In the preview, Stallone confesses his regrets and reflects on his success. “What’s healthier — living under the illusion that you could have been great? Or did you actually have the opportunity to be great, and then you screwed up and realized you were a failure?” first “Rocky” (1976) as Best Picture at the Oscars.
With nearly 50 years in his career, Stallone has won audiences over with his iconic characters and successful franchises, such as ‘The Expendables’ – which will earn another sequel in September.
