STALLONE STEERS CLEAR OF ROMANTIC COMEDIES<\/strong>
from\u00a0Contactmusic.com<\/strong>\u00a0News<\/strong><\/a> for October 25, 2004

Hollywood<\/strong>\u00a0actor\u00a0SYLVESTER STALLONE<\/strong>\u00a0has sworn off ever starring in a romantic comedy – because he believes his fans will only ever accept him as an action hero.

Stallone<\/strong>, who scored a huge fanbase in such action franchises as\u00a0ROCKY<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0RAMBO<\/strong>, admits he’s never been too successful whenever he’s strayed outside of his usual genre.

He tells\u00a0MAXIM<\/strong>\u00a0magazine, “It’s hard to make such a drastic change when you’re identified with a certain character or genre.

“Some guys have amazing versatility and can move around more guys like\u00a0TOM HANKS, RUSSELL CROWE, PAUL NEWMAN<\/strong>.

“But other fells… their baggage arrives 10 minutes before they do. People go, ‘Oh! It’s\u00a0Rocky<\/strong>!’

“Let me put it this way: You won’t see\u00a0Sylvester Stallone<\/strong>\u00a0starring in\u00a0NOTTING HILL 2<\/strong>.”

STALLONE CREDITS HERCULES FOR MUSCLE MOTIVATION<\/strong>
from\u00a0Contactmusic.com<\/strong>\u00a0News<\/strong><\/a> for October 25, 2004

RAMBO<\/strong>\u00a0star\u00a0SYLVESTER STALLONE<\/strong>\u00a0credits the 1958 movie\u00a0HERCULES<\/strong>\u00a0for giving him the inspiration to develop big muscles.

The\u00a0Hollywood<\/strong>\u00a0actor, who has boasted a muscular frame for a number of years, hated his skinny body when he was growing up.

He tells\u00a0MAXIM<\/strong>\u00a0magazine, “When I was young, I was very thin and not athletic. I felt isolated because I was never picked for teams and I wasn’t really brought up in a sports-minded family.

“But when I was 12 I went to see\u00a0HERCULES<\/strong>\u00a0with\u00a0STEVE REEVES<\/strong>\u00a0and I had an epiphany. I literally went from the theatre to a junkyard to find heavy stuff to lift.

“At that time gyms were dungeons’ dark, weird places with things that looked like they were used during the Inquisition. And people were into weird experimentation like the Cheese Diet and eating raw eggs.”
