Swedish action veteran Dolph Lundgren slates Sylvester Stallone as his "mentor" - because the Rambo star gave him his first big Hollywood break. Stallone hired Lundgren to play fierce Russian boxer Ivan Drago in the classic 1980's hit Rocky IV - a role that led to a string of high-profile action projects.
However, The Masters Of The Universe star wasn't used to the excesses of Hollywood, and regrets enjoying the trappings of fame instead of focusing on his acting career. The 50-year-old says, "I'm grateful to Stallone because on Rocky IV he took me under his wing and acted like my mentor. We trained together and (he) showed me the ropes."
"I was just a kid from a small place in Sweden and suddenly I'm making all this money. So I enjoyed myself. My only regret is I didn't plan my career as meticulously as some of my peers."
