Sylvester Stallone will be hosting a special live “Rocky” Watch Party on Facebook today with MGM Studios.

The special live screening will bring back the nostalgia and glory of 1976 classic “Rocky” with the man himself, and he will be on camera to talk about the film with fans from around the world.

The live-stream is part of a new initiative called ‘Screening Room With the Stars' - supporting a number of foundations that are working behind-the-scenes to help people affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

Viewers that participate in the live screenings will be able to making donations and send in their questions to Rocky himself! And that’s not all.

Every week there will be a new screening with other legendary Hollywood actors who will join the initiative, which was put together by the Creative Artists Agency.

Sylvester Stallone has a message

The “Rocky” kickoff will commence today at 4pm PT, and stream live on the MGM Studios’ Facebook Page.

Over the last several weeks, movie stars, Hollywood directors, singers and entertainment professionals across the industry have been doing what they can to provide a timeout for people isolating at home through different online initiatives.

Actress Zoe Saldana shared her phone number with her fans on Instagram and started a community group chat, where people could connect with her and share their experiences from the lockdown - providing positive inspiration for people stuck at home.

James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan also recently hosted a watchalong with Esquire UK, providing live commentary on 1995 classic “Goldeneye,” sharing his memories of the film shoot from his home.

And over the past several weeks a host of stars from Jimmy Kimmel through to Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez have been hosting live Zoom calls and Instagram interviews on a range of topics from films to mental health.
