If you are a movie fan, you should be familiar with the name Sylvester Stallone, as a representative of Hollywood action stars, Stallone can be said to be a well-known figure in the film industry in the 80s of the last century, and now he is also one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood, with a single film remuneration of more than 20 million US dollars.
His value has already exceeded 400 million US dollars, and the number of luxury cars under his name is dazzling, what Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Bugatti Veyron, Bentley Roadster, Ford Cobra, Rolls-Royce Phantom Ah... There are also several classic cars, which is completely enough for a car show.
However, most people may only see his present brilliance and beauty, but do not understand his past. In 1946, Stallone was born in a slum in New York, USA, due to difficult childbirth at birth, he was injured by medical midwifery forceps, resulting in the paralysis of part of the muscles of the left cheek, which not only caused Stallone's left eyelid and left lip to have obvious sagging, but also to speak slurred.
Stallone's father worked in a beauty school, once dreamed of becoming a singer, but also had some potential to be a singer, but the dream was not realized; the mother was a dancer in a nightclub, when there was some opportunity to make a name, but Stallone's birth prevented the development of her career to some extent, the parents' ideals were frustrated, and they had to be busy with their livelihoods, so they rarely cared about the young Stallone, usually accompanied by stallone, and only on weekends could they meet with their parents.
According to Stallone's own recollection, his childhood was always full of contradictions and quarrels, until 1957, when Stallone was 11 years old, his mother finally ran away from home, leaving him and his single father in the rebellious period of youth to rely on each other at home.
Four years later, the 15-year-old Stallone also left home, moved to Philadelphia with his mother, and attended a local private school, due to his academic performance was in a mess, and from time to time he did something out of the ordinary, Stallone was forced to transfer schools many times, and finally had to enter a high school for "problem" teenagers to study sports, and when he graduated, he also received a sports scholarship. Later, he worked as a sports coach in Switzerland and used his spare time to star in the student-created "Death of a Salesman", which ignited his enthusiasm for acting.
In 1969, Stallone entered the University of Miami to study theater, but eventually dropped out of school before finishing the course and went to New York to seek development, at first, he relied on odd jobs to supplement daily use, and later it was rumored that his mother believed that he would have a breakthrough in writing through divination, which prompted him to create the idea of writing a script. In addition, he did not forget to find some temporary small roles in the Broadway peripheral theater to exercise his acting skills.
By chance, Stallone watched a game of boxing king Ali, and what was surprising was that the young boxer who competed with Ali actually insisted on 15 rounds, which gave Stallone the inspiration for script creation, and after a period of hard work, he wrote the script "Rocky" in only 3 days, and then took the script around to find the interested director, persuade them to accept their script, and let him play the male lead.
It is said that there is also a "chicken soup story": there were 500 film companies in Hollywood at that time, but all 500 companies refused to hire him, and some people analyzed that the reason for his rejection may be because his speech was not clear enough, and he went back to read the newspaper every morning with a small pebble under his tongue, until the speech was clear and then began his second round of searching, however, the 500 film companies still did not accept him, and some people came up with the idea that it may be because he is too thin and does not match the boxers. So he insisted on doing fitness for a year, began the third interview, the result was still completely denied, the fourth round of interviews began, Stallone has created the script of "Rocky", he took the script to the east, and finally after 1855 rejections, a company accepted him, although the film was only 23,000 US dollars, but Stallone finally achieved his wish.
In 1976, "Rocky" successfully exceeded $225 million at the box office, becoming the top ten of the year, and won two awards at the 49th Academy Awards, Best Picture and Best Director, and Stallone himself was nominated for Best Actor and Best Screenwriter for his performance in the film, and has since become famous.
Year after year, Stallone has created a deep-rooted tough guy image on the screen, and the gross box office receipts of the "Rocky" series and "First Blood" series of movies have exceeded $2 billion. However, Stallone's acting skills have been repeatedly questioned by industry insiders, and he has been nominated for the "Golden Plum" award 31 times, including 10 awards, which are full of pejorative colors, usually rated as the worst film of the year, the worst actor and actress, and so on.
In 2016, however, he was disgraced with Rocky 7 (aka Quidditch). Unlike in the past, Stallone did not rely solely on muscles and action scenes to support a movie in "Quidditch", but the big show of inner drama, acting skills were finally recognized, won the 73rd Golden Globe Awards for Best Supporting Actor, and nominated for the 88th Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor, and was also shortlisted for the Redemption Award of the Golden Plum Award (the award is to reward those actors who have won the Golden Plum Award, but have become more and more courageous).
Like the bittersweet of career, Stallone in life also experienced a period of pain and torture before finally achieving happiness in his old age. He has three wives, two sons and three daughters, of which the eldest son born to his first wife, Sasha Sak, died suddenly in 2012 at the age of 36, and the youngest son has also suffered from autism since childhood.
Perhaps because of this, Stallone loves her three daughters, and these three golden flowers have slowly grown up and become three "charming" beauties, and Stallone is even called "national father-in-law" by everyone.
The eldest daughter was born in 1996, suffering from congenital heart disease, two months old through heart repair surgery to survive tenaciously, after growing up she is not only good-looking, but also a bully, boyfriend also handsome has a fight.
The second daughter, born in 1998, has become a contracted model and is well-known in the industry.
The youngest daughter was born in 2002, and although she is still in middle school, she has surpassed her father, Stallone.
Although Stallone was also a handsome man when he was young, it has to be said that the vast majority of the daughters' good genes still come from their mother Jennifer Philavin. Jennifer Philavin was a popular model in the United States when she was young, with a sweet appearance and a fiery figure, Stallone was almost 50 years old when she met her, and Jennifer was more than 20 years younger than him, when his acting career was not satisfactory, he did not expect to meet love, so he loved his wife very much.
In an interview, he also said that he had experienced love with Jennifer, and he could not even live without her. When he won the Golden Globe Award, Stallone stood on the podium and did not forget to sprinkle dog food, saying that he would give all the credit to his wife.
Today, he is 72 years old, but still active in the gym, from the large number of fitness videos exposed on the Internet, the old man plays with sports equipment or effortlessly, but it is really a sword that is not old.
