American actor Sylvester Stallone left a bright trace in the history of cinema. He proved to be not only a real athlete who has achieved significant success, but also a talented actor who is able to skillfully play a variety of roles. His life, like that of other Hollywood stars, was rather interesting and intense.
One of the grandmothers, being Jewish, Stallone was born in Odessa, so the actor has Jewish-Ukrainian roots. And Italian, of course – on the paternal side. His parents came to the United States as immigrants. In his youth, he did not differ exemplary behavior, for which he was expelled from ten different schools. Inspired by sports in his youth, for lack of money for going to the gym, he adapted various heavy trash found at a junkyard for power projectiles. Stallone’s signature crooked smile is the result of damaged facial nerves. They were damaged by an inexperienced doctor during childbirth, when the future actor was just getting ready to be born.
Prior to his acting career, Silvestre managed to work as a ticket collector, cell cleaner at a city zoo, a janitor, a bouncer, and even a professional gambler. The cinematic journey began for him from a porn movie shoot in 1970. Subsequently, a version of the movie with censored episodes was released, so that the movie turned into erotica. The original version of the film has not been preserved. The script for the famous film “Rocky” Stallone wrote himself, locked himself in a room without windows. Once the Australian authorities forced the actor to pay a fine of 18 thousand dollars for the transportation into the country of steroids allowed in the United States at that time, but prohibited here. Despite the fact that the fame of Sylvester Stallone came after the release of the movie “Rocky”, he got rich only after the shooting of “Rocky-3”. Then he received for this role more than 10 million dollars.
Stallone as of 2018 is married for the third time. Altogether he has four children. At one time, the actor released his own magazine, each cover of which was decorated with his own face. The release did not last long. Since 2011, Stallone has been behind the release of his own perfumes, glasses and fashionable clothes. He, like some others, managed to turn his famous name into a popular brand. Despite his age, the actor does not lag behind life and even keeps his own Instagram. A little known fact: Stallone is a lefty. However, with his right hand he also wields very deftly, having developed an appropriate skill during sports. Among all male actors, he more than anyone else was nominated for the Golden Raspberry anti-prize. In total, he has four anti-prizes and nine nominations for it.
