You've gotta love Sly Stallone...
Now you've gotta love him even more!
The legendary actor, who is favourite to win the Best Supporting Actor Oscar in the coming weeks for his performance in "Creed", recently took the time to chat to a homeless woman and give her some cash!
The father-of-five, who is now 69-years-old, was looking terrific in his suit.
Then after the gesture, it was off to pick up some food - no doubt Sly is carb loading for an upcoming workout!
Stallone Was Once In Poverty Too - The Story Of ButKus The Dog
The actor's financial struggle before punching his way to fame in "Rocky" was tough. He was forced to sell his dog Butkus (the one you see in Rocky!) to survive.
He sold Butkus for $50, but ended up buying it back for $3000 following some tough negotiations after finally selling the Rocky script.
"He wanted to fight me and said he was gonna kill me - he was a crazy little person. I couldn't fight him - they'd arrest me - so I offered to pay double. Anyway, $3,000 and several threats later..."
In the end though, little Jimmy was cast in Rocky!
Stallone says: 'Do you remember in Rocky where the little guy goes, "Hey, did ya win?" and I go, "What are you deaf?" and he goes, "No, I'm short." That's him.'
"Stay Fit, Stay Flexed!"
