Sylvester Stallone’s journey from rags to riches
Stallone’s fate was against him when he was born. He had a complicated birth that made doctors use forceps. However, in that process, they messed with one of his nerves, which resulted in paralysis of the lower left side of his face. Hence, Stallone became conscious of his droopy face from the beginning. He also had a rough childhood due to the relationship between his parents. In his teenage, he struggled academically, which resulted in his low self-esteem.
Finally, when he came to New York City to pursue his acting dream, he faced tremendous struggle initially. There were days when he had to sleep on the street or do odd jobs on set. However, in 1974, he received his first break in the film, The Lords of Flatbush. This opened his gate for Hollywood and the rest became history.
