Sylvester Stallone: tough guys today are getting their hair done at Hollywood hairdressers

February 10th, 2008 by MJ

The star of Rambo 4 says  ”I’ve been looking for the next Robert Mitchum or Steve McQueen and they just don’t exist. Tough guys today are getting their hair done at Hollywood hairdressers. Whatever happened to having a beer and scratching your balls?”

“After Vietnam there was a need for escapism. Rambo led to the birth of the real uber action film. I was part of that group with Arnold (Schwarzenegger] and Bruce (Willis] and there was a definite theme. It was about one-man armies.”

“When you come from nothing and you are given everything – money, women, limos – it’s crazy. It was all about me and my work and the excitement and the grandeur. Everything that detracted from me and my fame tended to suffer and wilt in the shade of my own glory.” Fascinating interview.
