Sylvester Stallone is no stranger to hard-bodied, muscly, masculine movies, so it’s hardly surprising that he’s thrown his support behind Get Carter co-star Mickey Rourke in the Oscar race.
“Mickey, if anybody deserves an Oscar, it’s you," he tells Extra. "No question about it. You lived it. You earned it. You deserve it. You’re an incredibly talented man. It’s about time everyone says, ‘You know what. Give it to the winner.’ "
Sylvester who Mickey credits with helping him resurrect his career, also adds that he wasn’t at all surprised to see his buddy getting award noms for his role in The Wrestler.
“I can totally believe it. It was just a matter of time. He’s a tough a** guy," he says. "He’s old school… Eventually someone was going to do a story that captures his heart, his plight and his biography."
As for his own next steps, Rambo funs should get excited – he’s coming back.
"We are doing another Rambo, but the conflict is whether to do it in America or a foreign country," Sylvester reveals.

U2 frontman and chronic sunglass wearer Bono loves his buddy Al Gore, but says that Uncle Al can be a bit of a drag, according to Rush & Molloy. "It’s like being with an Irish priest. You start to confess your sins: ‘Father Al, I am not just a noise polluter, I am a noise-polluting, diesel-soaking, Gulfstream-flying rock star. I’m going to kick the habit.I’m trying, Father Al, but oil has been very good for me — those convoys of articulated lorries, petrochemical products, hair gel."

Yo Adrian, I didn’t take no steroids! Sylvester Stallone told Time magazine that he took Human Growth Hormone to bulk up for his most recent go as Rambo. Said Stallone of the magical HGH, "HGH is nothing. Anyone who calls it a steroid is grossly misinformed." He went on to say, reports Page Six, "Testosterone to me is so important for a sense of well-being when you get older. Everyone over 40 years old would be wise to investigate it because it increases the quality of your life. Mark my words. In 10 years, it will be over the counter."

As Vietnam war veteran John Rambo, Sylvester Stallone has caused a lot of destruction, but none of the on-screen brutality can compare to the very real one he witnessed while shooting John Rambo, the fourth installment of the series, along the precarious border of Thailand and Burma.
“[There’s] a full-scale genocide that’s been going on with a cloud of mystery over it because the Burmese are so rich,” Sly tells Entertainment Tonight in an interview to air Friday. “It’s the most brutal regime in the world and the most secretive. It has an oppressive regime that keep[s] all [riches] for themselves. Everyone is forced into drugs or prostitution or slavery."
Dismemberment and cannibalism were prevalent, the actor says, and the film crew itself wasn’t exempt from these deadly situations. “We were on the Salween River and we were told to get out because we were going to be shot. All the people you see in the movie are real Burmese refugees. When it was announced that (a Burmese man) would be playing the pirate in the movie, his parents were jailed and his niece was savagely raped by the army."
But through all the violence, they managed to complete the action flick, which will hit theaters on Jan. 25, 2008, and the 61-year-old assures “it’s the best of all the Rambos," if only for its social message.
"It was a tough shoot, but I like doing it at my age. As you get older you have something to prove, so you push yourself. I wanted to do one more but I also wanted to touch on something that has been going on for 60 years. It’s the longest civil war in the world. The most important thing is you provide entertainment but you also put a light on this savage existence that the people in Burma have to live."
For the complete interview, check out ET on Friday.
