At the inaugural ‘Rocky Day’ in Philadelphia, which celebrated the 47th anniversary of the film’s release in 1976, Sylvester Stallone encountered a young fan with whom he shared a nice moment.

“I want to tell you something you already know,” he shouts with determination. “The world isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. This is a very mean and nasty place, and I don’t care how tough you are; If you let it, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently.”
Sylvester Stallone, who was clearly impressed, joined in to act out Rocky’s scenes with young Ro Knight and now has 50 thousand followers on Instagram, becoming an overnight sensation and being dubbed the “real life Rocky.” “It is said.
