Sylvester Stallone appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night to promote The Expendables 2, and he discussed the death of his son, Sage, who died suddenly at age 36.

Leno asked Stallone if being on a press tour helped take his mind off the sad news that was going on in his personal life.

“Yeah, when life hits you pretty hard you can go into a dark corner,” he said. “Or you can say, ‘Okay, fine, I’m going to find something to focus on,’ you have your children, your wife, you try and be supportive to other people too, because I know a lot of people go through [losing a child], and they don’t get the attention that I do. And I feel for them, because it’s one club that no one wants to be a member of, that’s for sure. But I think about his memory, he was a lovely boy and I’ll always treasure that.”
