Stallone says 'didn't expect to win' Golden Globe
The 69-year old actor won a Golden Globe award for reprising his iconic role as boxer Rocky Balboa.
LONDON - Sylvester Stallone and cast members of "Creed", which continues on from the Hollywood star s "Rocky" films, hit the red carpet in London for the movie s European premiere on Tuesday.
The 69-year old actor won a Golden Globe award for reprising his iconic role as boxer Rocky Balboa in "Creed" and received a standing ovation at the ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday.
His performance in 1977 s "Rocky" -- the first film in the franchise -- earned Stallone nominations at the Golden Globes, Oscars and BAFTAs -- but he failed to win any of those awards.
"I didn t expect to win," Stallone said on the London red carpet.
"I didn t expect to be there; the last time I was there was maybe 1977, there was maybe 10 tables and it was indoors, it wasn t televised - it was surreal for me - here is my wife my three kids - and Rocky, he just comes through."
