Sylvester Stallone has enthralled viewers for over five decades with his iconic action films like First Blood and Rambo and received an array of accolades for his power-packed performances, including a Golden Globe Award, a Critics’ Choice Award, two BAFTA Awards, and three Academy Award nominations.
Sly struggled at the beginning of his career but cemented himself as a force to be reckoned with after starring in the 1976 Rocky – a movie he also wrote.
Stallone grew up in an abusive home and shared a complicated relationship with his parents, Jackie and Frank Stallone Sr. While he faced abuse from both his parents, his father, in particular, was extensively violent.
