Dolph Lundgren is looking back at one of the most famous behind-the-scenes moments from “Rocky IV.”<\/p>\n

He recently confessed he still feels guilty for breaking Sylvester Stallone<\/a>\u2019s ribs during their legendary fight scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The action star was candid when asked during an appearance on “FOX & Friends” if he felt responsible for the accident, which happened during one of the film\u2019s most brutal sequences.<\/p>\n

“I didn\u2019t know it happened, we were both getting hit in that fight,” Lundgren said. “We shot for two weeks in Vancouver, and I got back to L.A. \u2026 the producer called and said, \u2018Hey, Dolph, you got two weeks off.\u2019 I said, \u2018That\u2019s great, what\u2019s going on?\u2019 \u2018Sly\u2019s in the hospital.\u2019 I found out that way.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lundgren, who played the Russian powerhouse Ivan Drago, admitted the news took him by surprise.<\/p>\n

“I did feel a little guilty, you know, he hit me too. He was the boss, I did what he told me, which was good. Go really hard with the body, you know those Russian uppercuts. I don\u2019t know if it was my body or exhaustion or my punches, I don\u2019t know, but he did get hurt. I\u2019m sorry about that,” he said.<\/p>\n

Before stepping into the role of Ivan Drago, Lundgren was following a very different path \u2014 one rooted in academics and engineering. He was a Fulbright Scholar studying at MIT.<\/p>\n

But his path to stardom<\/a> took a turn when he crossed paths with some of New York\u2019s biggest names.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lundgren explained how his career started with a chance encounter that led him to Hollywood.<\/p>\n

“I was in New York<\/a>, and I went out with this singer. I ended up going to [Studio] 54, meeting Andy Warhol, Michael Jackson and a few other people. I did some modeling, and then somebody said, \u2018You should try acting,’ because I was a karate champion in Europe,” Lundgren continued to share on “FOX & Friends.”<\/p>\n

The Swedish-born actor landed his first big role in “Rocky IV” and quickly cemented his place in the action-movie pantheon.<\/p>\n

“And one film I went up for was a boxing movie, it turned out to be \u2018Rocky IV.\u2019 I moved to Hollywood, I met Sly, and got that part and the rest was history. It\u2019s been like 95 films since, it has been a great ride.”<\/p>\n

Despite a career that spans nearly 100 films, Lundgren told “FOX & Friends” his favorite role to date was revisiting Ivan Drago in “Creed II<\/a>.” The film allowed him to explore a new side of his character in a father-son dynamic with Adonis Creed.<\/p>\n

“I like \u2018Creed II\u2019 actually,” Lundgren said. “I got a chance to play that character again \u2014 an older version, kind of a father-son relationship. I like that one.”<\/p>\n

From screen fights to spirits, Lundgren recently launched his brand, Hard Cut Vodka<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The actor-turned-entrepreneur said he was inspired to create his own vodka<\/a> after years of dissatisfaction with what was on the market.<\/p>\n

“Five years back, I couldn\u2019t find a vodka I liked, so my wife said, \u2018You should make your own \u2014 you\u2019re a chemical engineer. You\u2019ve played a Russian a few times, you\u2019re from Sweden.\u2019 I started that journey, and now here we are,” he explained.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
