Life is full of challenges, and Sylvester Stallone faced many. Discover key struggles and how they were overcome.
Sylvester Stallone is a celebrated American actor and filmmaker with a career spanning over five decades. He has received numerous awards, including a Golden Globe and a Critics' Choice Award, alongside nominations for Academy Awards and BAFTA Awards. Stallone is one of the few actors to star in a box-office number one film across six consecutive decades. His films have collectively grossed over $7.5 billion worldwide, marking him as a significant figure in the film industry.
In 1984, Sylvester Stallone co-wrote and starred in the comedy film "Rhinestone" alongside Dolly Parton, playing a wannabe country music singer. He also performed a song for the film's soundtrack. Stallone regretted turning down the lead role in "Romancing the Stone" to make "Rhinestone".
Around 1985, Sylvester Stallone signed on to star in a remake of the 1939 film "Angels with Dirty Faces" as part of a multi-picture deal with Cannon Films. The remake, which was to co-star Christopher Reeve, faced disapproval and was eventually scrapped in favor of the action film "Cobra".
In 1987, Sylvester Stallone starred in "Over the Top" as a trucker trying to reconnect with his son through an arm wrestling competition. The film was poorly received and a box-office failure.
In 1992, Sylvester Stallone appeared in "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot", which was a critical and box-office disaster. He took the role based on rumors that Schwarzenegger was interested, who later admitted to faking interest to lure Stallone into the project.
In 1995, Sylvester Stallone starred in the science fiction action film "Judge Dredd". Although a domestic box-office disappointment, its overseas appeal helped it make US$113 million worldwide.
In February 2000, Sylvester Stallone's three-picture deal with Universal Pictures expired without him making any films, so he received no payment.
In 2000, Sylvester Stallone starred in "Get Carter", a remake of the 1971 British film. The film was poorly received by critics and audiences.
In 2001, Sylvester Stallone's film "Driven" was released but was a critical and commercial failure.
In 2002, Sylvester Stallone's films "Avenging Angelo" and "D-Tox" were released and were also critical and commercial failures.
On August 15, 2014, "The Expendables 3" was released, but was negatively received and became the lowest-grossing film in the series.
In November 2017, Stallone was accused of sexual assault at his Santa Monica office in the early 1990s. Stallone denied the claim, with his attorney stating the accuser filed a report after a website declined to publish the story and that he had a consensual relationship with her in 1987.
In June 2018, the Los Angeles District Attorney's office confirmed an investigation into the sexual assault allegation, stating the Santa Monica Police Department had presented a sex crimes case against Stallone for review.
In October 2018, the Los Angeles District Attorney's office decided not to charge Stallone for the alleged assault due to lack of corroborating witnesses. Stallone then filed a police report against the accuser for lying on an official document.
