- Carl Weathers has died. He was 76. The 'Rocky' star's family confirmed the news to ET. In a statement, they reveal Weathers died in his sleep on Thursday. While known to many as Apollo Creed, Rocky Balboa's foe turned friend across the hit franchise, Weathers became a pop culture fixture after 'Predator,' plus his comedic turns in 'Happy Gilmore' and 'Arrested Development.' On 'The Mandalorian,' Weathers pulled double duty while playing Greef Karga and stepping behind the camera as a director.

Rest easy, Mr Weathers. Without Apollo Creed there is no Rocky.
💯💯💯
*Nick Wuebker* What makes you thinks he's resting?
"Died peacefully in his sleep," From WHAT ????? HOW? WHY? etc, etc.
Was it a lengthy illness, or strange sudden passing? More REAL NEWS, please.
Rocky 4...👍👍👍
Carl Weathers is one of my favorites..
RIP...🙏🙏🙏
So sad . Carl was more than just a great actor. A great man . Even with all of his fame he remained a humble man. Someone who everyone could relate to. RIP Carl. You will be missed and forever loved.
Genuinely a great. One of the last true role models we’ll see in our lifetime for sure.
We're losing all the good people. 😢
R.I.P. Carl ❤
My condolences to your family. 💔
I know man it sucks. I was so so so shocked to hear this news. But then again he lived a very long life and he is at peace so I can easily accept his death but at the same time I wish he still lived.
Correct message
@@ziona9259 76 years is not that old.
Perhaps it's bc I'm now 62.
I had a huge crush on Carl aka Apollo Creed.
The first Black Man, on screen in my awareness wearing suites.
He was so fine, with that perfect Afro. Just Beautiful chocolate.
😍 😘 😆 🙂 😢 💔
@@ziona925976 isn’t that old 96 or even 86 is a decent life

#RIPCarlWeathers #RIPApolloCreed
I’m a huge Rocky fan, and every time I hear about another cast member passing away it really hurts! RIP Carl Weathers!
So many times we thought of Rocky and Apollo when things got tough in our lives. Rest in peace champ, we were lucky to have you.
This man is one of the main reasons I started working out when I was young I envisioned myself looking like him. RIP & thank you 🙏🏿 ❤
I had the pleasure of meeting Carl Weathers once years ago at Ottawa Comiccon. He was easy to talk to, he seemed like a good man to be around, and I told him how much the character of Apollo Creed has impacted a lot of people! Rest in peace, sir! 🥊
When I saw the news that he had passed away, it was like an old friend had died. I just loved his presence in whatever movie or TV show he was in.
Carl, thank you for making my childhood by being on Rocky and Predator.
You made Apollo Creed have character and charisma.
Keep dancing in heaven, Carl. 😢
We grieve, Karga.
Salute to Carl Weathers, a respected gentleman and thespian. From action to drama to comedy, Weathers was a delight to watch.
RIP Chubs.
i met him at a comic con and played guitar for him last October and hes a really a great person i have ever met. R.I.P. you will be missed and sending my condolences to his friends and family.
RIP Carl your have left a treasure of memories for many of us who grew up watching you perform prayers of comfort to his family 🕊❤
I still can't believe he's gone I liked this man as an actor and real human being who was so underrated as an actor. RIP Mr. Carl Weathers.
So sad. 76 is not a early age compared to many.. But he seemed so healthy, up and about in recent years. R.I.P.
I know people don’t usually die in their sleep when they’re healthy that’s why his death is so shocking
And old heart just gives out even if you’re healthy
You know, they say that's the best way to go. In your sleep.. Because your not feeling any Pain..
One of my favorite childhood actor. We will miss you for all the memories of Rocky. Rest in peace my, Brother.
What memories of him in Rocky V? Ivan Drago killed Apollo Creed in Rocky IV.
@@Chelaxim i meant rocky iv. It was my favorite
He didnt start acting until he was an adult. He wasnt a childhood actor.
Apollo Creed. A True champion. You were blessed with many talents. Thank you for sharing it with us all. We love you champ. Go take your rest 👊🏾👊🏾🙏🏾❤️
I will miss him he played on one of my top 10 fav 90s shows" in the heat of the night"
You brought so many characters to life and I enjoyed them all. Rest In Peace!
What a great carreer and beautiful man. Condolances to the family😌 RIP APOLLO❤🥊
This man was a legend his performance as Apollo Creed is iconic he was also great in Predator Action Jackson. Happy Gilmore and many other roles RIP Carl Weathers 🙏 💙
I copied this from my best friend's post about Carl on his FaceBook page because I couldn't say it any more succinct or perceptive.:
A lot will be said about Carl Weathers, and like so many of my generation, I’m still processing the news of his passing. His iconic place in our culture as the antagonist to Rocky cannot easily be measured. And I say antagonist, because for me, and millions of others, Apollo Creed was never the villain. I never rooted against Apollo, I was just rooting FOR Rocky. And that is the truly extraordinary power and charm Carl Weathers brought to that iconic performance. He was over-the-top, cocky, arrogant, a magnificent showman, a world champion, but did all of it with a twinkle in his eye. In his career, he often played obstacles to the heroes, but he was never cruel, unlikable, or ugly in his performances and when you’re playing antagonists, that is not an easy road. I remember, as I’m sure so many of my generation do, shadow boxing in my imagination with Carl Weathers, to that iconic music, summoning all my strength to make it the distance… so many of my generation wanted to fight him or be him. But never did we hate him. Just sit with that incredible thought for a moment. And you will remember why that first Rocky film will forever stand as one of the greatest films ever made. Rocky’s character arc required a mountain to overcome, and Carl Weathers was an Everest. Rest in Peace, icon of the screen and millions of young kids’ dreams.
MUSIC TO EARS.
Sad. One half of the most inspirational movies ever! RIP Carl/Apollo♥️💪🏾✊🏾🧠

He will be forever be missed!! There will truly never be another Carl Weathers!!!
R.I.P Mr Carl💔

Dear Carl, we thank you, we will never forget everything. Another legend has passed away.
One of the true greats. Iconic characters in Apollo and Dillon, but let's not forget his ability to not take himself too seriously. His take on himself in Arrested Development was brilliant, and he recent work on The Mandalorian was fantastic. RIP to a great one.

R.I.P. brother. Thank you for your positive contributions
Rest in Peace Carl Weathers. You gave so many great memories. One of the best to ever do it. You will live on in our hearts forever.
I'm so sad about this. He LOVED what he was doing in The Mandalorian, being someone who didn't just act but directed. 76 seems too young. He was such a treasure of a resource to the people he worked with. He will be deeply missed by many different fandoms. What an incredible, outstanding good man to lose.
met him 2 years ago a really nice guy.
Carl and Sly were awesome together as Apollo Creed and Rocky Balboa. Hard to imagine anyone else as those characters. Rest in peace, Carl/Apollo.
One episode in the show Good Times, Rocky, Predator, Happy Gilmor etc. He was an excellent actor. Prayers
R.I.P. Carl Weathers (1948-2024)
