  • He Once Clashed With A Director Over The Color Of Boots on Random Fascinating Stories About Sylvester Stallone, Hollywood's Most Macho Sta

    (#8) He Once Clashed With A Director Over The Color Of Boots

    In the aftermath of Judge Dredd, the 1995 release with minimal box-office success and comparable critical reviews, the movie's star and director took turns blaming each other for the failure. 

    Director Danny Cannon blamed Stallone for being difficult, claiming the two went around in circles for weeks about the boots the title character would wear, noting, "It’s tough. In the comic book he has green boots, Sly wanted green boots. Talking him out of that one was weeks," making the experience like ”putting your head down and slamming the brick wall.”

    Stallone defended himself, stating, "You have to bite the bullet sometimes...You see the film going in a certain direction that you don’t like, but you can’t sit there and completely impose yourself.”

  • He Kept - And Still Has - The Turtles From 'Rocky' on Random Fascinating Stories About Sylvester Stallone, Hollywood's Most Macho Sta

    (#9) He Kept - And Still Has - The Turtles From 'Rocky'

    Right before Rocky became such a success, Sylvester Stallone had to sell his dog, Butkus. He sold Butkus for $40, later repurchasing him with money he made from selling his screenplay. Stallone paid $15,000 to get his dog back - an amount that was, "worth every penny." 

    Butkus made his way onto the big screen, playing Rocky Balboa's dog, but the movie also featured two turtle companions. Named Cuff and Link, the turtles went home with Stallone after the first Rocky and he has continued to care for them.

    Both Cuff and Link appeared in Creed 2, 44 years after their onscreen debut. 

  • He Encouraged Dolph Lundgren To Knock Him Out In 'Rocky IV' on Random Fascinating Stories About Sylvester Stallone, Hollywood's Most Macho Sta

    (#1) He Encouraged Dolph Lundgren To Knock Him Out In 'Rocky IV'

    While doing press for Rambo V: Last Blood in Cannes, France, in May 2019, Stallone recalled his first interactions with Dolph Lundgren. As the antagonist in Rocky IV, audiences weren't supposed to like Ivan Drago and, from Stallone's recount, he didn't like Lundgren either.

    This was by design. When Stallone first saw him, he thought Lundgren, "was like the real Terminator, and I go, ‘I hate this friggin’ guy.' He’s just too perfect, too good looking. And if I loathe him, I’m sure the world will. He’s not really, but he looks like something that’s a thousand years in the future. This is not a guy you see waiting on your table."

    Stallone knew Lundgren was perfect to play Drago, the ideal "superhuman being... someone who would be overwhelming... someone who is literally perfect. Indestructible. Shoulders, calves, forearms, giant butt, neck, back, everything." One day, while shooting, Lundgren hit Stallone, "so hard he almost stopped my heart." As a result, Stallone challenged his co-star:

    I told him, "Why don’t we just do it? Just try to knock me out. Really cut loose as hard as you can." That was a really stupid thing to say. Next thing I know, I’m on a low-altitude plane to the emergency room, and I’m in intensive care for four days.

  • He Was Voted 'Most Likely End Up In The Electric Chair' on Random Fascinating Stories About Sylvester Stallone, Hollywood's Most Macho Sta

    (#2) He Was Voted 'Most Likely End Up In The Electric Chair'

    In the midst of his parents' troubled marriage, Sylvester Stallone spent his first five years living in foster homes in Hell's Kitchen. As a young boy, Stallone's distinct facial features resulted in bullying, prompting him to get into numerous fights. He was suspended often and had poor grades, eventually getting kicked out of several schools.

    A testament to his bad behavior, Stallone once said, "When I was in junior high school, the teachers voted me the student most likely to end up in the electric chair."

    After his parents divorced, Stallone moved to Philadelphia to live with his mother. There, he went to a school for troubled youth. Later, as a "straight-D student," his mother sent him to a private college in Switzerland. He studied drama before transferring to the University of Miami, where he focused on the dramatic arts and began writing.

  • He Had His Own Men’s Magazine Called ‘Sly’ on Random Fascinating Stories About Sylvester Stallone, Hollywood's Most Macho Sta

    (#7) He Had His Own Men’s Magazine Called ‘Sly’

    In 2004, Sylvester Stallone started his own magazine, appropriately named Sly. As a men's health and fitness publication, Sly targeted readers ages 35 to 54 and, according to publisher spokesperson, Stallone was going to "be actively involved in the editorial process every month."

    The first issues of Sly came out in 2005, but not without controversySly had the same name as an internet magazine, a women's magazine focused on shoes, bags, and accessories. Judge Richard Casey called the site "a shoe fetish" publication when he ruled Sly could remain on newsstands. The online Sly parlayed into a $1 million lawsuit against the judge. 

    Unfortunately, the magazine had a very short, very limited run.

  • He Was Busted With 48 Vials Of Human Growth Hormone on Random Fascinating Stories About Sylvester Stallone, Hollywood's Most Macho Sta

    (#10) He Was Busted With 48 Vials Of Human Growth Hormone

    In 2007, Sylvester Stallone was found guilty of carrying 48 vials of human growth hormones (HGH) into Australia. The vials included both testosterone and Jintropin. 

    Jintropin, used by Stallone to give his "body a boost," is not approved for use in either the United States nor Australia. When caught with the substance, Stallone insisted it was for personal use. Authorities found Stallone to be contrite and, after a significant fine, decided there was nothing, "further the court could or should do in order to deter Mr. Stallone from committing these offenses again."

    In an interview the following year, Stallone addressed the charges, noting he, "put in years and years and years of hard labor to stay in shape... The most important thing about HGH - and I think more people should be aware of this - is it really takes off the wear and tear that your body takes. The power to recuperate is very, very limited. So all it does is expedite." He cautioned, however, that it wasn't the path to fitness and health. "If that were the case," he said, "everyone would be a superhuman."
