Ernest “Jazzman” Resendes has checked in with another “heads-up” for Sylvester Stallone fans:
In the June 2001 issue of In Style magazine in the BODY + SOUL column there is a feature entitled SHAPE SHIFTERS. It talks about physically prepping for roles. There is a section called Hall of Gain: Expanding Their Range.
“When it comes to actorly sacrifices for roles, sometimes the thighs have no limit.”
They list 5 actors/ actresses who have gained weight for roles . Sly is # 4….
Sylvester Stallone sported 40 extra pounds in 1997’s Cop Land.
Thanks to Jazz for the tip! – Craig Zablo (May 22, 2001)
