Sylvester Stallone says father's Rocky cameo led to nasty on-set fight

Sylvester Stallone, an American actor, recalled a nasty altercation with his father, Frank Stallone Sr., on the set of the 1976 film Rocky. Stallone had arranged for his father to appear as the bell ringer in the climactic fight scene, hoping to earn his approval. However, his father rang the bell incorrectly, causing the fight to continue longer than planned. This led to a heated argument between them. Stallone described his father as cold and tough, but noted they reconciled on his deathbed in 2011. He also discussed his past struggles with body image and steroid use.
