Sylvester Stallone was "consoled" about missing out on an Oscar by Jack Whitehall.
The 27-year-old comedian claims he was a shoulder to cry on for the 69-year-old actor after he failed to triumph in the Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role category at the Academy Awards for his role in Creed.
He said: "I walked straight into Sylvester Stallone afterwards at the Governors Ball. I had to console him about missing out on his Oscar, telling him there was always next year.
Or maybe if he did Creed 2 he might get a nod. I think it reassured him.
"Also, because he knew I was English, I had to tell him who Mark Rylance was. I talked him through all of Mark's performances at the Globe theatre. Good old Sly, I loved him in Creed. And I love Mark Rylance, so I had to remain pretty neutral about it."
