Sylvester Stallone is well known for his workaholic nature, and his immense love for his movies. As an actor, Stallone cares about what he’s creating, and he never holds himself back from going the extra mile to make it as perfect as possible. This is apparent in every movie of the ‘Rocky’ franchise. For instance, during the filming of Rocky 4, Stallone was seriously injured by his co-actor Dolph Lundgren who played Ivan Drago, Rocky Balboa’s nemesis in the movie. In order to make the boxing sequence seem realistic, Stallone gave the nod to the Swedish actor to show no mercy towards him. Unfortunately, Stallone was hospitalized for four days after Lundgren “pulverized” him.

Moreover, as an action hero, Stallone is known for giving it his all in every risky set-piece to the point where he picked up serious injuries during the filming of ‘The Expendables’.

“When I do The Expendables I break my neck, my spine, and dislocate shoulders. I fell on my back and had to put some metal in there, so if I’m squeaky, then deal with it, it’s not my shoe, it’s my back.” Stallone said during the promotion of his movie ‘The Expendables 3’ at a press conference in London.

However, these setbacks are quickly brushed aside, and the actor seems to associate himself with more risky projects as if nothing has happened. And the more the risk factor, the more inciting it is for ‘Sly’.

His devotion is admired by many of his fellow actors. Among his admirers, is the famous action superstar, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The seven-time Mr. Olympia’s famous meet-up with Sylvester Stallone in the ‘Experience With’ interview has been making rounds on the internet lately. Even Sylvester Stallone shared the clip on his Instagram Story.

In that 2022 interview, Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed how Sylvester Stallone had gotten back from surgery three weeks ago and was preparing to shoot for the next ‘The Expendables’ movie iteration in a few weeks.

Sylvester Stallone laughed at the whole revelation and said, “Because I’m crazy. A little crazy.

The fans lost their minds when they got to know about this as three weeks is surely not enough time to recover after back surgery, but it definitely did not stop ‘Sly’ from doing what he loves the most. Recently, Stallone also shared rare snaps prior to amassing a $400 million net worth.
