STALLONE PUTS MUSCLE ON FATHER TIME!
Movie hulk still hard as Rocky after hitting 75
ACTION man Sylvester Stallone may be 75 — but he’s still the musclebound palooka he played in his super hit Rocky and Rambo flicks.
The hunk, who hit the three-quarters of a century mark on July 6, posted a pic of his bulging bod for his
13.2 million fans on social media with an explanation of why he’s still ripped at an age lesser men have gone to pot.
“Went to damn the gym today when I didn’t want to,” he writes. “But doing things when you do NOT want to, I found an extremely important key to success.”
He also noted he stays in shape because, “I have to get ready to start doing some old school ACTION!”
The “Italian Stallion” owes his stardom and staggering $400 million fortune as much to his ballooned muscles as he does his acting.
He was a struggling, nearnobody when he wrote and starred in his first Rocky flick based on the real-life match between champ Muhammad Ali and over-the-hill puncher
Chuck Wepner. He only got a $23,000 salary for the 1976 hit, but he made millions from the four sequels, as well as his five Rambo movies.
And he keeps working out despite his age so he can continue playing heroic parts.
In his latest flick, Samaritan, he plays an aged, missing superhero and he’s a twofisted soldier in the upcoming Little America and a rumored The Expendables 4.
He recently flexed his muscles and took selfies for a group of young fans who mobbed him on the street.
“Made my day,” he beams. “The fact that this generation even knows who Rocky is is such a source of pride for me … Keep punching.”
