Sylvester Stallone has been one of the best action-movie actors of all time and during his prime, there were only a handful of actors who could amount to him. Stallone has been in the industry for decades and the amount of fame he garnered during that time is humongous, his fan following is by millions, and the same goes for his bank balance too.

While Sylvester Stallone is quite known for being a ladies’ man and slying his way to famous actresses and models, what he did with Sharon Stone for the movie, The Specialist, shall be remembered as one of his most naughty deeds. And years later, Stallone shed some light on what really went down that day during the intimate scene between him and Stone.

Sylvester Stallone and Sharon Stone Got Drunk for a Nude Scene

Well, Sylvester Stallone has quite a history with beautiful, young, and successful women in the industry and it was commonly known that he loves to indulge himself with them. With Stallone’s fame in the industry, it was quite easy for the actor to befriend them, though none of them lasted for a long time, he was still known as the ladies’ man. During the early 1990s, Sharon Stone became one of the most famous actresses out there, and because of her highly seductive role in Basic Instinct, she became the most popular femme fatale in the industry.

When the two famous actors, Sylvester Stallone and Sharon Stone teamed up for a movie, The Specialist, they had a major altercation on set while filming for the movie as the Silver actress refused to film a nude scene with Stallone. Though the two of them instantly hit it off and became good friends while making the movie, Sharon Stone was particularly not happy with the shower scene they were told to perform, and it caused quite a ruckus on the set.

“OK. Let it be known, I didn’t want to do this scene because Sharon was not cooperating. We get to the set and she decides not to take her robe off. The director asks only a few of the crew to remain, and she still won’t take it off. I promised her I wouldn’t take any liberties, so what’s the problem?

She said, ‘I’m just sick of nudity’. I asked her if she could get sick of it on someone else’s film. She was having none of it, so I went down to my trailer, brought back a bottle of Black Death vodka that was given to me by Michael Douglas and after half-a-dozen shots we were wet and wild.”
Just like Sharon Stone was having none of it, the Rocky actor was also having none of it as he was determined to shoot the shower scene, which led him to take out his special reserve, the Black Death Vodka, and get them drunk enough to shoot the scene. The Specialist was well received at the box office as it collected over $170 million after it was released worldwide, with a budget of $45 million, but was poorly rated by the critic reviewers.

Sylvester Stallone Was Unhappy With His Most Successful Franchise: Rocky

Sylvester Stallone’s role as Rocky Balboa in the Rocky franchise is his most successful one and the amount of success the franchise had is literally unfathomable. Stallone became famous for this role and to date, he is remembered for starring in and creating the character Rocky. Though initially, he was just an aspiring actor with small roles under his belt, his deal with United Artists was the one that turned him into the superstar he is now. The same deal that made him a superstar was also the one that denied him from receiving hundreds of millions of dollars for Rocky, as the deal he made with United Artists was mostly one-sided, benefiting the company.

The Rocky franchise earned a total of over $2 billion at the box office worldwide with its five movies and from the huge collection, the Rocky actor went home with a mere $50 million. It was a total disaster for Stallone as the franchise that he made with his own blood, sweat, and tears had him hanging on the sidelines. All the rights, licensing, and franchising rights were held by United Artists, and in return, Stallone was paid a small fortune from the pool of billions. The franchise bagged many awards too, some of them being the Oscars, Golden Globes, and many others.

The Specialist is available for streaming on Prime Video.

Rocky is available for streaming on Prime Video.
