Last week Sylvester Stallone released some of his old pictures taken with his co-actors during the Rocky III Shoot. The pictures detailing his diet and tough training schedules, apparently, gone viral when he shared on his Instagram.
According to Men's Health, as a part of the training exercise to boost up his muscles in the movie Rocky III, Sylvester Stallone shredded a lot of fat to as low as 2.9%. This is considered as a dangerously low level of fat content in the body. In the movie, Stallone was put on a high-protein diet, lacked both mental and physical energy and appeared light headed during the shoots.
Sylvester Stallone further revealed on his Instagram that in between breaks, he was forced to do handstands to appear full-blooded face during the shooting. He apparently revealed his strict daily diet consisting Brown Rice, Tuna, Oatmeal and 25 cups of coffee and honey.
Though the diet has literally made him weak, Sylvester Stallone liked it because the character demands strict regimen. Incidentally, Sylvester Stallone is the Scriptwriter and Director for the movie. So, he knows exactly what it means to be a Rocky. He added that " I wanted the movie to be about change.
