The diet according to Stallone
Accustomed to portraying characters who shine with their musculature, Sylvester Stallone has, for this shoot, gained a few pounds. He appears transformed and deaf in one ear, delivering an interesting performance in a dark thriller. To obtain this paunchy physique, the American star had a very surprising method. Sour diet consisted mainly of… giant pancakes that he ate in a local restaurant in which he now had his habits. Holy Stallone.
