Back then, Stallone was a struggling actor in every way. At some point, he went bankrupt and stole his wife's jewelry and sold it. Things got so bad that he became homeless. Yes, he slept in a New York bus station for three days. Not being able to pay rent or buy food. His lowest point came when he tried to sell his dog to any stranger in a liquor store. He no longer has money to keep a dog. He's selling it for just $25. He said he walked away crying.
Two weeks later, he watched a boxing match between Ali and Chuck Wepner, which inspired him to write the script for the famous film Rocky. He wrote the script for 20 hours! He tried to sell it and got an offer for $125,000 for the script. But he had only one request. He wanted to star in the film. He wanted to be the main character, Loki himself. But the studio refused. They want a real star.
They said he was "fun to watch and fun to talk to." He left with the script. A few weeks later, the studio offered him $250,000 for the script. He refused. They even offered $350,000. He still refused. They wanted his movie, but not him. He said no. He had to be in that movie.
After some time, the studio agreed and gave him $35,000 for the script to star in! The rest is history! The film won the prestigious Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Editing. He was even nominated for Best Actor! The movie Rocky was even inducted into the National Film Registry as one of the greatest movies of all time!
No one knows what you are capable of except yourself! People will judge you based on your appearance. And what you have. But keep fighting! Fight for your place in history. Fight for your glory. never give up!
As long as you are alive, your story is not over.
