People who dismiss Stallone, and Schwarzenegger, as mindless, muscle bound, meatheads, really don’t have a clue how incredible they really are. They both defied the odds, on several occasions, and are true legends, in so many ways.

At 57-years old next month, the shape I'm in... a miracle, that inspiration paid off. lol Sylvester Stallone is a legend.

Wow. “You’ve managed poverty very well.” Like “you know you can do that. If you take this risk and it fails, you know you can bounce back. You’ve succeeded at that already.” That is so liberating! Like, “okay, let’s do this because even if I lose, I know for a fact I’ll live through it. There’s nothing left to fear and to avoid taking this risk.” I really needed that message tonight. I’m gonna remember that. “You’ve managed poverty really well. You know how to do that.”

The man’s life story is Rocky. No one could play the part better than him. Thanks my friend.

Who said no one wants to hear Sylvester that’s so rude - he was so good he’s paid his dews he’s got a story - go Rocky !

Some famous people age badly, not always there fault of course. Then you get Sly. He makes you listen to what he’s saying, because you know there is nothing false about this guy. He’s walked the walk. A decent man with a lot of wisdom, he needs to be heard. Keeping on rocking Rambo✌️

Brilliantly put together. Sylvester has always walked the walk and talked the talk. Total focus throughout his life. What an inspiration😎👌

Back in the Seventies when Stallone starting inspiring some many young guys with Rocky, my Italian Bouncer Buddy Duke said that he gives hope to the hopeless. From Rocky to Rambo I saw the blows of life parallel life for not only myself but most of the guys I grew up with. Now at 70 I marvel at Cliffhanger to Rambo V, last blood. God Bless You Sly. "Like a cunning fox, you outfoxed all your arrogant and jealous enemies."

Favorite actor of all time. A legend, icon and an inspiration of the American Dream.

I just love this man, so authentic! Was my idol. One day I meet Stallone in Venice, was a summer film festival, probably 1997. Waking with my sister on a street of Venice, close to Hotel Daniele, I see from distance a bright, clean and unique figure. I was amazed to find out was Stallone. I just pointed toward the guy, yelling: Sylvester Stallone!!! The man turn to say Ciao,…, probably pleased of my reaction. An excellent actor, a special model, and very authentic. Definitely are many good talented actors, but this man is a real legend.

Incredible Speech and Actor.Stallone has created or starred in countless movies consistently from day 1 until the present day never disappointing his fans. Craig

Best speech I ever heard from an Actor. Stallone, Jim Carrey, Johnny Depp, and Arnold. I love you all far more, partly I could relate to what they say. To all those who may be going through a rough patch, just remember Rocky-Bruce-Donnie-Terminator, and things will just be fine.

Truly enjoyed his outlook on life and the pure will to do his dream no mater what. Incredibly talented man and i loved rocky movies thank you for sharing this warm hearted experience, of hard times and good times. Best wishes to you sly, im sorry you had to sell your dog.

Up against Overwhelming odds, Mr. Sylvester Stallone found a way where there was No Way. Since I was a young boy, born in Manhattan New York City of Mohawk Native American & Puerto Rican ancestry. I had always look up too Mr. Sylvester Stallone through his Powerful movies, Awesome Motivational Speeches which had made a STRONG impact in my very own life, being considered the Underdog.

1 of the best speeches I've heard in awhile

Thank You Mr. Stallone! I am the Director of "my movie". I had a Dream to be a Musician... a Good One. My parents, friends, teachers and others told me it would never happen. Mind you, I did NOT dream of being rich and famous! I dreamed of making a decent living doing what I loved. I'm 72 this year, and I have played Music Professionally since 1965. I have done many other things as well, but I ALWAYS played Music. For many, many years, I ONLY played Music. I've recorded 38 Albums of all Original Music, worked with many, many "big names", and I feel like "my movie" has been a Blockbuster! May you ALL live in such a way that you will feel the same!

I love you the world loves you I love what you represent who you are the man you are you're brilliant loving humble kind very talented actor director God blessed you with a gift and you shared it with the world Unforgettable Unstoppable blessings to you and your family thank you for all the love and laughter you're an icon a legacy an inspiration to us all

i aint goin' down no more from Rocky II has helped me enormously in my life. You are the best, Sly and thank you!

Let’s get together and save our nation in the spirit of Rocky 🇺🇸🇺🇸

What an incredible story!

If Stallone would have blinked at that moment Chuck landed that blow to Ali we probably wouldn't have a Rocky movie...He captured the feeling of that moment PRECISELY!

I've always felt that we're actors in our own life's story and at "The End" of the film and after we've reviewed the premiere, would we be satisfied with our performance? Part of the problem, in my opinion, money becomes a motivating factor when we should be self-motivated so at "The End" of our story, we can stand-up and give ourselves an ovation for a job well done👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

There is lots of truths in this. When I founded my company a couple of years ago I made peace in my mind with the high risk by telling myself that even if it fails I at least wasnt too afraid to take my chances. You've got to decide who you want to be. Not between a successful man and a loser but between someone who takes his chances and someone who does not. The latter is a loser, not the one who tries and falls.

Thankyou for being so honest. We can all take lessons from this man.

Very inspirational. Thank you.

So many beautiful stories on this channel. Thank you.

I dont usually write long winded comments on anything but this time I just cant help but do it. When the first rocky film came out I had three sons aged 12, 7 and 5. They watched that film over and over again. They used to take in turns one would lay on the floor doing sit-ups, another one of them would hold the first ones feet down and the third one would slap the first one across the stomach just like on the film. then they would move around and start again. Obviously all watched to make sure that nobody was going to get hurt!! This fitness regime was the start of them being fitness and sport crazy ! I often wondered how many other children were doing the same thing, and having fun with it just like they did. He did something wonderful for my kids and they NEVER ceased to enjoy the films nor did they ever give up on their fitness. Now he has given us something else! He shared with us his thoughts but, not only that he has spoken them with openness and sincerity . Something very rare at this point in time . From my stance I would like to say a big thank you for the straight forward honesty that was served in this short film!!!! Molto molto Grazie!!!

He is so right ... "its your movie... you can make it how you want..." great video - thanks for sharing it! Subscribed!

STALLONE FOREVER

The more common thing about shopping a script around, is that they might say that they are not interested, "Thanks for stopping by, but we're going to pass on this one", then they get a writer buddy to do a script in a very similar vein. Have you ever noticed that when some movies are released, that there is another movie coming out at around the same time which is about the same theme? ...yeah, it's basically theft of IP, but shuffled around just enough to help avoid litigation over the matter, ...or not. For every script writer that makes it big, there are hundreds, maybe thousands, that get chewed up and spit out by the movie making machine. Sly was one of the lucky ones to hit the bigtime.

God bless you brothers and sisters

I guess I always perceived him as Rocky or Rambo. Not the brightest star in the sky but is a sharp tool that perseveres. I really enjoyed this. There did not seem to be any manufactured Hollywood in it. Genuine words that I found truth in and resonated with me. He really is Sly.

Worth listening to many times, especially the closing thoughts.

Thank you for this amazing video, it is a gift to the soul. I'm fan of Stallone.

Thank you, Sly❤. You are an awesome motivator, love you❤. Keep these videos going!! A lot of people need to hear this! Doesn’t matter how old you are! It’s not over, until you take your last breath, in this life❤

Good Stuff to keep you going! Thank you Sly.

Never underestimate the underdog. The one with the heart full of drive that has been disappointed over and over. But still the heart keeps going. Never let go of your integrity! Remember don't become the roadblock to others, support them even when you are still in the process of following your dream. Learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of others. Because when you reach your goal you need to be able to hold your head up high knowing you always tried to do things the right way. Don't forget where you come from. Don't be ashamed of your past or situation it's the example that will show others they are not alone in the beginning of their dream. I don't care if it takes forty years to reach that goal. Point is you never gave up. One of the hardest decisions you may have to make is take the responsible path when others depend on you or do you walk away to follow a dream no one understands. You never know you can stay and be there for others and with a lot of hope you might get a chance to still make the dream come true later in life. It's what you can live with at the end. Don't forget to be a friend to yourself.

Knocked down but still prevailed. I want this ! Amen. Thank you! Muchlove, Mr. Stallone. I want to be proud of the part I've played in my own life. Inspiring. On another note, can't wait for Tulsa King. My husband and I will be watching.🥰😄❤

I don't know about anybody else I was more than glad to hear it

The statement " you are producing the movie called you..are you satisfied with your acting......" A prolific writer, actor, producer....all for the world. But he is a better human being appreciating the facts of life.

Sylvester Stallone is one of the greatest of all time. I do not know how many hours I have spent watching his movies in my life, but I could hazard a guess that 1 month would not be enough.. There has been many action stars in movies since -80s, Sly is still bringing it. And everyone loves him. And he is a true self made man, if there ever was one. Now I am middle aged and if nothing sudden happens, I will outlive most of my heroes... and that is going to suck massively.

Wow! I needed to hear that. Thanks. 😎😎😎

Oh does that hit home. I like him more now because of this insight. Be true to you. Take it from Sly and me. Before you know it, time gets away from you.
