Sylvester Stallone is not afraid to fight, even if standing alone ends up with a bullet hole!
The Hollywood veteran is no stranger to portraying tough action stars in movies, so many may not be surprised to learn about the actor’s street brawl past. However, her family was shocked to discover the horrific patriarchal encounter at the age of 16.
Sylvester Stallone Shares Horrific Encounters With Bullies
The “First Blood” star recently opened up about her gunshot wounds on an episode of her daughter Sophia and Sistine Stallone’s “Unwaxed” podcast. A clip of the TV personality’s trip went viral on TikTok, capturing the famous family’s shocked reaction to the patriarchy’s past.
“Huh?” the podcast host exclaimed, moving forward at the same time as their eyes widened in disbelief at the casual revelation of Sylvester being shot in the arm. “Mom, did you know he was shot?” Sophia asked Jennifer Flavin, who was sitting in the back and confirmed she didn’t know about her husband’s injuries.
“Okay, I won’t tell you everything, dear. I mean, it’s only 26 years old; I have to keep some secrets,” the father of five teased his longtime partner before finally sharing his story. The drama begins when the film director curiously attends a church dance despite not knowing anyone there and attracts the attention of a group of men present.
“This is the story of my life in a nutshell; for some reason, there was a group of men there who were tough and manly looking. I am alone. I didn’t know anyone at this dance, there were probably 500 people. Out of all 500 people, they focused on me,” said the 77-year-old, adding:
“A guy walks up to me, a big giant guy, you know, he’s like, ‘Hey, get out of here or we’re going to punch you in the face.’ Whoa! I looked around like, ‘Hey, I didn’t do anything,’ then he hit me hard.

After the strike, the Golden Globes Award winner hoped that someone in the scene would save her, so she tucked her tail between her legs and left. But being a “despicable coward” isn’t in the blood of the movie star, who pulls up in a parking lot and talks herself into confronting her bully.
“I said: ‘I can’t live with it. I can’t live the rest of my life knowing that some stranger came and hit me hard for nothing. So you have to do something. Do you know? Come back in. Come back in!’” Sylvester told in his voice full of emotion.
True to his word, the “Rocky Balboa” star returned to the church dance and punched his assailant in the face while the bully laughed at beating the younger entertainer. However, due to the man’s size, the TV personality’s punch had little effect, and the bully responded only to hit the unsuspecting priest in the middle of the arguing couple.
What follows is a film-worthy chase scene in the Kensington area, with the gang jumping over a fence to catch Sylvester, who manages to get to his house before more damage can be inflicted. Unfortunately, the bully got his revenge when the “Creed” actor visited a bowling alley. In the words of the BAFTA Award nominee:
“One night, I slipped out, and they followed me. I’m going to go to this bowling alley, and I start running, and then pow! They shot me in the tricep…and I kept going and going and finally, after the shooting, the police came.”

The story of the “Escape Plan” star’s extraordinary father has left fans divided, with some loving the story of the unbelievable entertainer while others calling it a tale of false courage. One TikTok user wrote: “Bro Sylvester Stallone’s proverbial dad is CRAZY,” with another wondering: “I don’t understand why they’re shocked? Dude is really Rambo.”
“Bro, how big does one have to be for Sylvester Stallone to say you’re big?” A third thought about the bully from the story, while a fourth was incredulous about the actor’s age, exclaiming, “60 or 16?!?!”
“Dad will go 30+ years without telling you the craziest story of all time and then talk about it so casually,” one fan said of Sylvester’s storytelling. Meanwhile, critics expressed skepticism about the shooting story, with one individual declaring:
“I called BS it went down like that. Let’s remember he writes for a living. New Movie Coming Out.”
“Don’t 100% believe the story but sympathize with the hardship. I was really the quiet guy at the bar who had to be tried & rejected,” said another, jokingly writing: “Imagine 14 years later that guy goes to see Rocky and is like ‘Hey wait I shoot that guy.’”
