Everything seems easy unless you actually try it. This could not have been more true than in the case of Sylvester Stallone, who thought Football was an easy deal. But boy was he wrong, for he soon discovered his ignorance would leave him with getting his a** kicked. Stallone also revealed thatEscape To Victorywas the hardest role he had ever trained for.
“I thought Rocky was tough, but I’ve never trained so hard. I thought soccer was a sissy sport until they kicked the ball into my stomach and I crossed the border into Austria with haematomas on both hips.”
The actor also elaborated that while shooting, he was even unable to follow the ball when the professionals came into the field. The movie was an eye-opening experience for him that made him respect the game as well as the players.
