The name Ro Knight might become a household one by the end of Monday.
That’s because the nine-year-old decided to recite one of Sylvester Stallone’s best Rocky speeches to the actor himself while Stallone was in Philadelphia for “Rocky Day” on Sunday.
Knight went viral thanks to the video of him doing the speech — which Stallone instantly recognized and the actor did some of the lines with him — from Rocky Balboa that Stallone delivers to his son in the movie, played by Milo Ventimiglia.
Watch the whole thing below and compare it to the original — and tell me that doesn’t put a smile on your face:
