<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/sylvester-stallone">Sylvester Stallone</a> is fresh off a marriage reconciliation and is reflecting on how he handled the balance of career and family responsibilities in the past.
The 76-year-old “Rocky” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">star</a> opened up to Sunday Times about the current state of his familial relationships during a recent <a href="https://archive.ph/swYku">interview</a>. He and his wife of 25 years, Jennifer Flavin, announced their split in August but called it off a month later.
&#8220;Let&#8217;s just say that it was a very tumultuous time,&#8221; Stallone told the publication. &#8220;There was a reawakening of what was more valuable than anything, which is my love for my family. It takes precedence over my work, and that was a hard lesson to learn.&#8221;
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/parents">father</a> of five mentioned how his focus on his career affected his children and their relationship even now. Stallone shares two sons with his previous wife and three daughters with Flavin.
&#8220;I didn&#8217;t pay enough attention when they were growing up,&#8221; the Golden Globe award winner admitted. &#8220;I was so career-oriented, and now I go, &#8216;OK, I don&#8217;t have that much runway up ahead, and I want to start asking them about their lives.'&#8221;
While he regrets the mistakes he made in the past, Stallone told The Times he&#8217;s working on those relationships now, especially the ties with his daughters.
&#8220;I ask them about their day, and they started at first a little monosyllabic,&#8221; he continued.&#8221;Then I heard one say, &#8216;I was just thinking about you.&#8217; Oh, my God. I&#8217;ve never heard that before in my life. When a daughter knows you care, she&#8217;s there forever.&#8221;
Elsewhere in the interview, the action star shared some advice for up-and-comers, urging them to prioritize physical safety.
Stallone said that the action film genre has &#8220;changed radically when it became possible to Velcro your muscles on,&#8221; and that current actors should use these changes to their advantage.
&#8220;Don&#8217;t do your own stunts, that&#8217;s the moral of that,” he advised. “But the special effects became more important than the person. Life is a matter of managing your ass-whipping,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That&#8217;s why I&#8217;ve always been a fan of defeated fighters. The undefeated boxer? I&#8217;m not interested.&#8221;
The actor also said he never expected Rocky and Rambo to be associated with politics. 
“I didn’t even know what a Republican or a Democrat was until I was 30 years old. I really didn’t until I went to Hollywood,” he explained. “I didn’t know wrapping myself in a flag in Rocky would throw down the gauntlet.”
