Sylvester Stallone reveals Carl Weathers’ ‘Rocky’ audition story
Stallone, 77, detailed Weathers’ audition for ‘Rocky’ to Jimmy Fallon on ‘The Tonight Show’, reports ‘People’ magazine.
Action star Sylvester Stallone has officially joined the cast of This Is Us and started shooting the second season of the hit NBC TV series in Santa Clarita, California.
The 71-year-old actor will appear in a guest role opposite Justin Hartley’s character, Kevin, as his co-star in a war movie directed by Ron Howard (also playing himself).
“The irony is we can get Wi-Fi in Bulgaria, surrounded by wolves, but we can’t get it in Santa Clarita,” Stallone said in an Instagram video, while panning to show his co-star, Chrissy Metz.

The Rocky star posted a photo on Instagram alongside Hartley.
