Hollywood icon Sylvester Stallone has captivated audiences for decades with his on-screen prowess. In the glitzy world of Hollywood, where fame flickers like lights, only a few names burn brighter than the rest and Stallone is, of course, one of those names.
But beyond the realm of Hollywood, his dedication to his family extends far deeper than any fictional portrayal. He is a proud father to five children – two sons with his first wife and three daughters with his third wife. Being a protective dad, Stallone recently did something that attracted quite a few eyes towards him – enlisting Navy SEALs to train his daughters!
Sylvester Stallone Hired Navy SEALs to Train His 3 Daughters Before Moving To New York
In a recent interview with The New York Post, Sophia and Sistine Stallone shared some details from their personal lives. The daughters of Sylvester Stallone revealed their father’s protective nature before the two moved to New York City to live.
The Rambo action star was nervous about his daughters living in The City that Never Sleeps. Thus, he had to hire Navy SEALs to ensure that the Stallone sisters could defend themselves if the situation demanded so. Per the sisters, this was not at all an easy task!
“It was the hardest. It was about six hours we were in those woods,” “Sophia and I got our as***s 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.” – Sistine Stallone to New York Post
Besides being trained by the SEALs, the girls were also trained by the Italian Stallion himself.
“It was a rigorous routine. Every day at 6 a.m., he (their father) would make us eat eggs with ketchup. For some reason, that combination … to bulk up,” “But then it was a lot of sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups, clean and jerks.” – Sophia Stallone to New York Post
Finally, their youngest sister Scarlet Sylvester “was so happy (she) was not involved” in these intense training sessions.
