In 1976, Hollywood fans were stunned to witness a thrilling sports drama loosely based on the life of boxer Chuck Wepner. The protagonist of the Rocky series, played by Sylvester Stallone, stunned the audience with his charm and boxing moves. Surprisingly enough, he is also the writer of the film. It was then that the film fraternity noted the remarkable actor, Sylvester Stallone.

Stallone became a sensation in the 1980s as movie admirers started loving the action genre. And now, Netflix is bringing Sly’s life story in a documentary form next month, and its trailer just dropped on YouTube. Stallone speaks of his personal life in the trailer, which has many similarities to that of his then-rival Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Sylvester Stallone’s trailer reveals snippets of his personal life

Stallone had a difficult start in Hollywood, as he faced multiple rejections. So, he wrote the Rocky film and starred in the lead role. The film went on to become his breakthrough film, bringing him much-needed fame. He followed his success with its sequels and the Rambo series.

But on the personal front, the 77-year-old actor’s journey wasn’t smooth. Sly was divorced twice before meeting his love of life, Jennifer Flavin, in 1988 at a restaurant. The actor married Flavin in 1997 and has three adorable daughters. Their relationship has had its share of ups and downs. The couple shocked the film fraternity with their divorce drama in 2022, which didn’t materialize.

In his latest Netflix documentary, “Sly,” the Rambo star weighs on his professional decisions that affected his family life. “When you’re a truly absorbed filmmaker, you put things before your family, and the repercussions are quite devastating,” Sly admits his regrets in the trailer of his documentary. “I lost everything! Could I actually go back and start over again? Not without family,” he explains. Sly’s relationship lows make a striking similarity to that of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The Rambo star’s affair in 1994

Sylvester Stallone broke up with Jennifer Flavin in 1994 over a letter sent through the Federal Express mailing service after model Janice Dickinson became pregnant, with whom he was having an affair. “He sent me a six-page handwritten letter in pen,” Flavin told People in 1994. But the couple got back together the following year after Sly realized that he was not the father of Dickinson’s child through a paternity test.

To the unversed, Schwarzenegger also had an affair with a housekeeper during the same time and fathered a child in 1997, which cost him his marriage in 2011. But Schwarzenegger and Sly both moved on in their lives, accepting their past mistakes and now have a close-knit bond with their children.
