After the movie Creed swept the awards at Friday night’s NAACP Image Awards, Sylvester Stallone apologized via Instagram for the spelling errors he had made in his victory post.
“Presenting CREED at the NASCP Image awards. Great night, great audience! Our director, RYan Cooglar and Michael B Jordon won!” Stallone posted on his account, with a photo of himself presenting the film at the ceremony.
Just hours after the initial celebratory post, Stallone apologized for is spelling mistakes. “Sorry for the miss spelling of NAACP and Jordan… Confidentially, besides everything else, I am slightly dyslexic,” Stallone wrote.
Stallone’s performance in Creed is recognized with a nomination for an Academy Award in the best supporting actor category.
Stallone explained his view of the role: “It’s a character that I love and never thought I’d play again. I didn’t think it would resonate like it did, especially with a newer generation.”
