Actor Carl Weathers dies at 76; Fans in Philadelphia say will be missed 02:07

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Love for Carl Weathers stretched from his fans to the ones who starred right next to him. Sylvester Stallone worked alongside Weathers in the “Rocky” movies and said a legend was lost this week.

“Today is an incredibly sad day for me. I am so torn up I can’t even tell you,” Stallone said on social media.

Stallone said Weathers played a huge role in his life and success.

“When he walked into that room, and I saw him for the first time I saw greatness, but I didn’t realize how great. I never could have accomplished what we did with Rocky without him,” Stallone said.
