NEW YORK (AP) - A video of a toddler mimicking Sylvester Stallone's moves while watching a clip of the training montage in "Rocky II" has earned kudos from the actor himself.

The video posted to Facebook by an Ohio dad shows the diaper-clad boy doing one-armed pushups and pretending to work a speed bag, chop wood and lift weights in sync with the big screen boxer.

Ok guys. Here is the video that everyone wants me to put back up of our little boy Charlie training with his favorite boxer. It brings a smile to our face every time he asks to "workout with Rocky". He takes his workouts very seriously. If you enjoy it as much as we do, please feel free to share it. Who knows, maybe it will make it back to Sly. Please keep the negative comments to yourself. No we do not allow him to watch the fight scenes and yes his tv time is very limited. It's a 2 minute clip and he's been training for the last year!! Happy Birthday Sylvester Stallone!!

The video has received millions of views online. Stallone reposted it to Instagram on Wednesday with a note saying "this kid makes me so proud." He jokes that he may have to fight the boy in "Rocky 10."

Stallone earned a Golden Globe earlier this year for reprising his most famous role as Rocky Balboa in last year's "Creed."
