Sylvester Stallone Discusses His Physical Transformation and 'Armor'

In an interview with Lulu Garcia-Navarro for The New York Times, actor Sylvester Stallone reflects on his past approach to physical fitness and body image. Stallone describes how he once viewed his physique as a form of "armor" and discusses the intense, animalistic mindset he adopted to sculpt his body like a "jaguar" or "cat" for his iconic roles. The conversation touches on the psychological and physical toll of maintaining such a demanding standard throughout his career.

I feel like I hate when people interrupt others as they are pouring out their souls. Just wait and ask the fucking questions when he is done talking.

Okay I mean I don’t like the dude but first of all, for 80 he looks good… but also that he doesn’t bullshit, cause a lot of other actors just have some „unique routine“ that they tell you to do in order to look like them, which is total crap… Just look at the rock, this guy lied
