He really was a *STANDOUT* in *EVERY* movie he was in.
RIP 😔
Chubbs 🙏
I remember first seeing Rocky when I was a small child. I loved Carl Weathers. He was one of my favorite actors ever. And I've been a Raiders fan my whole life.... this one hurts.
LEGENDARY and BRILLIANT MAN 💥💫
Yes he was! Real acting chops!
"There is no tomorrow" R.I.P Carl Weathers. He was so charismatic on screen.
DELEPLANE
NOW YOU PISSED ME OFF!
Training in Rocky III
Is unforgettable!!!
He was “so charismatic” that what?
That was easily the greatest scene of him
This man stayed in shape ALL HIS LIFE.
RIP Mr. Weathers
💯
Glad he's getting the media recognition he deserves.
And Billy Dee Williams didn't but lived longer. Got those two mixed up back in the 1990's. RIP Carl Weathers.
This is a man literally no one can say anything bad about.
And if they do...they will have to answer to us.
I can

You’d only be projecting you just don’t realize and know it🤦♂️.
Yet at least. I never take anything for granted anymore in the celeb world. But he does seem a nice guy from what I've read.
🤣🤣
That man was my childhood in the 80s.😢
WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL
Mine too....my parents used to take us to the drive in movies pretty regularly...I can remember playing on the little play ground under the big drive in screen while rocky movies played. Man those were good times....1982-1986
Action Jackson…..when he jumped over that car I was at awe in the 80s

That show is going nowhere now.
"Ill never forget you Apollo". You were the man Carl. There would have been no Rocky without Creed!
Always such a handsome man and underrated actor.
Rest In Power Carl.
"DILLON! You son of a B****!" *manliest high five in recorded history*

This really hit like a stomach punch

Tragic news
Much respect to Mr. Weathers. I grew up a huge 'Rocky' fan, and he was my favorite character as Apollo Creed. Man, this is a tough one. RIP Carl Weathers.
No matter what he was in film or TV, you always knew that Carl Weathers would put on a good act. You always remembered his part in a film or TV show. He stood out and above. RIP Mr. Weathers, always enjoyed your work.
I'm a 90's baby, and always found this O.G as one of the coolest beings around. He was the best, especially in ''Action Jackson'' and ''Predator''. He was so healthy and looked cool even in his 70's. Rest easy my O.G, you will be missed 🙏🏾🕊
He appears in Michael Jackson song video Liberian girl
SEEMS FISHY HE PASSED WHILE SLEEPING
Just to show none of us can outlast father time.... dude was strong and athletic asf in his heyday..... he really gimme oh that's the black tough guy who's gonna save us yall vibe.... lol..... jokes aside.... loved him as a kid in rocky and especially predator .... dude made classics with both Stallone and Arnie .... RIP champ .... me in Stallone Italian accent ❤
People might remember him on the tv series called Street Justice.
@@garthleadon8483thats how I first new him, and the longest exposure time
Gone too soon. Phenomenal actor, director, and human being. RIP Carl 🥊🇺🇸💪🏾😭
Well said 😢
Not too early, but not too soon, also, too soon is when some has gone under 60 years old, I love him😢
@@joaofernandes1166 Gene Hackman is 93 and still alive. Weathers passed away too soon
He was a decent, hard working man, who could light up a room with his smile.
R.I.P. Mr. Weathers
Carl Weathers is one of the greatest actors in movie history. He has made many movies from science fiction, comedy and force 10 from navarone but will be more well known for being in the Rocky movies. My heart goes out to Carl Weathers and his family. You will never be forgotten. I have a lot of your movies Carl and I will remember you forever. Rest in peace , dear friend
Seemed like an absolutely lovely man.
What a full life.
RIP great warrior
RIP Carl. You have left a treasure of memories for many of us who grew up watching you perform. Prayers of comfort to his family.

RIP Carl Weathers RIP (1948-2024)
The Master of Disaster, The Dancing Destroyer, The King of Sting, The Count of Monte Fisto, The One and Only APOLLO CREED!
Rest in Peace Carl Weathers. Thank you for giving us many decades of entertainment.
This comment is legendary
Rest in Peace man, your roles were iconic.
THIS WAS A BLOW TOO HOLLYWOOD
Very sad. Great actor. He still looked absolutely fit and strong at 76!
So handsome and charismatic too
Fit, age 76, healthy, no issues, and the irony is that life went by just like that peacefully.
I will miss Carl weather's he was a good actor rest in peace.
"THERE IS NO TOMORROW!" 😢
Don't worry Dillion, we're still holding on to that damn chopper..😞R.I.P 🙏
Never really heard anything bad about this guy. Loved as Apollo and Chubbs. RIP Mr. Weathers.
Apollo Creed will always live forever. Rest well Carl, you'll be missed
There is no tomorrow!!!
This one hurts y'all. This dude's been entertaining me my whole life. From Rocky to Mando. Predator to Action Jackson.
RIP brother! You will be missed but always appreciated
You’re right I’m really sad about his passing…he was great in Rocky as Apollo
Absolutely right on, same here.
Totally gutted. Horrible news.
Very sad news
@@markminter6312yeah 😢
I don't believe that I've seen this much genuine love and admiration for one celebrity from so many other celebrities. He will be missed.
He was a great actor. Miss him already 😢
All his roles were phenomenal. A great actor for sure
What an icon. So much charisma. A huge loss. "There IS NO TOMORROW!"
This is terrible news. My heart goes out to his family.
😌
🙏
He's one of my favorites...
RIP...🙏🙏🙏
For someone who wasn't a leading man and some of his roles weren't that big, he still managed to make himself a legend! He aced the roles he did have and is in so many classic moments it's ridiculous. What a loss.
He felt like the main character in Rocky 2! His presence was insane
He lived down the street from my parents and I would see him whenever I visited my parents. I just saw him a month before or so. Crazy to think he left us. RIP Carl. You were a great one and this one really hurts.
I have always liked this man as an actor. Rest in peace Carl Weathers.
He was in such good shape i thought he'd live forever. RIP 😔
Still hard to process, just watched him yesterday in his commercial with Rob Gronkowski.. he was in great shape, just so damn sad
@@Nightwatchman53I know what u mean. What in the world made him die in his sleep of all things??????
propably drugs...@@wrotedog
76 is very young to die he must of had a medical condition
So apparently the secret to living forever is big muscles?
Here is a man, a great, kind gentle man, RIP and thank you for all the memories.
When Rocky first opened my big sister who was 16years old took me to see for my 9th Birthday.
People shouted , clapped, cried , cheered.
It was an absolute amazing experience.
Carl created a character that you hissed at I Rocky 1, felt empathy with in Rocky 2, respected and liked in Rocky 3, and deeply mourned in Rocky 4. It was one of those very rare black characters at the time that was allowed a full emotional evolution. Carl’s brilliant skills of an actor made him unforgettable. Thank you Carl for being so generous with your gifts.
Loved this guy. Rest easy, my friend.

Bit weird there buddy 😂

Breaks my heart...RIP... blessings and comfort to his family
Just heard. So I’m paying my respects. This man has been there since I was a kid. First time I saw him was on the big screen as Apollo Creed. I was eleven.
This man brought integrity. He brought talent. And he brought the confidence to children, as well as adults, in convincing forms on how to be a good man and human being. My heart is broken yet again. Condolences to his family and friends. Later man. Seeya soon.🇺🇸

Carl Weathers was such a hug part of my childhood thank you for blessing us with your presence. R.I.P
RIP such a great actor. Im glad I had the privilege to watch his acting as a young child in the 80’s,-90’s, and now 2023. I big role will be missed in the Mandalorian thats heart breaking
Carl Weathers, we will miss you. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. 🤲
💯
He was so good in his comedic roles!
I agree
His best role was definitely Apollo Creed. "There is no tomorrow!" scene is iconic
R.I.P. Carl Weathers who passed away peacefully in his sleep on February 1st 2024. You will definitely be missed by your fans "Apollo Creed" in Rocky.
and "Greef Karga" in the Mandalorian. And Colonel Al Dillon in Predator. You will be missed Carl Weathers.
👏😇🙌🙏🤲📿
Rest in peace brother Apollo. You're gone but you;ll never be forgotten.
One of my favorites. Sad day. RIP, Mr. Weathers.
Loved him. Thank you Carl for the great roles and memories. You are a legend. RIP
Rest in peace dude, absolute shame. Great man with a good heart.
Absolutely loved this man. He always gave it all in what role he was cast. Thankyou for entertaining us for decades sir.
Yesterday I was searching for the movie Action Jackson which he played in. So sad. May he Rest in Peace.
Dammit! Rest easy champ
Weve all gotta go sometime...always makes you sad when you see actors that you grew up with pass away...R.I.P Carl, you were a great actor and an honoruable man.
It always seems as though people pass away right before or after his/her birthday. I really enjoyed his inspiring performance in the Rocky movies. Being Rocky's nemesis in the first two films and then becoming a great friend during the next two. Such a great performance. Wish I had met him, at least once. May he rest in peace and continue to inspire others moving forward. ❤
That's a wrap, Carl.
Thank you, Carl. Rest in peace.
So sad. RIP to this legend.
I can't deal with these losses.
had always been a symbol of " I want a body like that" ...RIP , and thanks for everything!!
Thank you for the memories sir, you literally raised several generations with that apollo character
We losing a lot of big stars 😞
And we're goin' to loose many others...it's a terrible scenery !
Old age .. thats the way it is. In fact in by 2050 75% of the current stars right now will be dead. And so will 90% of people who are above 50 yr old as of today.
Carl Weathers is one of my favorite actors and he was my childhood in the 80's included "Rocky" and "Predator". I loved watching him in "Happy Gilmore" in the 90's! Thanks for the memories! Rest in peace, Carl Weathers.😥😢
@@ChickityChicken🤫🤫🤫
Me and my buddies just did a Carl Weathers movie Saturday last month. Damn. I am losing so many of my favs from my childhood. RIP.😭
This is heartbreaking
What an amazing character Creed he put life into, made the rocky series what it is. The Creed spin-off series is a good testament to how popular the original character was.
Thanks you Carl for the great memories
R.I.P
Apollo 😢
RIP Carl. You are a big part of some of my fondest memories in life.
Rest in peace champ
There is no tomorrow!!!!
Rip champ
My favorite quote of all time
Oh my goodness he was a sweetheart man when I met him. Down to earth he was ❤
I’ve seen Carl Weathers in so many movies and shows. He was an outstanding actor and l always enjoyed his performances. My condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.
I could cry
Dang, I’m only 24, my pops had us watching rocky ALL the time, good ole Apollo creed
I am saddened by the news .
Man, whenever I hear of one of my childhood favorite actors pass, it reminds me of not only my own mortality, but how life is way too short and how the world is loosing the best and the brightest. RIP Mr. Weathers
Rest easy, Champ. Thank you for the memories. 🙏
RIP to the legend Carl Weathers. This man gave me so much inspiration in my life. He will forever be known as Apollo from Rocky, which by the way should have been given an Oscar for his role because he was phenomenal.
He will also be remembered for Dillon from Predator and the iconic arm wrestling scene with Arnold.
RIP legend, you will be missed ❤
Loved your movies. RIP.
This man lived a wonderful life. I'm happy he passed in peace that's how I wish to go. In peace.
This was a beautiful tribute.
Our condolences to his family. He was a great and lovely actor. We will miss him. God takes him in his open arms. Rest in peace Mr Carl 🙏
Rest in Peace Carl, thank you for all the entertainment and May the Force be with you "Lando"
50 years, Rest in Peace Brother❤❤❤
Much respect to Carl Weathers and may he rest in peace. Hope his family has peace and solace. What an incredible actor and I'm sure an even better person!
Such an amazing person, gone too young.😢
