A humorous exchange: Frank Stallone and Sylvester Stallone

During a recent interview with Frank Stallone, Sylvester Stallone was asked about his thoughts on the life-size statue of Rocky Balboa. Frank asked Sylvester, “Here you are next to your statue, what do you think?” Sylvester responded, “Well, it’s kind of an imposter, cause I don’t look like that. I look like this,” and then proceeded to flex. He further stated, “Those legs belong on a Camel, a piano, or a pool table, but definitely not a Stallone.”

The interview was posted on Frank Stallone’s Instagram with a caption that read, “Art not imitating life, calves were never our strong point. But we are free thinkers @officialslystallone who believe anything is possible and quitting is improbable and not in our dialogue. The Stallone’s all our success and happiness because of you the fans that spend your hard earned to see our films go to my concerts. We thank you and God. OMG I just realized he has no hands, we forgot to put them on lol.”
