Sylvester Stallone’s family life was difficult. In 2012, Sage Stallone, his eldest son from his marriage to Sasha Czack, died at just 36 years of age from a heart attack caused by arteriosclerosis. Like his father, with whom we saw him work in Rocky V (1990), playing the son of Rocky Balboa, he is aiming for a career in the world of film stars and directing. However, although he followed the same path, it is true that the relationship between the two is far from perfect, which makes the sad outcome of the events even more serious.
When Sage Stallone played Rocky Jr. In the fifth installment of the franchise as a teenager, she followed some work with her father in films like Light. However, it did not take long for him to distance himself from the action film and take a more personal path in the film genre. Between the recent 90s and the 2010s, he starred in horror films such as Chaos, Moscow Zero or Promises Written in Water, in 2006 he ventured to direct the film Vic and also founded his own cult film distribution and preservation company. to let go This is to say, nothing to the trajectory in the film that his father followed in the high spheres of Hollywood acting.
But this break with the family heir on a professional level also resulted in personal friction, which caused the relationship between Sage and Sylvester Stallone to experience moments of great tension. We only have to go back to some of the statements that have been given to both over the years, such as what Sage Stallone gave to People about one of the most important scenes of Rocky V, when the character Jr. Rocky snapped at him. his father was not present.
According to Stallone’s son, in this criticism he did not limit himself to interpreting the lines of the script, but rather he tried to make his father take things even in his family on the screen, when Sylvester Stallone and Sasha Czack separated. among the rumors about the romantic arrival of Rocky or Rambo actor. “When I cried, you never spent time with me! You never spent time with my mother!” it was true. My father looked him in the face and told him truly what “the wise man said to the people.”

According to his words, this stage served for both of them to sit down and talk about their differences and problems. However, according to the film, the situation has changed dramatically. “And it took a lot here. We burst into tears a couple of times. After the movie, everything changed. What are we going to do for ourselves,” added the actor. However, if we look at the results of his career, he can’t even replicate the role of Rocky Jr. in Rocky Balboa in 2006, where he played the role of Milo Ventimiglia, we think that the rivalry could continue with him. the process of time. the weather
The reason can be found in how much the legacy of a star of Sylvester Stallone’s stature is overshadowed, in fear of not stepping up or feeling that you have to honor his path. Since his father and the film industry were famous, he believed that he would follow the same path. But it was not said. As he said, he rejected everything that had to do with his father, he wanted to make his name completely different from the film and to avoid comparisons with his father in any way. And this was acknowledged by Sylvester Stallone himself in another interview with People in 1996. “He avoids the gym like the plague and is interested in abstract and auteur films. He put himself in a position where he will never be compared to me,” Callide said.
In fact, if we refer to the statements issued by Sage Stallone’s co-stars in the same medium in the context of his death, we find words that allude to the conflicting ideas between the two figures. Actor Stephen Wozniak, who worked with him on the film Chaos, noted that “love and hate come all the time”, because Wise greatly admired his father’s work, but was not shy about criticizing some of his behavior. ” Wise said, “I loved the weird ending in Nighthawks that my dad really championed.’ And then a few minutes later I’d look at the magazine and say, ‘Look at these three tattoos my dad got at 66. What do you do?'”.
David DeFalco, the director of Chaos, has also shown that Sylvester Stallone himself can be more aggravated than he should be. According to his words, Wise wanted to return to Rocky Balboa with his father, but he was the one who closed the door on hiring Milo Ventimiglia instead. Reason, and according to the aforementioned media, Rocky rejected the first statements about his son’s body type, which has nothing to do with the toned and muscular body he developed throughout his career. But since there are no direct words from any of those involved, they should perhaps be taken with a grain of salt.
In any case, it is curious that one of the films of the precious talent of Sylvester Stallone took such a part of his private life for posterity, as it was with his firstborn. Wise would have used that most intense scene in Rocky V to let go of everything he had inside, let off steam and the world is only 13 years old. And although we’re left wondering if the dispute would have remained or not, a lawyer told Sage Press (via Today) after his death that he was “proud of his father and son of his father.” A sad ending considering the fate of the story.
