“Soon, I hope so”: Jackie Chan May Have Turned Down Sylvester Stallone’s ‘The Expendables’ Offer, But He Has Been Hopeful to Work With The Rocky Star For Years


The Hong Kong actor Jackie Chan has come a long way since he first received the offer to star in a movie as a child actor. During an interview with Stephen Colbert, the actor shared that he was cast in his first movie role after a filmmaker visited his school and chose him to feature in his movie. Moving past decades after that, he has starred in hundreds of films and has become one of the most recognized faces all around the world.
Being one of the prominent global stars, he has worked with several big names in the film industry. However, fans are still looking forward to his and Sylvester Stallone’s collaboration on the screen. Chan also shared that he wishes to work with Stallone as he joined Stephen Colbert on his late-night talk show.

Jackie Chan Turned Down Several Offers to Work With Sylvester StalloneJackie Chan and Sylvester Stallone are among some of the biggest action stars in the film industry. However, they have still left fans wondering what their on-screen collaboration would look like. The two actors have been reportedly planning to work together for years.
Chan even got several offers to star alongside the Rocky actor. However, there have been several conflicting factors that led the Rush Hour star to turn down these proposals. According to his book Never Grow Up (as per Screen Rant), Chan turned down the offer for Stallone’s 1993 sci-fi action Demolition Man, as he did not want to play a villain.

It was also the reason he denied the offer to star in the fourth installment of the Rambo franchise, for which he was offered the role of a drug dealer. Years later, the Police Story actor was once again approached to star alongside Stallone star for The Expendables sequel.
This time, however, schedules got in the way. He was also offered a role in The Expendables threequel, but he reportedly turned down the offer as his role in the movie was too small. The actor specified what he would like to work with Stallone on, as he stated that he’s still hopeful to work with the Hollywood star.

Jackie Chan Looks Forward to Star Alongside Sylvester StalloneJackie Chan joined The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to promote his 2017 action thriller, The Foreigner. During the interview, the actor shared his global filming experiences. Discussing the same, he shared that he once visited an island that only had a population of 20,000 people.
He shared that as he drove past the street, he could hear people chanting his name. When the Drunken Master star asked his driver how they knew him, he told him that “they only know two people,” Jackie Chan and Sylvester Stallone.

When the host asked if he’s doing a movie with The Expendables star, he said, “Soon, I hope so.” Chan was also offered a role in Stallone’s latest The Expendables 4, but he reportedly turned down the offer as he wanted to do a movie with him only, instead of joining a huge star cast alongside him.
“I said, ‘Sly, can’t we just do you and me? Not just a bunch of people and me only coming out for five minutes,” he said during an interview with Dan of Geek (as per Cinemablend). Both Chan and Stallone are reportedly good friends and have been planning to work together since the 90s and hopefully, they would be able to make it happen soon.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
