Rocky Balboa arrives in the UK
17 January 2007
Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone is in the UK to promote the release of his new film Rocky Balboa.
Sly has been travelling all over the country during his visit and even made an appearance at a top Premier League football match.
The 60-year-old walked onto the pitch at Goodison Park, the home of Everton Football Club, before a recent match and received a rapturous reception.
Since then he has attended the premiere of the latest Rocky movie in Leicester Square, where he was joined by many big names.
British boxer Amir Khan was present, as were Callum Best and Jennifer Ellison. TV presenter Lisa Snowdon surprised even Sly himself when she jokingly landed a left hook on the actor's chin.
The movie world was shocked to hear that Sly would be returning to the screen with Rocky, but the 60-year-old adopted a vigorous training regime and told reporters that it was all worth it.
'The crowd are so great and what is really shocking is that they are so young. I guess Rocky translates to younger generations,' he said.
