The childhood of the famous actor was difficult.

In a documentary film on Netflix, popular American actor Sylvester Stallone talked about his tough childhood and complicated relationship with his father.

It turns out that in his childhood, his father used to beat Stallone. The actor noted that in the movie «Rambo,» in which he played the lead role, the character’s background was inspired by his own father.

«I was raised by a very tough father. Nothing was ever settled verbally. It was usually a physical ultimatum. My father was Rambo in reality,» the celebrity recounted.

The actor also shared how his father used to beat him during horse riding lessons, all because he thought Sylvester wasn’t doing things well enough.

«He comes out of the stands, grabs me by the throat, throws me to the ground, takes the horse, and walks off the field. Then lying there, I said, ‘I never want to see a horse again in my life,'» Stallone said.

«Our parents operated like clockwork. You wake up in bed and hear them arguing and yelling. It instantly paralyzed me because it echoed,» shared Frank Jr.
