Comparing himself to his on-screen character of Rocky Balboa,Sylvester Stallonestated that it would have been good if he had that simple life ideology of Rocky Balboa.
“I wish I were more like Rocky. I wish I had the simplification of his life. He really seems dialed into the right zone. Hes got his wife and his kid and loyal friends, and he doesnt want for anything. Hes unswayable. Me, Im one of those people plagued by having too many choices. Im like a guy who has been given a menu with too many dishes. Ive been married before; I just got married again [with Brigitte Nielsen]”
The actor further continued,
“I hope to settle down, and have some more children. And Id like to get rid of some of the anger thats inside of me. This marriage seems to be helping that.”
Although the marriage did not last long, fans were reminded of the iconic feud between Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Brigitte Nielsen, who Stallone married in 1985, was an ex-girlfriend of his arch-rival Arnold Schwarzenegger!
