We lost an icon. Carl Weathers was a phenomenal talent, a true professional, and a dear friend. All my sympathies and love to his family. I loved working with him on Predator and then celebrating that film with him at various conventions in the ensuing years.
Thank you, Carl. pic.twitter.com/29OJoe8qcu— Jesse Ventura (@GovJVentura) February 2, 2024

RIP Carl Weathers. Apollo Creed is the greatest villain-to-hero arc in history, a role he infused w/ soul, humor & rage. A brilliant & versatile actor whose Arrested Development & Happy Gilmore turns are almost equally iconic. May there be only free BK refills in the afterlife pic.twitter.com/n0EG54zKG4
