Sylvester Stallone(Rambo) At 70, Facts About The Rocky Star. Drop A Wish. by Explorers(m): 10:42pm On Jul 05, 2016
*. Sylvester Gardenzio Stallone born July 6, 1946 is an American actor, screenwriter, producer, and director.


*. Part of his face is paralysed. Sylvester is famous for his snarling look and slightly slurred speech a result of complications his mother faced during his birth, as obstetricians had to use two pairs of forceps, which accidentally severed a facial nerve causing paralysis in the lower left side of his face, one of his eyelid, including parts of his lip, tongue, and chin.



*. He grew up playing Polo. Stallone may like to play characters with rough upbringings, but he was no boxer in his youth. His father made a tidy sum of money with his hair salon business and encouraged his son to take part in the posh sport.


*. He tried to fly like Superman. As a schoolboy he would wear a superhero costume under his school clothes. One time he tried to fly out a window with only an open umbrella to break his fall, resulting in breaking his collarbone.


*. He was expelled from 14 schools. Sly was always getting into trouble at Catholic school. Whether fighting, committing arson or stealing nun’s crucifixes, he ended up get expelled from 14 schools. So his mother Jackie decided to send him off to boarding school in Switzerland.


*. He wrote Rocky in three days. Stallone bashed out his first iconic boxer movie in just three days and twenty hours. Broke at the time, Sly turned down the $350,000 offered for the script without him starring. Instead he took a worse deal despite having a pregnant wife and just $100 in the bank.


*. He was so broke he sold his dog. Before hitting it big with Rocky, the star sold his dog Butkus so he could feed his family. Six months later he asked for Butkus back because he wanted to have him in the movie. The dog went on to star in two Rocky films and appears in the credits as Butkis Stallone.


*. He’s held the Guinness World Record for most violent movie 1988’s Rambo III broke the record with a blood-thirsty 221 acts of violence and 108 deaths. Incredibly the 2008 follow up, simply titled Rambo, managed to beat its predecessor with 236 deaths, coming to 2.5 deaths every minute.


*. He’s the most Golden Raspberry nominated star ever. Sly has been nominated for an Oscar three times, only just missing out this year for Creed to Bridge of Spies’ Mark Rylance. However he’s the only person to have been nominated in the worst film awards 30 times, winning ten of them. His awards include four worst actor awards and a Worst Actor of the Century award.


*. Known for physically demanding roles, and his willingness to do a majority of his own stunts, Stallone has suffered numerous injuries during his acting career. For a scene in Rocky IV, he told Dolph Lundgren "Punch me as hard as you can in the chest." "Next thing I know, I was in intensive care at St. John's Hospital for four days. It's stupid!"
While filming a fight scene with actor Steve Austin inThe Expendables, he broke his neck, which required the insertion of a metal plate.


*. His mother’s a 94-year-old astrologer. Sly’s mother Jackie is still going strong as an astrologer, having previously been a dancer and women’s wrestling promoter. Not shy to plastic surgery like her son, Jackie appeared on the UK’s Celebrity Big Brother in 2005, and Through the Keyhole in 2007.


Happy Birthday Legend!!!

Kindly drop a wish, thanks.

Early picture of Stallone.

That un-rime lips of his has been there since his young days..
..

Stallion is the name of a male horse while his name is stallone, almost sound alike.. I think that's why he's strong and fragile like male horse smiley

His first bloods movie parts are evergreen movies likewise like Rocky.

I watched one of his movies yesterday on Mnet, he revenged the death of his brother, I forgot the title of the film.

Happy Birthday Stallone!
More years ahead Legend.....!
