Sylvester Stallone Details Bulimia Struggles, Steroid Use During Height of Career
He said the extreme regimen left him bulimic and abusing steroids, and that the body obsession took a terrible toll.
- In a recent interview with The New York Times, Sylvester Stallone revealed that his physical transformations for Rocky III led to bulimia and Steroids use, discussing his intense, often "masochistic" relationship with his body.
- While preparing for Rocky III, Stallone achieved 2.6 percent body fat by consuming yogurt and pudding for six months, admitting that "nobody does it without additives and drugs."
- Stallone contrasted his lean Rocky physique with the "feral and aggressive" warrior look required for Rambo, noting that treating his body in such "masochistic" ways came "at a terrible price."
- Filming Cop Land, when he had to play the "weakest guy in the room," helped Stallone feel liberated, and today he no longer views his body as armor.
- In his forthcoming memoir, The Steps, available on Sept. 29, Stallone advises, "Let someone else carry the banner and don't do your own stunts," prioritizing long-term health.
