HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Sylvester Stallone is flexing his muscles again.
The 61-year-old actor says he used human growth hormone to get buff for his new “Rambo” movie, which opened in theaters last weekend. And now the jacked-up star is defending his training technique for the action flick.
“HGH (human growth hormone) is nothing,” Stallone tells Time magazine in its Feb. 4 issue. “Anyone who calls it a steroid is grossly misinformed.”
Because it is nearly undetectable, HGH has become a substance of great concern to major league baseball and other sports currently battling allegations of rampant doping.
“Testosterone to me is so important for a sense of well-being when you get older,” the “Rocky” star says. “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.”
Actually, mark my words Sly. In 10 years we’ll all be watching “Rocky X.” Come to think of it, that beats the hell out of “Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot II.”
