Old Enough To Know Better

Sly has presided over a couple of the most successful movie franchises in history - Rambo and Rocky. Yet while Rocky still stumbles into the ring, conceding his own human frailty, Rambo seems to have barely noticed the passing years and can still take out most of the Burmese military with a quiver-full of arrows and a dirty look. Stallone was thirty when he hit paydirt with Rocky and it wasn't until six years later that John Rambo unleashed the dogs of gore. If it ain't broke don't fix it. seemed to be Sly's reasoning...and he stayed with his creations until they were ready for their complimentary Oyster cards. In fact, he was 61 when he made Rocky Balboa and 63 when Rambo strutted his stuff again. As the man himself admits, you need outside help to keep going: "Testosterone to me is so important for a sense of well-being when you get older. Everyone over 40 years old would be wise to investigate it because it increases the quality of your life."
