<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sylvester Stallone quipped that actors should rely on stunt doubles for their riskier scenes to avoid a situation like he had several years ago.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 77-year-old action star talked about some of his past injuries on the Paramount reality TV series “The Family Stallone.” He explained needing a seventh surgery due to injuries sustained from pro wrestling star “Stone Cold” Steve Austin while filming “The Expendables” in 2010, per </span><a href="https://www.tmz.com/2024/02/20/sylvester-stallone-warns-actors-own-stunts-seven-surgeries-injuries/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">TMZ</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I did stupid stuff. I was directing ‘Expendables’ and like an idiot I’m doing take ten, take whatever, and I remember one slam and I could actually feel one ‘bang’. Steve knew,” Stallone explained. “I never recovered from Expendables 1. After that film, it was never physically the same. I’ve warned people — don’t do your own stunts.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He continued with a joke, saying his next role might be playing Quasimodo in “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The incident led to the “Rocky” star needing to get a metal plate inserted into his neck. He later had to have spinal fusions and treatment for dislocated shoulders.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Stallone’s wife, Jennifer Flavin, said her husband tries to &#8220;mask the pain&#8221; and &#8220;pretend like it didn&#8217;t happen.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;He doesn’t like people to know he’s had so many back surgeries. It’s very scary for our family every time Sly has to go through surgery, because you never know . . . no one knows,&#8221; she said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The actor’s 21-year-old daughter also weighed in on the situation. &#8220;My whole childhood, he’s been in pain,” she said. “He did everything he could to push through the pain and be present but I couldn’t imagine every waking moment you are just hurting.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This revelation comes just after Stallone said he had his daughters prepare for a move to New York City by training with Navy SEALS. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It was the hardest. It was about six hours we were in those woods,” his daughter Sistine said. “Sophia and I got our asses whooped by these guys. They were the real deal … And I’m not surprised my dad put us through something like this because our entire life we grew up with him doing these sort of military-esque, self-defense trainings.” </span></p>
