Stallone Reveals 'Rocky' Filming Turned 'Nasty' After Father's Botched Cameo
Sylvester Stallone has disclosed that the filming of the 1976 film 'Rocky' became chaotic when his father, Frank Stallone Sr., botched a cameo as the bell ringer. In a new interview, Stallone explained that his father’s failure to ring the bell at the correct count led to a physical altercation on set, which Stallone described as a 'really bad Italian drama.' These revelations are part of a broader media push for his upcoming memoir, 'The Steps,' and the biopic 'I Play Rocky,' both of which detail his difficult upbringing and the intense struggle to secure the role of Rocky Balboa.
