LOS ANGELES — Sylvester Stallone won a Golden Globe for best supporting actor for his turn in the critically acclaimed movie Creed, reprising his iconic role of boxer Rocky Balboa.
The 69-year-old Stallone — whose Balboa returns to the ring to train the son of his late friend and onetime rival — bested Paul Dano (Love & Mercy), Idris Elba (Beasts of No Nation), Mark Rylance (Bridge of Spies) and Michael Shannon (99 Homes).
“I’m going to try not to get emotional, because I am the sum total of everyone I’ve ever met and I’m lucky to absorb some of it,” Stallone told the star-studded event, before thanking his wife and three daughters for their support.
“I want to thank my imaginary friend, Rocky Balboa, for being the best friend I ever had,” he added.
