I (like all humans who love freedom) am a HUGE fan of Sylvester Stallone…as I’m sure the reader of this site is already aware. Because of the lack of interesting news to report about, I decided to see what the Master of Action was up too since THE EXPENDABLES finished filming. And wouldn’t you know it, I learned some stuff that I didn’t know before (and knowledge is power!).
I will start with the strange, yet awesome, news that I found at Daily Mail. It appears that Stallone is not only an artist with a fist, but also with a paint brush. Click the link that was posted in the first sentence and you will be shown many of Sly’s pieces that were displayed at the Art Basel Miami Beach fair and a few of them even sold…for money! If you saw them, they’re very expressionistic and what-not, not exactly my cup-of-tea, but I will say that Sly looks damn good in this suit.
Somewhere in the world, a ninja is having a nightmare that looks just like this photo.
The other piece of information that I found came courtesy of some lady named Sheryl Main and her blog. Apparently, after shooting finished for THE EXPENDABLES Sly went into the hospital to have an operation performed on his neck. Let’s just hope that the doctor didn’t do the surgery the “Rambo way.”
No autographs!
Here is how Miss Main described the surgery:
From what he told me it was complicated and involved moving his trachea, putting in a metal plate and some very delicate maneuvering by the surgeon – the slightest mistake could have resulted in paralysis.
She isn’t too sure at which point during filming Stallone got himself injured, but it must have been quite the Karate chop to wound a neck that thick. Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery.
