†With my original buddies from the first Rocky … CUFF and LINK, now about 44 years old!†Stallone captioned a selfie he posted to Instagram, featuring the two slow-pals frolicking in a tank.
Cuff and Link who were first introduced to us in the 1976 movie Rocky as he showed them love interest Adrian Pennino (Talia Shire) as, “the exotic animals I was telling you about. These are my friends, Cuff and Link,†have in fact gotten to star in other Stallone movies. The two turtles made a comeback to the big screens in Stallone’s 2018 film Creed II.
