Sylvester Stallone sold his dog for $25 to make ends meet before hitting it big with Rocky, then bought it back for $15,000.

 Unable to pay rent or afford food. His lowest point came when he tried to sell his dog at the liquor store to any stranger. He didn’t have money to feed the dog anymore. He sold it at $25 only. He says he walked away crying.

 

Two weeks later, he saw a boxing match between Mohammed Ali and Chuck Wepner and that match gave him the inspiration to write the script for the famous movie, ROCKY. He wrote the script for 20 hours! He tried to sell it and got an offer for $125,000 for the script. But he had just ONE REQUEST. He wanted to STAR in the movie. He wanted to be the MAIN ACTOR. Rocky himself. But the studio said NO. They wanted a REAL STAR.

 

They said he “Looked funny and talked funny”. He left with his script. A few weeks later,the studio offered him $250,000 for the script. He refused. They even offered $350,000. He still refused. They wanted his movie. But NOT him. He said NO. He had to be IN THAT MOVIE.

 

After a while, the studio agreed, gave him $35,000 for the script and let him star in it! The rest is history! The movie won Best Picture, Best Directing and Best Film Editing at the prestigious Oscar Awards. He was even nominated for BEST ACTOR! The Movie ROCKY was even inducted into the American National Film Registry as one of the greatest movies ever!

 

And do You know the first thing he bought with the $35,000? THE DOG HE SOLD. Yes, Stallone LOVED HIS DOG SO MUCH that he stood at the liquor store for 3 days waiting for the man he sold his dog to. And on the 3rd day, he saw the man coming with the dog. Stallone explained why he sold the dog and begged for the dog back. The man refused. Stallone offered him $100. The man refused. He offered him $500. And the guy refused. Yes, he refused even $1000. And, Believe it or Not, Stallone had to pay $15,000 for the same, same dog he sold at $25 only! And he finally got his dog back!

He clearly loved the dog more than the other man. If the other man loved the dog and could see how desperate Stallone was, he should just have sold back for what he paid.

Sylvester Stallone is set to star in Kansas City, a new TV series from The Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire's Terence Winter, Deadline reports.

 

 

Stallone will play Sal, a legendary mobster from New York who's forced to relocate to Kansas City, Missouri, and re-establish his Italian mafia family in the Midwest, encountering surprising and unsuspecting characters who follow him along his unconventional path to power. Despite several cameos and small parts, this will be Stallone's first regular TV role in his career, which spans over 50 years. He'll also executive produce the show.

 

 

Meanwhile, Winter will serve as showrunner on the Paramount Plus series. As well as writing and executive producing The Sopranos, he was the creator of the Steve Buscemi-led series Boardwalk Empire and the co-creator of Vinyl, along with Martin Scorsese and Mick Jagger. He also worked with Scorsese to write the screenplay for 2013's The Wolf of Wall Street, which earned him an Oscar nomination. Taylor Sheridan, the creator of Yellowstone and Mayor of Kingstown, is on board as an executive producer on Kansas City, too.
