Respect to him for being open and honest. Most actors lie and claim to be natty.

i feel like it's a pretty big deal for a man to admits this, not just the steroids but also the eating disorder. seems to be a lot less spoken about in male circles

As a woman it’s nice to hear about men also struggling with calories, binge eating etc… And also to see what he put his body through to deliver the performances he did.

Luis :
Let’s not forget a BIGGGG part of his drive was to get affirmation and love from his Dad, who literally was against him. Really sad when you think about it. Sly is still a living legend.

Sly, you already were a star but you’re an extra big star for making this known. I’m sure it’ll resonate with a lot of men.

Stallone is the quietest biggest living legend. So many have no idea of his sacrifices, his creations all on his own.
