Brooke's knockout time at Creed premiere

STARSTRUCK Brooke Coldwell really did get the red carpet treatment at one of the big showbiz nights of the year.

The 11-year-old pupil at Bramley Sunnyside Junior School went along with dad Dave to the European premiere of blockbuster movie Creed - the latest Rocky movie to hit the silver screen - at Leicester Square’s Empire on Tuesday.

She rubbed shoulders with heavyweight stars such as Rocky legend Sylvester Stallone, lead actor Michael B Jordan and co-star Tessa Thompson.

Boxing promoter and trainer Dave, who lives at Woodlaithes Village, had been invited to the big night after training good friend Tony Bellew to the European Cruiserweight title in London in December.

Bellew also stars in the movie, playing “Pretty” Ricky Conlan.

Brooke said she had only found out about her night with the stars the previous day.

“I was quite jealous because I knew my dad was going but then he said I could go, too,” she said. “It was amazing. I know Tony already but I got to talk to Michael B Jordan and Tessa Thompson and they were really nice.

“Sylvester Stallone just walked past me, but not everyone can say they were that close to him.

“I’ve been telling all my friends at school about it today. It’s something I’ll never forget.”

Dave said: “I train Tony and he’s one of the main characters in the new movie.

“We got the invite to the premiere and I took Brooke along. Mingling with the A-listers was something she’ll never forget!

“So many big names were there, not just from the boxing world, but serious actors and personalities from the music industry and Brooke was able to meet a lot of them.

“We were sat in front of Thandie Newton, she was really nice too.”

The film, which opens in the UK today, has already had great reviews and been a smash in the US.

And Dave said he wouldn’t put it past Tony landing more acting roles in future.

“He’s done a really great job,” said Dave. “It was lovely to see him on the red carpet and to be there with him.

“Tony’s got a long time left in boxing but afterwards, you never know.

“Look at what happened to Vinnie Jones after he retired from football. No-one would have seen that coming.”
