LOS ANGELES, Dec. 15 (UPI) -- Actress Talia Shire revealed at the premiere of "Rocky Balboa" in Los Angeles why she was not in the film -- to give the Rocky character a sense of loss.
In an exclusive interview, Shire explained to "Access Hollywood" that her character, Adrian, is not in the latest Rocky film because she and Sylvester Stallone decided that it would be best if Rocky had a longing and loss as a widower.
The interview will air on Dec. 14.
"You know Sylvester and I talked about it over a year ago and I think he was correct in wanting to design Rocky as a widower so he comes back with this kind of great longing and loss," Shire told "Access Hollywood."
She added: "I think Adrian is actually a presence in so many ways she is still there. She's a part of his heart, so I'm very anxious to see it. I read it, I thought it was great, again great on the page because he is a great writer. So I'm kind of excited about seeing it. I am in his corner always."
