How did an unknown actor convince Hollywood bigshots to make Rocky? What was really behind Sly Stallone’s legendary rivalry with Arnold Schwarzenegger? And, how did football legend Pelé break the actor’s finger.

In this very special interview, Marina Hyde and Sylvester Stallone discuss his extraordinary career. Including his biggest regrets, and roles he wishes he took.

Sylvester reflects on half a century in Hollywood, answering why the industry has stopped taking risks, working with Dolly Parton and his ongoing hatred of Steven Seagal.
