7395]

Agreed! British talk shows are way better than American talk shows! Jonathan Ross and Graham Norton are two best greatest talk show host ever and I'm a born and raised in the U.S. by the way!

[@thebusybum]

I love his eyes when he smiles:)

[@katherinealexandra9115]

Gorgeous man inside and out.

[@il100374]

I love how self aware Sylvester Stallone is

@@il100374 you replied after 6 years? Damn 😂

[@capokhatpin]

God I love this man. So down to earth. I grew up in the 80's on a diet of rocky and rambo. Hope he continues with the Rambo character.

[@quatz1981]

I found Rocky II to be almost as good as the first. Its a direct continuation of the first and it has the same feel. If Rocky is a 10 id give Rocky II a 9.

[@yethboth7873]

'He was Wocky, he is Wambo'. lol :)

[@paulbadoo9326]

For all his movies, which specially in the 80s were quite violent, I think the key to Stallone's massive success has always been his niceness, his smile and the honesty in his eyes. You can't help but root for him always, no matter what he does.

[@shushens]

Wocky and Wambo :D

[@Amanda-1985]

lol Wambo more than Wocky?

[@richardristic55]

such a nice guy, genuine.

[@brucethehealer]

I won tickets for Rocky 1! That was the beginning of a lifelong devotion to a fictitious character that sly not only created but lived! Then came Rambo, A rebel with "Just Cause" in my opinion and I could so relate to0 this in my life! So in sly 's characters, I found myself and I'm still fighting at aged 58! God Bless you Sly and either this side or the other, one day we will meet!

[@melodykey]

I love him im such a big fan of Sylvester Stallone, his films so inspirational!! and sly himself such an inspiration!!

[@Persiatic]

Love it when females love Sly..,specially Rambo first blood/1

[@michaelkrolewski7406]

He's the definition of tough and tender, that's what makes him so appealing

[@TayannaStudios]

Stallone is an underestimated genius - fantastic writer, director, actor with a heart of gold. Lovely guy.

[@davefox8948]

With all that he did before, It’s amazing what Stallone has done since this interview. He is the greatest Action Star.

[@chrisevans5259]

Rocky and Rambo are two iconic stars of the silver screen, we've all grown up watching the two legendary characters over the years and their exploits ,Stallone breathed life into both , he brought a realism and a soul to them, and over 40 years we've cheered, cried, laughed and been entertained by two of the biggest screen characters to ever hit the cinema.

[@ste8851]

Fantastic interview, I really love Stallone ,he has always seemed to keep his feet firmly grounded, seems like such a nice genuine guy, his story in life and how he made it big is one to be truly admired..

[@lucu01]

Great to see Arnie, living action cinematic legend. I grew up with Rocky (Oscar winning film) and then Rambo (which was a great storyline).

[@RockTitan]

Excellent conversation!

[@raulcitraro]

Yo Adrian! I think a lot of people agree w/ me about Sylvester Stallone being a great motivator for young people in the '70s-'80s to get back in shape. Thanks to him,I took boxing as a sport and got into superb physical condition.

[@Paul91-]

"What am I going to fight? Arthritis?" Legend.

[@chrisradnedge74]

Such a great interview.

[@sylvesterstallon3]

Sylvester stallone is my all-time idol

[@Ethanhill-]

Legend in the flesh

[@sab786truth]

I enjoyed watching and listening to this video. cool interview. go rocky go!! and rambo!!!

[@NBK1313]

Great show! I love stallone and i was soooo happy that he may be filming another rambo. Bit please 600-1000 kills in this one. The last one was absolutely amazing.

[@FuntClaps101]

Can't believe he voted Rocky 2 as the worst film of the saga. That's my favourite one. Stays very true to the 1st.

[@TZER0]

Actually he rated Rocky V as the worst.

[@dennisjr77]

Rocky 3 is the best imo

[@steffnic13]

Agreed. I love the 2nd and 4th. 3rd was OK.

[@jasonhylnd001]

Clubber was more appealing than robot Drago.

[@jakubkrcma]

TOTAL RESPECT

[@ShutoStriker]

Rambo 4 was fucking amazing. Went and bought it same day on DVD - no regret.

[@vardellsfolly5200]

He is very humble and modest for a phenomenal star.

[@netweed09]

+Λαυρέντιος Ψαροκάηκας He has the rep so doesn't really need a davidbrent-style inflatable tentpole to look any bigger =)

[@nitevibe9886]

Rocky 5 isn't even as bad as people make it out to be

[@rkitchen69]

+NiTEVibe98 Yeah I actually like it. It was a bit more realistic and personal after 4 which was pure pantomime (but still great).

[@nitevibe9886]

+Ryan Kitchen Only problem is it was a little short

[@yacovlk7924]

+NiTEVibe98 Rocky 1 and 2 are the only good ones.

[@nitevibe9886]

+Bevakasha They're all good rocky 1 & 2 just carry more legacy

[@yacovlk7924]

NiTEVibe98 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are awful.

[@spacedtime6597]

Stallone such a fun guy

[@dennisjr77]

Lmao.... I love Stallone. “You gonna do another one?” “What am I gonna fight? Arthritis?”

[@mikesmith-qu7zu]

Sly great script writer, great actor, great action hero. Keep those movies rolling - specially Expendables 3, if you decide to do it me & the lads be hitting the i-max theatres.

[@rockono4]

I love how he's dressed so casually!

[@Clarensee]

He was the SWEETEST guy on this show. I wonder if he's a fraction of that in real life.

[@WateryFire]

He's like that in every interview so there must be something to it. He seems to me a genuinely good guy which is totally rare in Hollywood.

[@alastairward2774]

I've read he's pretty laid back with people away from the camera too.

[@Clarensee]

+Prelestnost2 I can only hope.

[@Clarensee]

+Stefano Pavone Interesting. I've heard a lot about his ego, but not "mellowing out", that's why I was so surprised seeing him like that.

[@vardellsfolly5200]

+ClarenseE He does not pretend. He is NOT that good of an actor!

[@pappajinx]

Maaan, what a cool guy! So down to earth.

[@yoursoulbeauty]

Thank You for Your movies, Sylvester

[@PontifexPotens]

This is like Jonathan's dream come true. He's so excited.

[@ChernovFan100]

A living legend.

[@IcomeIviewIcomment]

Love it when he talks about Rocky 4 because they made it with the mindset Expendables 3 should have had. Hard, hard R, little to no CGI, real men mano-o-mano

He’s just the best.

[@shadowman2192]

I was heart broken when Sly confirmed he will not be making one more Rambo movie ☹️

[@steve17bf2]

He said he would do Rambo, not Rocky :)

[@shadowman2192]

That's not what I heard. He wanted to do one more Rambo but is just not up to physicality of the role anymore. But I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

[@markhughes3716]

steve17bf2 creed was not his film just stared in it . It was brought to him

[@warren218]

He just posted a screenshot of Rambo 5 called Last Blood on his Instagram. Looks like it's happening.

[@shadowman2192]
