The American actor, screenwriter, and filmmaker Michael Sylvester Gardenzio Stallone (born July 6, 1946), is better known as Sylvester Enzio Stallone. He moved to New York City in 1969 and then to Hollywood in 1974, where he worked as a struggling actor until his co-starring role as Stanley Rosiello in The Lords of Flatbush earned him his first critical praise.
Later, Stallone worked steadily as an extra or supporting character in high-budget films until he landed the role of boxer Rocky Balboa in the first installment of the critically and commercially acclaimed Rocky series (1976-present), for which he also wrote the screenplays. In the movies, Rocky is an underdog who battles and defeats a number of formidable opponents on his way to capturing the heavyweight championship two times.

Recently, Sylvester Stallone updated his tattoos. The Rocky actor, 76, recently covered over a tattoo of his wife Jennifer Flavin’s face with an homage to their late dog Butkus, who appeared in the film and its sequel. “Mr. Stallone intended to update the tattoo picture of his wife Jennifer; but, the results were unsatisfactory and, unfortunately, unfixable,” Stallone’s publicist Michelle Bega told the Daily Mail after the publication published photos of the actor’s tattoo coverup.
As she added, “Mr. Stallone is devoted to his loved ones. The Stallones have joined together to create a reality show for Paramount+.” In May, Stallone and Flavin observed their silver wedding anniversary with Instagram posts honoring their shared history. Stallone, who is 75 years old, captioned a photo carousel of himself and his wife with, “Happy 25th anniversary to my lovely wife.” “It would take more than 25 words to express how much we appreciate this unselfish, dedicated, patient woman. You’re really wonderful, thank you.”

I hope we have a long and happy life together.” The bullmastiff reportedly died in 1981 of a heart attack, and Stallone has since tattooed a profile of the dog.
