Rest in peace Carl Weathers (January 14, 1948 - February 1, 2024) 😭 Thank you for bringing all of us so much joy with your characters!
I'll never watch "Predator", "Rocky" & "The Mandalorian" in the same way anymore 😥
R.I.P Apollo Creed
"Here's to Chubbs, wherever he is."
- Happy Gilmore
He truly was a legend. Sly could barely hold back tears when he made a little video tribute to Carl. He'll be greatly missed by many.
He was a class act, all the way.
Every time I watch Rocky I get so emotional. Rest in peace Carl we love you brother.❤
"You fight great, but I'm a great fighter"
R.I.P Carl Weathers 😢
Made me feel extra old to see Addie not recognize either Mr. T or Hulk Hogan.
Seeing this movie and Mr. T's character again, how did he end up as a role model for kids in the 80's? 😂
I know right? That made me super cringe when I realized that.
@@MegaToronto1his mother got so mad and disappointed in him for being so crass here that every role after this he refused to be like that. She walked out of the movie premiere and he made sure she was always proud of his acting after that.
His success from this film got him the role in The A Team and THAT'S what made him a role model and icon
@@MegaToronto1The A-Team, and his wholesome cartoon. There was even his own cereal!
RIP Burgess Meredith (November 16, 1907 - September 9, 1997), aged 89
RIP Tony Burton (March 23, 1937 - February 25, 2016), aged 78
RIP Burt Young (April 30, 1940 - October 8, 2023), aged 83
RIP Carl Weathers (January 14, 1948 - February 1, 2024), aged 76
You will remembered as legends.
Don't forget: RIP Tony Burton as Tony Duke Evers (March 23, 1937 - February 25, 2016) aged 78 (Apollo's trainer in I and II, Rocky's co-trainer in III, and Rocky's trainer in IV and VI.
"No pain!!!"

@@MrKeychange True at the time of you posting your comment. However, that wasn't the case when I posted mine. Notice that the comment by

@@Phatooine Gotcha
Are Sly and Talia the last recurring actors left? :( I guess there is one spoiler actor from Rocky as well (from future movies) who is semi recurring.
"Today is an incredibly sad day for me. I'm so torn up. I can't even tell you. I'm just trying to hold it in. Carl Weathers was such an integral part of my life, my success, everything about it. When he walked into that room and I saw him for the first time, I saw greatness. But I didn't realize how great, I never could have accomplished what we did with Rocky without him. He was absolutely brilliant. His voice, his size, his power, his athletic ability, but more importantly, his heart, his soul. It’s a horrible loss. I'm standing here in front of this painting because it was probably the last moment we were ever in the ring together, and I'll never forget it. He was magic and I was so fortunate to be part of his life. So, Apollo... Keep punching."
Yeah i heard yesterday i cried cause Carl Weathers is my hero he is such a great man 😭
We will all miss him as actors like himself, David Warner, Mr T, Michael Winslow, and Michael Keaton molded our childhood.
@@josealmeida2842 its hard to believe he is gone
Is this Sylvester Stallone's message?
Stfu, I grew up with rocky, his heart his soul, shut up! Talking about a character that was barley present anyways😆
The CIA must have had Carl pushing too many pencils. RIP champ.
I love that Predator reference
Picked up some bad habits!! 👊🏻
Dillon!
You son of a...God.
So yu cooked up a storeh and drahped the six uv uz in a meat grindah!
When I was a kid, I had Rocky I-V on VHS tape. I recorded them off of HBO, they weren’t even official. I was a fat kid, I got bullied and picked on. Apollo Creed training Rocky in “Rocky III” inspired me to start working out. I pretended Apollo was training me. I was poor, so I took my old basketball pole and poured concrete in 5 gallon buckets (of course I didn’t fill it up, just enough) to make my own barbell. Now I’m 6’3” 220 lbs and I’m running triathlons. I always think of Rocky and Apollo when I’m thinking of quitting. These movies changed my life. After hearing Carl Weathers died yesterday, I saw this pop up in my RUclips feed. I’m new to your channel. Great reaction.
I did the same thing with the VHS tape. Since each movie starts with the ending of the one before it I was able to seamlessly edit 1-4 into one continuous long movie on a single 8 hour tape
What a wonderful inspiration. I'm happy for you that you were able to make this change for yourself to be healthier. It takes determination and lots of dedication. Congratulations on your success. :)
These movies have inspired so many people. Good for man, great commit.
Aww man.. You're story is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing that.
Beautiful
"There IS no tomorrow!" words to live by. Rest in peace, champ.
Addie is SOO invested……in Reference to Rocky and Creed she kept saying “I love the two of us working together” 😂😂😂.
I'm convinced us old timers love these reactions because it's like watching the movies we love with our daughters again. As always love your reactions.
Carl Weathers had so many acts in his life, and he knocked them all out of the park. I am so grateful for the memories. RIP Mr. Weathers.
Thanks, Carl, for being larger than life... Goodbye, Apollo... RIP
The Dancing Destroyer, The King of Sting, The Count of Monte Fisto, The Master of Disaster, The one and only Apollo Creed! Rest well you Legend.
Rocky III: I’m a very emotional movie
Rocky IV: Hold my beer
Fun Facts: This is Mr. T's first acting role (impressive performance btw) and he took his mother to see it. During the scene when he disrespects Adrian she stood up, told him she raised him better than that and stormed off LOL Also Mickey and Apollo said to Rocky "You're the best". Some songs were written for this movie including Joe Esposito's "You're the best" which ended up being used in Karate Kid after Stallone chose Survivor's "The eye of the tiger" instead.
Too soon bro 😢
@@malc568but it's always coming
@@malc568 too revealing, bro.
In this movie the emotion seems honest. In the next? Manipulated.
Found out last night that Carl Weathers passed away. RIP to a wonderful actor.
R.I.P. Carl Weathers. Thank you for the memories.
Burt Young actually was a boxer. That other guy is known professionally as "Hulk" Hogan. What can one say about Carl Weathers? Such a bright star in our sky. The man overflowed with charisma. Instantly likable, and sorely missed. Rest in peace.
Burt Young and Tony Burton (Duke) were both boxers, Hulk Hogan was a wrestler, Mr. T was a bouncer, and Carl Weathers was a football player. All very tough people.
@@terminallumbago6465 Don't forget Burgess Meredith. He was a boxer too.
RIP Carl Weathers (1948-2024)
Rocky III (1982) continues the saga of Rocky Balboa. Mickey's death after Rocky loses his fight against Clubber Lang was heartbreaking but Rocky training with Apollo Creed was both awesome & heartwarming at the same time because that's when their friendship begins. See you soon for Rocky IV (1985).
Also it's an evolution Rocky needed to go through as a person and fighter. Once he found out Mickey was feeding him handpicked opponents it was a huge blow to his self worth. Rocky got the titles back from the legit champion in his prime thanks to training by Apollo and a dose of reality from Adrian.
You know stallion it's too bad we gotta get older.. RIP Carl Weathers
Everytime I watch Rocky 3, it reminds me of Rhonda Rousey. She became champ, let it go to her head, then the challengers really started to swell. And while they were hungry for that belt, Rousey was making Hardees//Carl Jr. commercials, biting down on triple bacon grease burgers with her O-face on. She lost the eye of the tiger, and it was a self-chosen decision.
Rousey is not soft
Thank you Carl Weathers for all the great moments you brought us. From Apollo's charisma to Dillon's handshake with Arnie to his stew eating ways and his one handed golf prowess. And many more...
"It's too bad we gotta get old".... too bad indeed Apollo. RIP champ!
Seeing Mickey go was tough, Mr T played such a great villain. But for me he will always be B A Baracus from the A team. I pity the fool😂
4:28 the Irony of this scene. Burt Young was a seriously accomplished fighter in real life. He had a very impressive record
Dedicated to Carl Weathers
January 14, 1948 - February 1, 2024
RIP Carl Weathers, Rocky was one of my favorite movies as a young teen adolescence and loving Happy Gilmore seeing he passed away yesterday hurt. Him passing away is right up there with losing Robin Williams for me.
Interestingly, the actor who plays Paulie had been a professional boxer. How weird was it for him, who had real life experience as a decent professional boxer, to act in a boxing movie playing an unathletic drunken shlub who doesn't belong anywhere near a boxing ring, while Stallone (as far as I know) never did any actual boxing beyond just training for the role? In the early scene where Paulie is swinging at Rocky in anger... if the two actors had actually fought for real as themselves at that moment, Paulie would likely have destroyed Stallone!!
This is kinda perfect timing with the very sad passing of Carl Weathers, such a sad loss. RIP Apollo Creed.
You know the franchise is gold when you're still crying at the third installment.
I can’t believe Carl Weathers passed. Dillon from Predator, Action Jackson, Apollo Creed, he has cemented his legacy in pop culture. RIP.
One of my favorites was him playing a parody of himself on Arrested Development. "You got yourself a stew".
R.I.P. Chubbs! I guess you probably got your hand back!😢
Me too! He was a great athlete, actor and an even better person.
I still can't believe the Hulkster put Rocky over.
R.I.P. Carl Weathers
RIP Carl Weathers. I hope you continue watching the series still. There will be more tears shed for sure.
R.I.P. Carl Weathers, “Action Jackson” ❤️👊🏼
The 80's really shines through on Rocky 3 & 4.
Stallone reached an outrageous 2% body fat to film this movie.
May Mr. Weathers have the most peaceful of rests.
2% body fat?? Holy shit that sounds very dangerous.
IV is coll and all, but for non-unitedstater public, if feels like shameless propaganda.
Stallone was not 2% bf.
@@luxurybuzz3681Yes he was. He would occasionally pass out on set. He was basically in the same condition bodybuilders are in for competition. Low bodyfat and borderline dehydration.
@@sirsancti5504Like many 80s movies, it was a product of its time. Still a great movie though, like Red Dawn.
I really liked Carl Weathers in Predator and Happy Gilmore as well. And, of course, Rocky IV. You'll get to that soon enough. RIP actor Carl Weathers. 😢 -OG
RIP Carl Weathers
“There is no tomorrow”
"You fight great, but I'm a great fighter..." I always loved that line from Apollo. RIP Mr. Weathers...
I will never understand the Critics at the time that said Stalone couldn't act or direct. The absolute anguish Stalone portrays at the death of Mickey is soul wrenching. What a phenomenal performance.
While I don't love Rocky 3 as much as the first two, I still think it's a pretty fun watch, and it's a good film.
Also, rest in peace, Carl Weathers. You were great.
I feel the same way, but to me it's mainly the Hogan scene and less Bill Conti music doing it. I wish Sly would do a Director's Cut like he did with Rocky 4 and cut Hogan out + ask Conti to score more of it (he's still working)
R.I.P 😢😭😞 The Legend (Carl Weathers)
THE EYE OF THE TIGER...It's unbelievable how many subtle twists & turns in the plots of all of the Rocky movies, and it's really special to see how Addie connects with Rocky's emotional relationships with Adrian, Mickey & Apollo and how they all will affect his performance in the ring! It touches my heart in so many ways, from the emotional scenes with Adrian and with Mickey to the gritty, daring challenges by Apollo...If you ever want to see a movie that will really MOTIVATE you, make sure you watch ROCKY III!
Addie: "Rocky always cheers me up."
Us: "Yeah... About that."
Yeah I didn't know what I was getting myself into hahaha
This movie showed us how real men can openly bawl. It takes a real man with real love to hurt like that. Stallone's performance in all these movies never disappoints; inspiring, teaching, and motivating.
Just learned about Carl Weathers' passing. The guy was a real champ. RIP Apollo.
Rocky III is *absolutely* my favorite movie in the franchise. It avoids a lot of the pitfalls of sequels and makes the first three movies a true trilogy. Every character from the first two movies gets some new development, new facets of their characters, a new way to shine. Adrian, especially, had that fantastic scene on the beach with Rocky. You'd never guess, from the first two movies, that she had it in her, but it still fits with her so well. And, of course, seeing Apollo in his new role as Rocky's trainer and new best friend fits so well with *both* their character arcs. The first two movies are as much about Apollo as they are about Rocky, so this was a great direction for both of them to take. The franchise just wouldn't have been the same without Carl Weathers.
Also? Hulk Hogan, aka Thunderlips, put it very succinctly: That's the name of the game. Wrestling may be fake, but it takes *real* skill and athleticism to get through those matches without permanently injuring yourself; and some get permanently injured, anyway, or worse. Wrestling is not for the faint of heart.
RIP Carl Weather's. Watched your Rocky II Reaction about an hour before they announced his death
RIP Carl Weathers! 😢💔😇
Being a Philly chic born and raised, I've binge watched your first 3 Rocky's and you're adorable! Keep going til the end of Creed. There great!!
Fun Fact... The scene in Rocky 2 when Adrian says Win....they show that and montage at every home game of the Eagles. Gets everyone so pumped up!! ❤
There will be a heavy heart watching the rest of these reactions. The best we can do is remember all the great memories and feelings Carl Weathers brought us over the years and keep his memory alive by continuing to watch these movies. RIP
15:56 such an emotional scene, the "we got more to do" line especially hurts 😢
Can't wait for Addie to review Rocky 4.
RIP Carl Weathers. What a time to be running through the Rocky movies. Especially considering the rest of it
RIP Apollo, I love that he’s working with US too ❤
Three and four are probably my favorite of the original five movies. Rocky and Apollo’s relationship is so great and it really grows from here. I love it ❤️
What I thought was always quite prophetic about this film, is that the Original Rocky film was inspired by the fight between Chuck Wepner and Mohammed Ali, but the relationship between Mickey and Rocky is very reminiscent of Mike Tyson and Cus D'Amato, except it was Cus that had Mike Tyson living with him.
This film was released in 1982. In 1985 Cus D'Amato died, not able to live long enough to see his prodigy Mike Tyson then go on to become the youngest heavyweight champion in 1986, at just 20 years and 4 months of age.
Fun Fact: Mr. T is actually a super nice person IRL, and has done more for children's charities than almost anyone, raising millions, visiting hospitals. He's a superstar.
Carl Weathers - he brought strength and heart and love into all of his projects. The Rocky franchise, Predator, Happy Gilmore, The Mandalorian, and in truth the world are better due to his works of dedication and talent. RIP Carl, you will be missed!
R.I.P. to the great Carl Weathers. Its so incredible the timing of this reaction, especially considering Apollo's role in this movie and the character development. This was special for someone like me that followed his whole career since I was a 6 year old kid.
I've commented this a LOT on other videos and tribute posts before, but I gotta say it again, as it's a hill I will die on. Back in 2017, I had the honor of meeting Carl Weathers in real life. He came to a convention with Dolph Lundgren (Ivan Drago from Rocky IV) and he was easily - without a doubt - one of the nicest celebrities you could ever meet. He was everything you'd expect him to be based on the movies: funny, friendly, and just an overall awesome guy. It's been at least a month as I write this and I still can't get over that he's gone. I know I only met him once, and for a minute or two, but I walked away happy. I never forgot how awesome he was and I never will as long as I live. RIP, I miss you, Carl.
The best thing about every single Rocky movie is the "villain" is always top notch and is always played to perfection. Just enough of hamming it up. Mr. T. was perfect as Clubber Lang! As is every Rocky villain perfect as said villain.
The killer for me was Mickey telling Rocky, "I love ya kid." :(
It might have been the first and only time Mickey ever said it to anyone. They never really got into his backstory enough. Honestly, it would make a great movie.
Ya know, I never thought of that. That WOULD make a great movie. It would be interesting to see who'd be cast because Burgess Meredith was one in a million.@@MrKeychange
@@christopheryochum3602 Right? I never thought of it before today, but I'm surprised it's never talked about. They could set it in the 20's when he was in his prime and include a lot of the stories he told Rocky about in the first movie.
"I pity the fool!" Mr. T is a class act, the opposite of his Clubber Lang character. This was his start and he carried on with his catchphrase to become a TV icon in the series "The A-Team".
RIP Carl Weathers (January 14, 1948 - February 1, 2024).
Wow the painting in the end was behind stallone as he paid tribute to carl today i didn't even realize
I was an incredibly young kid when this came out (still young enough to not have seen it in the theater). But I can tell you this.... for those of us that grew up in the 80s, this and "Rocky IV" simply WERE our childhoods.
R.I.P. Carl Weathers. I'll never forget you Apollo. You're the best.
I love how much you are loving these movies ❤❤ they all brought us so much joy and happiness back in the day and even now whenever I watch them I still get all the feels!! However, today is a sad day for the Rocky/Creed family and we ding the bell 🔔 one last time for the champ! #RipCreed
Such a wholesome reaction. This is one of my favorite movies in the franchise. Even though we didn't find out the results of that last fight here we will find out what happened in one of the later movies and it's a touching moment, really well done. And that goes for you as well Addie, nicely done reaction!
The statue is back at the Art Museum but down near the street.
so glad Addie understands that all those fights weren't fixed, just that the boxers weren't the best comp for Rocky. A lot of other creaters I have seen think that Mickie had fixed the fights.
All of the characters in the Rocky films are so well written that you can't help but feel the emotional weight of their joys and sorrows. The death of Mickey still gets me every time and I've been watching this since the day it first came out. I've said in the past that while Star Wars was always my favorite film series, Rocky is the one that taught me about life. There are so many nuggets of wisdom that can apply to all of life and not just boxing. Adrian's "fight" in this was one of those moments. I won't spoil anything, but I think her conversation here is my second favorite which only comes behind one from Rocky Balboa (the sixth one).
Thank you for sharing this awesome reaction!
And RIP Carl Weathers. So sad to see the loss of a legend who inspired me from a young age!
Addie Counts deserves alot more subs. Great channel. One of the best movie reactors on YT.
I met Carl Weathers at Star Wars Celebration in London last year, SUPER nice guy 🥰. MTFBWY Carl 🙏
4:39 "You could box yourself."
He did. Burt Young was a boxer in the Marines before becoming an actor. He says he also had 14 professional fights and was undefeated before retiring.
I just LOVE seeing a whole new generation fall in love with Rocky - ALL ❤!
RIP, Carl Weathers, Apollo Creed, 1948-2024.
This was a lot of fun. Can't wait to experience Rocky IV with you.
Fun fact, 4:26 -- Burt Young (R.I.P. last year, rough few months for Stallone, adding Carl Weathers to the sad list) was actually a boxer. He served a tour of duty in the United States Marine Corps from 1957 to 1959; while in the Marine Corps, he boxed regularly, winning 32 of 34 boxing bouts
#RIPCarlWeathers. Breaks my heart. Damn I love his movies and his Star Wars character
This may be my favorite Rocky movie, but this is going to be bittersweet to watch. RIP Carl.
The second fight with Lang is inspired by a real fight.
The Rumble in the Jungle could be an amazing movie. Ali was fresh back from his Boxing ban for refusing to go to Vietnam out of protest.
He had lost critical years at his prime. He came back swearing to reconquer the heavyweight division.
He even had beat the one man (at the time) who put Ali on his butt at the height of his career (Smokin’ Joe Frazier who had a cameo in Rocky 1)
His opponent was George Foreman (yes the grill guy) who was a MONSTER and NO ONE expected Ali to win. I think at this point no one had ever gone more than like 6 rounds with Foreman.
Ali, wore him down let him beat up on him until he was tired. (While reciting dirty, mean poems in his ear) and knocked Foreman out.
Ali’s pre fight press conference is LEGENDARY.
“I done something new for this fight. I done wrestled with an alligator.
That's right. I have wrestled with an alligator.
I done tussled with a whale.
I handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder in jail.
Only last week I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalised a brick!
I'm so mean I make medicine sick!”
I’m sure it’s already been commented but an fun fact about the movie: Mr. T (Clubber Lang) brought his mother to the premiere of the movie. During the scene where he was harassing Adrian, his mother got mad and said “I did not raise you to talk to a lady like that.” He tried to explain it was just his character, but she wasn’t having it and stormed out of the theater.
Mr. T irl is actually a wonderful person who has done a lot of good for humanity.
Rest in peace, Carl Weathers. First person I thought of when I heard Carl had passed was Sly Stallone. Before he began his acting career, Carl had played college football and and played for the Oakland Raiders(1970 to 1974).
The older I get the more I like this one. The message of having the strength to change yourself is so powerful!
Believe it or not that brief shot of Rocky on the Muppet show was footage of Stallone’s real life guest star appearance with the Muppets. Stallone was giving some random groupies some basic punching lessons teaching them how the throw the old one two. For this movie, Stallone actually had Jim Henson come in for an ADR session just for that one scene so you can hear Kermit saying, “It’s the Muppet Show with our very special guest star, Rocky Balboa! Yaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!”
Addie, My Daddy took me to see this in the theatre when I was 9 years old and I teared up my eyes when Mickey died. I'm a grown man of 51 years old and I have seen this movie numerous times. I still to this day, tear up when Micky dies. God Bless..
_Rocky_ was a big part of my childhood. Seeing the actors pass away really feels like losing a part of my past. God rest the souls of Carl Weathers (Apollo), Burt Young (Paulie), and Tony Burton (Duke).
Carl passing away is painful enough. I don't even want to think about when that time comes for Sylvester Stallone.
Burt Young could indeed box himself, he was a champion boxer in the marines winning 32 out of 34 fights.
So sweet of you to react to this just after Carl's death. :) Paulie's actor (Burt Young) died back in October too, so that's two big Rocky actors who passed away recently.
I love seeing how into these movies you are, especially during that scene when Clubber interrupts Rocky at the statue unveiling and during the first fight. The way your voice broke when you said "Rocky's not going to win this" got to me.
It was just a coincidence that she released this reaction the week of his passing. It was already done a couple of weeks ago. It just had to be edited
@@PhysicalMediaPreventsWea-bx1zm Sure, I figured. I assume we're getting these reactions after they're released on Patreon.
So, there was a boxing champion named Sugar Ray Leonard. Stallone went to a match and saw a guy in Sugar Ray's entourage who looked really cool. Mr T. Stallone got in touch with him and asked him if he wanted to be in a Rocky movie. I pity the fool who turns down Stallone.
“There is no tomorrow!” Ahh! So many great lines in this one 🤩
We never got to see the fight, but I always thought that Apollo could beat Clubber pretty easily. Clubber is a brawler, but Apollo is a next level fighter. RIP Carl Weathers.
Agreed. I always figured the reason there was never a rubber match between Clubber and Rocky was that Apollo challenged him after he dropped the belt back to Rocky, and humiliated Clubber so badly that he retired and became a recluse.
Max Kellerman had a great take. He said this helped set up the buddy cop genre. Two enemies become friends. One black, one white. One flashy, one reserved.
Thanks, Addie, for sharing this reaction. I liked all that I've seen of Carl Weathers'(Apollo) performances, and am sorry to hear of his passing. I previously knew Burgess Meredith(Micky) from one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes and for playing the Penguin in the '60s Batman TV series and feature movie.
This movie is so good and so underrated definitely better than rocky 4 you have the beginning of the friendship between Apollo and Rocky you get the first time Rocky wears Apollo trunks and this is the first time you have eye of the tiger
1st Rocky reaction I've seen since the news of Carl Weather's passing). Ugh! As a 51 yr. old Gen Xer who grew up w/Rocky & hv seen each movie countless times, Carl Weather's passing hits. As a kid, I had the poster of Rocky & Apollo posing / facing each other w/the gloves up in my bedroom. Apollo Creed was such a great character. There are some roles that are just meant for a particular actor & nobody cld hv done it as well (Carl Weathers as Apollo, Louis Gossett Jr. as GSgt Foley in "An Officer & a Gentlemen). RIP Carl Weathers.
I must say, Addie, I really enjoy your Rocky reactions.
R.I.P. Carl Weathers 😢
This one shows a different side to the entire cast… well, apart from Paulie, he’s still a shady and self centred drunken bum lol… we see Mickey being the protective father figure after giving Rocky a hard time in the first, Rocky had lost the hunger and found something to lose (not just a fight the title), Adrianne found a strength that her former shy self didn’t have, and Apollo became a mentor to his former opponent and wanted him to win.
RIP the Champ Carl Weathers.
I have to say that I wholeheartedly agree with Addie. Apollo was the antagonist in the first two movies, but he was never a villain. He was a good guy, he just had different goals from Rocky and that's what drove their conflict.
RIP Carl ❤❤❤❤😢😢 everything you did was pure magic on screen , you were a true man's man and lived the life of a King❤❤❤ RIP
I really enjoy watching people fall in love with the characters in these movies.
Rocky series is one of those series where people can not like Boxing but still enjoy the movie due to the love story and emotions throughout the films
Yes, this film was such a great role for Carl Weathers. Thanks for all the great showmanship, may you rest in peace.
I WATCHED when Sly was on the Muppet Show (and, of course, Kermit saying, "Rocky Balboa!" was laid over the original audio from the show).
It was a big deal. As a kid, the Muppets didn't have a lot of celebrities that I was into. But Stallone sent me an autographed photo when I was 9 because I'd sent him a fan letter.
Did you know you can actually see that statue on the side of the steps of the building @ 8:48 which is The Philadelphia Museum of Art. And they now got a small Rocky shop. I’m from Philadelphia by the way
