“The Italian Stallion and the King of Pop”: Rare Picture of Michael Jackson and Sylvester Stallone Sends Fans into Frenzy

There aren’t a lot of men who were more famous than Hollywood action star Sylvester Stallone during the 1970s. The American actor got his breakthrough after his boxing classic ‘Rocky’ became a blockbuster shooting him into unforeseen stardom. This resulted in ‘Sly’ being among the elites in Hollywood. However, there is one man that could make the claim for the most famous person during that time.

This person is none other than ‘King of pop’ Michael Jackson, who was a global icon at the peak of his career and arguably the most influential person in the world. Naturally, a rare resurfaced photo of the two icons standing together is making rounds on the internet.

When a Hollywood legend and Pop legend meet…

The picture of the two together was shared by a page named Rocky Balboa, which is named after Stallone’s iconic character. In the picture, we can see the two standing together with Stallone wearing blue denim jeans and sporting a black leather jacket. Jackson on the other hand can be seen wearing a strange black coat studded with some unorthodox designs with his belt standing out from the rest. The pop star was known for his out-of-the-box fashion sense which was part of his persona.

Moreover, this picture also garnered some wild reactions from fans who were ecstatic to see two of the most popular celebrities of their time sharing a photo together.
