Being one of the last action stars from the 1980s to still be employed in Hollywood, Sylvester Stallone expressed his pride in his status.

During the Sunday Toronto International Film Festival premiere of his latest documentary, “Sly,” Stallone was questioned by Entertainment Tonight Canada regarding his thoughts on the series that pays tribute to his career.

“You can’t be prepared for this. Especially with the longevity of this career is mind-blowing. It’s just mind-blowing because I don’t know how much longer you can wait,” Stallone said. “Society is changing, the commerciality in cinema, it’s faster. So longevity would become a premium.”

He continued: “I consider myself like the last of dinosaurs, you know what I mean? And I’m very proud of that. But yeah, you have to really think about that. It’s incredible. I mean it’s been almost 50 years… So I don’t take it for granted, but I really want to spend it with my loved ones. The majority of what’s left.”

Stallone attended the event with his wife of 26 years, Jennifer Flavin. Stallone said that at this point in his life, he is happy that he gets the opportunity to share his life with Flavin rather than touring the world alone.

Say, “I want to go home and talk to her about this tonight,” as you glance over my shoulder. You must give something up. Life is not worth living if one does not have someone to share it with.”Two of the three daughters that Stallone and Flavin have are pursuing careers in film.Despite appearing in many films, Stallone is most recognized for his action roles in the “The Expendables,” “Judge Dredd,” “Rocky,” and “Rambo” franchises.This Friday, the eagerly anticipated “Expendables 4″—which stars Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, and newcomers Megan Fox and 50 Cent—will hit theaters.Netflix will launch “Sly” on November 3.
