Sylvester Stallone made a strong comeback with Rocky Balboa (2006), Rambo (2008), and launched The Expendables in 2010. In 2015, Creed brought him critical acclaim, a Golden Globe, and an Oscar nod—40 years after his first. Born in 1946 in NYC, Stallone faced bullying, a facial paralysis at birth, and a tough childhood. Through bodybuilding and acting, he turned adversity into an iconic Hollywood journey.
