Sylvester Stallone has been active in the front line for more than 40 years since the movies “Rocky” and “Rambo” became big hits worldwide. He became paralyzed and had a speech impediment, and was said to have been bullied as a boy.

Stallone’s father was Italian and a hairdresser who ran a chain of hair salons, while his mother held various titles as an astrologer, dancer and promoter of women’s wrestling.

Born of a Sylvester Stallone medical error

A gynecologist mishandled forceps and pulled Stallone’s face with forceps. The nerve on the left side of his face was reportedly damaged, resulting in paralysis of the lower left side of his face, especially the lips, tongue, and chin.

In particular, his left lip drooped and he had a speech impediment.

Sylvester Stallone, bullied since childhood

As a result, Stallone, who had a distinctive face and a lisp, was always bullied and became an introvert.

When Stallone was a child, he dreamed of being a superhero and wore a superhero costume under his school uniform. There is also an anecdote that he jumped out of the window of his room to fly like Superman, and he seems to have been a boy who liked to fantasize.

In 1957, when he was 11 years old, his parents divorced and he began to lead a sloppy life.

Stallone, who had been bullied as a student, saw the movie “Hercules” (1958) and admired the masculinity of the bodybuilder and movie actor Steve Reeves, who starred in the film, and became a manly star like Steve Reeve. I started dreaming bodybuilding.

However, Stallone didn’t have enough money to buy tools, so he stole car parts from the local junkyard and made his own training equipment to get a muscular body.

Sylvester Stallone Studying in Switzerland was a turning point

Stallone, who was not very well behaved when he was a student, was rejected by 14 universities in the United States.

After graduating from high school, she enrolled in hairdressing school but dropped out. However, in 1965, at the age of 18, her mother, who was in trouble, sent Stallone to study at a university in Switzerland. There, he met theater and became interested in acting, and decided to become an actor in earnest.

After returning to the United States, he moved to Florida, which was far away from New York where he was born and raised, and enrolled in the theater department of the University of Miami, where he acted on stage as an actor and wrote a script as an assignment.

However, neither his acting nor the script was noticed at all, and Mr. Stallone decided to jump into the movie world to compete and dropped out of Miami University Theater Department.

Sylvester Stallone into the world of movies

In 1969, when he was 23, he dreamed of becoming a big star.

and return to New York.

I received auditions one after another, but I was only rejected. (During that time, Stallone spent his days making ends meet with extras and bit parts, but he couldn’t pay his rent, was kicked out of his apartment, and spent weeks homeless at a bus stop in New York.)

In order to make a living, he even unwillingly appeared on the stage of pornographic films and adult plays.

Sylvester Stallone From porn actor to [Rocky]

Stallone, who has become homeless, found an article recruiting pornographic actors while looking for a job. Although the performance fee was a meager $200 (about 21,000 yen), he decided to perform for the sake of living.

In 1970, at the age of 24, he appeared in softcore porn “Party at Kitty and Studs”.

Also, in 1971, he earned money by appearing on the stage of the adult play “Score” at a small off-Broadway theater, but he continued to live in extreme poverty.

In such a poor life, finally, in 1974, his performance in the movie “Youth in Brooklyn” was evaluated. Then he moved to Hollywood and in 1975, he was selected as a semi-leader in the movie “Death Race 2000”.

However, after that, just like his New York days, it was difficult to pass the audition in Hollywood, and the difficult days continued again. (He failed auditions more than 50 times.)

Stallone was also in charge of the screenplay for the breakout work Rocky.

1975 boxing world heavyweight title match “Muhammad Ali vs. Chuck Wepner”.

I got inspired by watching the TV broadcast. As soon as I started writing, I finished writing the script for “Rocky” without sleeping for three days.

Also, cash-strapped Stallone had to sell his dog for $50.

Mr. Stallone immediately brought the script, which he put his extraordinary passion into, to his agent, but…

It seems that the script for “Rocky” was ridiculed, and even if I tried to sell it, no one would buy it easily. When Stallone casually told the producers about the script of “Rocky”, the producers became interested and immediately read the script, and the producers praised it very much. It is said that he wanted to buy the script, and was offered a price of $75,000, which was a bargain at the time.

Stallone agreed to sell the script for ‘Rocky’.

I won’t sell the script unless I’m playing Rocky

Eventually the producers gave in and Stallone landed the lead role in his own script.

I want to buy back a dog that I previously sold. He went to the man’s house he sold it to, but he refused and gave him $3,000 to get it back. By the way, the man who sold the dog also appeared in “Rocky”.
