Five decades have passed, actor Sylvester Stallone made his mark with three prominent long-term film franchises in Hollywood: Rocky, Rambo and The Expendables. But few people know that the name of this star who enriches American public life once rose from porn.
Being the senior generation of other muscular actors in Hollywood such as Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham, male artist Sylvester Stallone had to struggle with many jobs before falling in love with movies.
His childhood was unhappy when his parents divorced when the actor was only 11 years old. Due to his rebellious personality, his father at that time could no longer stand his disobedient son so he had to send him back to be raised by his biological mother in Philadelphia four years later.
Here, Sylvester Stallone cultivated his mind, won an acting scholarship in Switzerland and went straight to Europe to study. In 1969, Sly Stallone (another name for the actor) put aside his studies and returned to New York City with many ambitions about acting.
However, the young Italian-American Sylvester Stallone in the late 1960s struggled to find a job in B-grade shows on Broadway, experiencing many different jobs before landing his first role in the movie.
Karma. Unfortunately, the first role he took on was in a porn film where the actor had to perform naked in front of the camera called The Party at Kitty and Stud’s (1970).
The funny thing is that later, when Sly Stallone’s name rose thanks to the action film series, the filmmakers of this work took advantage of his name to “polish” the film, which had long since sunk into oblivion. re-showing it
Always eager to find a mainstream role where he can assert his strength is the constant desire of the actor born in 1946. In fact, after filming a pornographic work in 1970, Sylvester Stallone continued his life. Struggling in movies with works that didn’t really help him shine.
The 73-year-old actor shared in Playboy magazine (2011) that the reason he had to act in porn movies was because at that time he did not have enough money to pay rent and even aimed for robbery to survive.
With a salary of 200 USD for two days of performing in The Party at Kitty and Stud’s , the male artist was bored so for a long time he turned to writing movie scripts. Fate brought Sylvester Stallone to high-dose action and explosion movies, starting with the hit Rocky (1976).

If Rocky brought the name Sylvester Stallone into the capital of Hollywood and became known to the public for specializing in action films, the Rambo series that followed (starting from 1982 to present) continued to strengthen it.
his name. If the Rocky series is about a skilled boxer with a kind heart who overcomes a cruel fate (inspired by the actor’s own life), the hero in the Rambo series was initially anti-hero. face, then “molded” to protect America.
Both of these images, especially Rambo with his rebellious personality such as shooting at the police, destroying gas stations… make the American public especially loved.

After the above two brands, the name Sylvester Stallone began to fade in the early 2000s after a series of unpopular projects. After that, the actor continued to revive and began working on a long-running, popular film series called The Expendables (Vietnamese title: The Expendables ) from 2010 to present.
His name “guarantees” many works, with the estimated total revenue of the films he starred in reaching nearly 4 billion USD, bringing his name to the ranks of expensive superstars in the cinema capital .

At the age of 73, the Creed star is still diligently filming even though many times the Western press said he was injured many times while filming action scenes.
On December 24, Sylvester Stallone will continue to meet the audience through Rambo: Last Blood (Vietnamese title: Rambo: Bloody End ), the 5th and final part of the Rambo franchise.
In this work, Rambo must travel all the way to Mexico to rescue his adopted daughter who was kidnapped and forced into prostitution. Will the American father succeed?

The three-time actor’s personal life attracts special attention from the public. With his rugged, masculine appearance, he once “flirted” with many actresses in Hollywood and was even accused of sexual harassment.
For example, three years ago, a woman accused Sylvester Stallone and his assistant of sexually assaulting her when she was 16 years old during a recording session in Las Vegas in 1986. At that time, the actor was already a teenager.
turned 40. Immediately, the actor’s representative denied the accusations. Or in 2017, another woman also accused an actor of sexually assaulting her in the early 1990s, but then the Rocky star denied it.

Although the strength lies in the action scenes, the male artist’s acting is also highlighted. If Rocky ( 1976) received 10 Oscar nominations, won 3 of them including Best Movie of the Year, and is considered one of the best sports movies ever made in history, then the 7th part of it was Creed (released on the 40th anniversary of the original film) that went on to earn him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

To this day, the Italian actor still shows no signs of slowing down despite decades of dedication to movies. Looking at Sylvester Stallone’s life, the audience sees most clearly the trilogy of films Rocky, Rambo and The Expendables .
And among them, if Rocky helped him retire from the title of porn star, brought him into the film industry as a real actor, but it was also this work that caused him to be sued for copyright and ideas in the process. past.
Once holding a script to invite filmmakers, now the male artist has become a talented actor, director, producer and screenwriter. The Rambo movie star’s upcoming plan is to expand the Rocky brand even bigger, making a TV series for it.
And producer Irwin Winkler, who boldly collaborated with Sylvester Stallone from the first Rocky movie , said that the actor’s idea was very promising. Along with those projects, the 4th project of The Expendables is also on the discussion table
