Just seen the date

Close enough as it was this month.

Stallone must be also questioning his long term viability. Burt Young was 83, whereas Stallone is 77. I know that when you see your contemporaries pass away and they're close enough in age, it can make you tense up a bit.

This said while not knowing Paulie's past medical history and whether or not he was relatively healthy.

RIP

Unbelievable that he was in his mid 30s in the first Rocky. Looked closer to 60

Had a good episode of the Sopranos as  Bobby Balaca Sr, a dying button man -

.

Three of those guys have passed in real life -

Young, Gandolfini, Tarantina (Mustang Sally).

RIP.

First I heard of this: RIP

In addition to Rocky, he was great in Back to School as “Lou.”

Was looking up some of the ages of the Rocky stars. Apollo Creed is 75.😢

Not in Rocky, but Joe Pesci is 80.😬

80 is probably boy the median age of posters on Getbig.

His performance was the only authentic one in that bloody film.

Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts trying to act like a couple of guidos from New York.

Yeah thought he was way older. Looked pretty much the same in the Sopranos.
