Thus, young Sylvester was considered a bully, attended a specialized school for difficult teenagers.

Returning to America, Sylvester Stallone enters the University of Miami for a specialty "dramatic art", finally deciding to connect life with the scene. With a few months left before graduation, Stallone leaves his alma mater and goes to conquer the theaters of New York, but to no avail. Stallone's in the movies, too. The first project in the filmography of the young actor is Italian stallion 1970.

Directors of other films refuse the guy because of problems with speech. Only after long classes with speech therapist to the actor began to show attention producers and directors. Having played a cameo in the film "Lords of Flatbush", Sylvester moves to Hollywood. Here Stallone tries to succeed with his own scripts, but for a long time unsuccessfully.

The situation changed when Sylvester offered the film company Chartoff-Winkler Productions a script for the film about a boxing match. The contract was concluded on a minuscule for Hollywood terms, but the 1976 film "Rocky", where Stallone plays the title role, brought and millions, and, most importantly, fame and popularity. The dry, trained unknown medium-height actor (177 cm) perfectly fit into the image of the boxing star.

The success was so significant that the actor was inspired to create several sequels to this film. Three years later, Rocky 2 was filmed, and numbered sequels continued to be released in 1982, 1985 and 1990.

Also on the wave of popularity of a strong and purposeful character was shot another cult film with Stallone in the title role - "Rambo. First Blood," the relevance of which is underlined by the recently ended Vietnam War. This project also received numerous sequels, which increased stallone's popularity: sequels were released in 1985, 1988 and 2008.

In this way, however, Sylvester has driven himself into the framework of one image. Subsequent films, such as "Night Hawks," "Cobra," "Staying Alive" and others, showed the viewer the same strong man fighting injustice.

Stallone first looked like a dramatic actor only after the release of the 1989 movie "Tango and Cash", where he demonstrated the other side of the strong man. Sylvester appeared as a tough cop, but defeats lawlessness not only with his fists, but more intellect and charm. Supported the drama of the actor another famous film-besteller "The Climber", where his character is shown as a psychologically broken man, looking for a way out of the most difficult situation.

In 1991, Stallone revealed a new facet of acting talent - starring in the comedy "Oscar". The film took the first places in the American box office, which, however, did not help the picture to pay off. Two years later, the actor again tried himself in the humorous genre - in the sci-fi comedy "The Destroyer" played the usual role of a brutal policeman, but with a comedic hue.

In 2006, Stallone forced viewers to look at the familiar Rocky from a different angle, shooting the movie "Rocky Balboa" instead of the numbered "Rocky-6". In the new picture, the main character has aged and left boxing, lives a quiet life of a widower and brings up his son, but circumstances force the former boxer to return to the ring.

A similar plot gets and the sequel "Rambo IV" 2008. John Rambo - a tired war veteran who reluctantly returns to combat and transfers knowledge to new generations. In Stallone's later creative biography, the veteran's image becomes central to many films.

Not much is known about Stallone's family life. He is quite a good impressionist artist, but he is engaged in painting as a hobby. Sylvester's paintings sell well.

The Hollywood star maintains an Instagram account, where she posts photos and videos from filming and social events.

The main character of "Escape Plan" continues to break into security systems and bypass dodgy traps in the 3rd part of the action movie "Escape Plan: Devil's Station." The only difference is that Sylvester Stallone will not get out of prison, and save the kidnapped daughter of a big businessman. The film is scheduled to premiere in mid-2019.

The drama "Point of Return" has already appeared on digital media. Stallone played a police investigator looking for $20 million.

The budget of the films is not rubber, the appetites of the performers grew, and the producers positioned the franchise as economical.

Rumor has it that Stallone, who is "The Expendables" in general, and owes fame and popularity, does not want to work further on the principle of "but cheap." In addition to the financial issue, the disagreements touched on the scripted intricacies, the choice of the director and the company responsible for special effects. Sylvester's famous friends, who participated in the filming from the first film, have already announced that they too will refuse to continue, if there will be no lead actor.
