Sylvester Stallone is more
used to flooring opponents in his role of Rocky but he
recently got a taste of his own medicine on set.
The 59 year old was knocked
out and needed urgent medical attention after been caught by
a vicious punch during the filming of Rocky VI.
His mother Jackie told the
Mail on Sunday: “At first, everyone thought Sylvester was
acting when he fell to the floor, but it was serious.
Fortunately he’s recovered now.”
His publicist insisted that
Stallone was never in danger, adding: “It was a great
fight. He got knocked down but it wasn’t for long.”
Stallone has spent the last
few months in the gym with Jennifer Lopez’s personal
trainer Gunnar Peterson undergoing a punishing regime in
order to get in shape for his reprisal of the Rocky role
which he first took up way back in 1976.
