The childhood of the famous actor was difficult. The popular American actor Sylvester Stallone revealed in a documentary on Netflix his difficult childhood and complicated relationship with his father.

It turned out that Stallone’s father used to beat him in his childhood. The actor noted that the prototype of his work in the movie “Rambo,” where he played the lead role, was precisely his father.

“I was raised by a very tough father. Nothing was settled verbally. Usually, it was a physical ultimatum. My father was the real-life Rambo,” shared the celebrity.

The actor also spoke about how his father would beat him during horseback riding lessons, simply because he thought Sylvester wasn’t doing things well enough.

He comes down from the stands, grabs me by the throat, throws me to the ground, takes the horse, and leaves the field. That’s where, lying there, I said, ‘I never want to see a horse again in my life,'” Stallone said.

He added how he reacted to his parents’ arguments.

“Our parents operated like clockwork. You’d wake up in bed, and you’d hear them arguing and screaming. It instantly paralyzed me because it resonated,” shared Frank Jr.
