I’m in Beverly Hills and I run I into Johnny Ola—no, wait, that’s Fredo’s story in “Godfather Part II.”
I’m in Beverly Hills circa 99 and I see Stallone across the street talking very briefly with two young men. I could read what happened next. After these two - shocked as hell that holy shit! it’s Sylvester Stallone! - were just about to leave, one of them clearly had asked “Can I shake your hand?” With nothing but warmth, graciousness and a smile to match, Stallone extended his hand, walked toward him and shook the young man’s hand before going on his way.
While a megastar, he still knew that doing this would mean the world to this guy and would be an anecdote he would never forget. Nor would a stranger across the street.

PS: Oh. And he’s fantastic in “Creed” and deserves the Oscar.
