Sylvester Stallone sold his dog for $60

par Freddenver: Rocky

Sylvester Stallone shared a story about the difficult choices he made before his big break. He turned down $360,000 for the 'Rocky' script and had to sell his dog for just $60 in order to feed his family. 'I had to sell my dog, we didn’t have any food to feed him. It’s either him or my wife. It’s one of those things , we rolled the dice and it paid off.' Stallone's gamble certainly worked out, as 'Rocky' went on to become an iconic film.
