Sylvester Stallone (76) can’t hold back his anger. The actor and screenwriter is best known for his “Rocky” films.

Dispute over “Rocky” rights “eats” Stallone’s soul
This topic is “painful” for the Hollywood star – it would “eat his soul,” said Stallone. He really wanted to be able to pass on part of “Rocky” to his children.
A few hours before he posted his post, Stallone had already given out David Winkler (53). He shared a review of Winkler’s book, The Arrangement: A Love Story, calling the biography “by far the worst” thing he’s ever read. In his tirade against David Winkler, Stallone also stated that if it weren’t for Irwin Winkler, “there would have been at least three other ‘Rockys'”. He described Winkler and his followers as “the worst, most inhuman creatures I have ever met in the film industry”.
