Oscar nominee Sylvester Stallone has revealed he offered to boycott this year’s ceremony because his co-star and director were not among the nominees.
Sly is nominated for best supporting actor for reprising his role of Rocky Balboa in Creed, but star Michael B. Jordan and writer-director Ryan Coogler were notably absent from the nominees list.
The veteran star celebrated his nod at the annual nominees luncheon and revealed he discussed whether he should attend the ceremony with Ryan, adding he offered to boycott the event because neither Ryan nor Michael was nominated.
He said: “There is a universal law of existence, you adapt or cease to exist, so adaption is necessary.
“I spoke with Ryan to ask how he wanted to handle this and told him, ‘I believe you are responsible for me being here’.
