The young, successful film actor Sage Stallone, who received many offers, died at the age of 36, on the eve of his wedding, without having time to carry out many of his plans.
News of a celebrity's death spreads at lightning speed. On the evening of February 19, information appeared online that actor Sylvester Stallone had passed away. He allegedly had prostate cancer, a diagnosis that Sly hid from the public. Of course, the actor’s fans could not hide their emotions. As it turned out, this information is someone's cruel joke! The next day, the actor wrote on Instagram that he was alive, healthy, and could even throw a good punch.
“Friends, I ask you: do not pay attention to these nonsense! I'm not dead, I'm fine, I feel good. I'm healthy and happy! I can quite “punch you in the eye”!”
Fans of the famous actor's work actively responded to his post. The post received over 400,000 likes in a few hours. Sly's fans even promised to find the joker who started this trick and give him a good beating.
Life goes on
Stallone's next Instagram post proved that he has a great sense of humor, especially for a dead man. He posted a video with his daughters. The short video shows that the father locked the girls outside and did not let them into the house, despite the fact that it started to rain. The funny father commented on this post:
“I locked my daughters outside, and it’s raining a little here. It’s great, I tell you, to feel alive again after Death!!!”
Once again, the news that Sylvester Stallone passed away not so long ago shocked supporters of the artist and director. A publication dated February 19 on a website with a reputation for dubious veracity contained regret over the death of a man from prostate cancer and illustrated the tragic news with terrible photographs. In the photographs, the elderly artist looks very deplorable - bald and exhausted appearance Stallone had to clearly confirm his deplorable state of health on the eve of the sad event.
As it turned out, a little later, the news of Sly’s death “from a long illness” turned out to be premature, which he personally commented on the Internet. According to the artist, such fake news that this or that public person has passed away is posted on the Internet only in order to increase traffic to one’s own website or blog. Therefore, the artist is grateful to all his fans for their excitement about their own existence in “this” world and advises them not to believe such reports about counting themselves among the host of the dead.
We remind you that the artist first learned about his own death in the fall of 2016. Then the message about the death of the performer of the roles of Rocky Balboa and Rambo appeared on the front pages of news sites, vying with each other to tell the stunning news about the artist’s cocaine overdose.
An outrageous fake was published news portal with the loud name CNN and therefore the majority of visitors social networks They simply bombarded the artist’s Instagram and Facebook accounts with alarming requests about the pet’s well-being. Even a joint photo of Stallone and his daughter, posted on the Internet a few hours after a false report about the actor’s addiction and his death, did not save the situation.
Some bloggers suggested that the news of the untimely death of the popular American was provoked by Sylvester Stallone himself, because the photographs with his haggard face and thinning hair showed Rambo in makeup. The changed appearance was needed to work in last movie strongman "Creed 2". A poster on this topic appeared in the media not long ago.
At the end of last year, newspapers shocked the public with the news of the criminal prosecution of artist Sylvester Stallone, the news of whose death is again being discussed by fans online. Allegedly, in 1986, the actor, while on the set of the film “Fighting With All My Strength,” forced a 16-year-old fan of his work to satisfy the base needs of himself and several bodyguards who were constantly present next to the American movie star.
And supposedly, 31 years later, the now adult woman was prompted to talk about such a base act by the idol of millions 31 years later in the case of Vanstein, a director against whom dozens of accusations were made last fall by the victim actresses.
The next portion of information madness was then refuted by the artist’s press secretary, publishing in open sources a statement that all this is a vile lie. No one has ever contacted the artist or his proxies regarding such accusations, government officials have not given any comments on this matter, and references to police reports cannot be valid.
Facts from the life of Rambo: n Stallone's nationality
Sylvester Stallone, whose death was recently reported by a fake Internet portal, was born into a family with a complex interweaving of national characteristics. My ancestors on my mother’s side were Jewish immigrants from Odessa who fled pogroms at the beginning of the 20th century, while my father’s roots stretched far into the Sicilian Peninsula.
The future star’s parent had a bad reputation and a quarrelsome character, so he often beat not only members of his family, but also his own horses. Mom suffered the most, so the birth of her first child on June 6, 1946 was very difficult.
Due to the inept actions of obstetricians who used forceps when removing the baby from the mother's womb, Sylvester was left with a noticeable impairment of facial expressions for the rest of his life. His facial nerve was compressed so tightly that left-hand side The man's face was left paralyzed.
The childhood years of the now popular actor were crippled not only by his always fighting father - at school, a thin boy with a speech impediment and an always distorted left corner of his mouth was often bullied by his peers.
The guy did not want to put up with injustice and, as a result of constant fights, at the age of 16 he ended up in a special military school for difficult teenagers. Here the guy became interested in bodybuilding and devoted all his free time to classes in the college gym.
After graduation, his mother tried to get Sly a job in her beauty salon, but the stubborn man was determined to settle in Hollywood at any cost.
The thorny path to glory
The persistent Sicilian, who visited the doors of all film studios and acting agencies in the mid-seventies of the last century, had to work in a variety of ways:

The dynamic story about the experiences and struggle of an unknown boxer appealed to Hollywood directors, and the homeless and little-known artist was offered about $350,000 for the right to use it. The main condition of the contract was the invitation to more famous actors to play the main role. Stallone refused and offered to reduce the fee on the condition that he himself would present his own work to the audience.
