🥊

Anthony Ippolito & Stephan James star in the new film, ‘I Play Rocky’ about Sylvester Stallone's fight to write and star in the 1976 classic film, 'Rocky'. When chatting with the cast, Lainey picked their brains about portraying real-life people and if Stephan had any advice for him. (Stephan portrayed Jesse Owens in the 2016 film, ‘Race’, which won him a Canadian Screen Award for Best Actor! 🏆

Stephen reveals Anthony was just so “locked in” adding, “I don’t even know what I could offer.” While Anthony shares with Lainey how inspired he's been by Stephan’s work and shares that it was, “really cool to be able to do this with him.” 👏

‘I Play Rocky’ is in select theaters Friday and nationwide November 20th! 🎥
