Sylvester Stallone could be up for an Oscar – he deserves one for Twitter alone

Lia Nicholls

There’s talk Sylvester Stallone could be in the running for an Oscar for latest film Creed.

The Rocky star – whose latest muscle role sees him training the son (Michael B. Jordan) of former heavyweight champion, and Rocky’s former rival, Apollo Creed – could be nominated in the upcoming Academy Awards as this year’s Hollywood comeback story.

Creed has made $44million in the US box office in its first week – but what about all the cash Stallone has previously made La La Land with the fighting franchise? Seven films in total when you include Creed.

Surely he’s due a nod by the Academy? His is Twitter alone deserves some appreciation, here’s why:

He’s inventive with work

He uploads videos of him and his family racing to catch a plane

He takes the p*ss out of his vintage pics wearing string vests

He takes you behind the scenes

His latest tweet made us smile too
