It looks like Sylvester Stallone’s second Oscar nomination has made him rather nostalgic.

Sly was first nominated for an Academy Award in 1977 for his leading role in Rocky, and scored his second nod this year for resuming the same role in Creed.

Now the actor is showing off some of his favourite pictures from the original film, captioning this one: “Flashback! Rocky versus Apollo Creed! 1976… One of my favourite photos.”

 

He admitted he was enjoying this reflective time, captioning this pic: “Again nostalgia time. I really like looking back at this moment in time…”

 

He also shared some insight into what the shoot was like, writing: “Showing you some rare shots from behind the camera!… It got very physical which was great for the film.”

 

He carried on digging through the album, sharing this one with the caption: “Flashback ! More rare shots between Rocky vs Apollo. 1976...

 

 

This one was captioned: “Flashback! Feeling Apollo’s power! 1976″

 

Sly has already scored a Golden Globe for his role in Creed, the seventh film in the Rocky franchise. Picking up his gong, he said: “I want to thank my imaginary friend Rocky Balboa for being the best friend I ever had.”
