Carl Weathers, AKA Apollo Creed Died In His Sleep, Sylvester Stallone Records A Moving Tribute

Sylvester Stallone delivers emotional tribute for his friend Carl Weathers who died in his sleep on Thursday. “Today is an incredibly sad day for me. I'm so torn up. I can't even tell you. I'm just trying to hold it in.” - “Carl Weathers was such an integral part of my life, my success, everything about it.” - “When he walked into that room and I saw him for the first time, I saw greatness. But I didn't realize how great, I never could have accomplished what we did with Rocky without him.”

“He was absolutely brilliant. His voice, his size, his power, his athletic ability, but more importantly, his heart, his soul. It’s a horrible loss.” - “I'm standing here in front of this painting because it was probably the last moment we were ever in the ring together, and I'll never forget it.” - “He was magic and I was so fortunate to be part of his life.”
