Sylvester Stallone, Rocky or Rambo. Whatever role you call him, that's him. He became one of the most popular actors today, but his life is not easy at all.
He was born with paralysis of the lower left part of the jaw and had a special facial expression, which was the first obstacle for him to practice acting, which he loved from an early age. In addition, he had a speech impediment, so many of his castings ended ingloriously later.
He never gave up, though. Before the films for which he became famous, Sylvester had to shoot the achievements of the porn industry. Mostly these films were made for the Italian market.
Sylvester Stallone has been married to Jennifer Flavin for 25 years, and their love has had its ups and downs. Stallone and Flavin first met in 1988, when he was at the peak of his Hollywood career and had a reputation as a playboy.
The actor met the model at a restaurant in Beverly Hills, California. When he met her, he was 46, while she was twice as young. Despite the huge age difference, the two began seeing each other soon after the meeting.
They constantly reconciled and broke up between 1988 and 1994. He broke up his relationship with the model - via a six-page letter, which he sent her by mail. Flavin described the letter as "sloppy".
The actor then had an affair with another model, Janice Dickinson, who in February 1994 gave birth to the daughter he thought was his child. However, a DNA test revealed that Stallone was not the father of Janice's daughter and their relationship was broken.
Flavin was then dating Australian mogul James Packer. The media did not write much about their relationship, except that Jennifer left the billionaire to return to the actor. She and Stallone reconciled a year later.
"I'm not naive about what can happen when I'm not here - he's a 45-year-old man - I can't change him. However, he is not a dog who cheats every day of the week. We spend five of the seven nights together, so I don't know when he would find the time," Jennifer said at the time.
Despite everything, they have been in a stable marriage ever since, in which they had three daughters. Jennifer is Stallone's third wife.
