News – For the first time, American action movie star Sylvester Stallone revealed that he underwent seven major surgeries, following suffering a broken neck while filming a fight scene from the movie “The Expandables” in 2010.
The words of the hero of the “Rambo” films came during the announcement of the second season of the reality television series “The Stallone Family,” which begins its showing, Wednesday, on the “Paramount +” channel.
Stallone (77 years old) spoke regarding the details of his confrontation with wrestler Steve Austin, who struck him several times while filming one of the fight scenes in the movie, which almost threatened his life and caused him to undergo seven surgeries.
The American New York Post quoted details of his statement regarding health complications due to that scene. Stallone stated that he was physically exhausted due to the intense filming of his scenes in the movie “Expandables”, at a rate of 10 scenes at the same time. Most notable was this fight scene that nearly killed him. He pointed out that a metal plate was inserted into his neck, and he also needed spinal fusion operations and treatment for a dislocated shoulder.
The star of the “Rocky” film series confirmed that despite the passage of 14 years, he has not recovered from the harm he suffered during the filming of the film, while he considered that the film was able to succeed by releasing 3 other parts that were as successful as the first.
Strange coincidence
He pointed out that coincidence brought him together in the hospital with his “arch friend” and his enemy in the movie, the star Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was undergoing surgery for a shoulder injury, so they were next to each other in the same room.
He warned the audience once morest imitating his scenes on screen because they are very dangerous actions and are carried out by professionals who are ready to react to blows and defend themselves, due to their huge bodies.
Hide the feeling of pain
For her part, Stallone’s wife, former model Jennifer Flavin (55 years old), admitted that she felt terrified every time her husband had to undergo surgery, despite Stallone’s attempt to hide his feeling of pain, so as not to increase her anxiety.
She revealed that Stallone had not previously revealed that she had undergone these surgeries on his back, because of his keenness to appear perfect in front of his fans.
To mitigate the shock of his statement, he tried to lighten the mood by saying that if he were to be bent in the back, he would be the ideal candidate to play the role of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.”
