Sylvester Stallone says his father, Frank, repeatedly rang the bell at the wrong time during his Rocky cameo, leading to an on-set altercation he called “really nasty.” Stallone said he kept fighting past the cue and hoped his father would be proud.
Stallone said that while filming Rocky III he became bulimic and started using steroids in an effort to achieve a specific physique. He recalled reaching 2.6% body fat and being unable to keep anything down.
The New York Times interview centered on Stallone’s memoir, The Steps, which was due out Sept. 29.
