Stallone Confesses to Bulimia and Steroid Cycles During Rocky III Era
Sylvester Stallone has disclosed that he developed bulimia and used performance-enhancing drugs while preparing for Rocky III and Rambo roles. In a New York Times profile, the 80-year-old actor described reaching 2.6% body fat and cycling steroids for six weeks at a time to maintain his physique. He stated that these practices took a severe physical toll, leading to multiple surgeries, though he found relief when playing a heavier character in Cop Land.
