“Who the F*ck in Their 70s Is Believable in an Action Role”: Stunned Joe Rogan Praised Sylvester Stallone During ‘Alpha Dog’ Conversation in Stone Cold Steve Austin Revelation in Forgotten Clip

Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone is considered to be among the top action stars in the industry. What makes him different is his ability to push through in the face of adversity, even doing roles at the age of 76, a feat certainly deserving of praise. This is what made ‘Sly’ a pioneer in the genre trying to make his movies as real as possible. Naturally, many have praised Stallone for his determination to portray roles even in old age with UFC commentator Joe Rogan certainly thinking that Stallone is cut from a different cloth. He once praised ‘Sly’s work ethic for his role in ‘The Expendables’.

On a 2018 episode of The Joe Rogan Experience with former professional wrestler Diamond Dallas Page, Rogan had high praise for ‘Sly’. He claimed that the ‘Rocky’ actor was still doing action roles in his 70s.

What made Sly different from the rest was he was believable as an action star, even with old age catching up to him. Rogan said, “How crazy is that the guy is doing Expendables as fuc*ing action star? He’s in his 70s, Who the f*** in their 70s is believable in an action role? But when you see him doing it you’re like, I kind of believe it. The guy’s still jacked, at 72, 73 whatever the fu** he is.”

Following this, DDP also revealed a story about how Stallone even intimidated former WWE champion Stone Cold Steve Austin, who claimed that Stallone was a ‘Top Alpha Dog’.

A man like Austin, whom many consider an ‘Alpha Dog’ himself, had really high praise for Sly. This only goes to show the impact Stallone has on people and his mindset overall. Moreover, he has made a name for himself mainly due to these qualities necessary for the roles he plays.
