Singer Adele recently made an offer to buy Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone’s mansion, showcasing her immense admiration for the ‘Rocky’ franchise. However, her purchase came with a unique condition.
The Contingency
Adele, a huge fan of ‘Rocky,’ insisted on keeping the poolside statue of the fictional boxer as part of the deal. Stallone initially expressed his desire to retain the statue, but Adele firmly stated that it was a deal-breaker.
Adele’s Renovations
Having acquired the mansion, Adele is currently occupied with renovating the property. Stallone appreciates her efforts, remarking that she is making the home truly beautiful.
Stallone and the ‘Rocky’ Franchise
Sylvester Stallone, who played the iconic character Rocky Balboa, first appeared in the 1976 film ‘Rocky.’ The movie’s success led to a series of films released during the 1980s, culminating with ‘Rocky V’ in 1990. Stallone reprised his role in the 2006 film ‘Rocky Balboa,’ the franchise’s sixth installment.
‘Creed’ Spin-off
In 2015, Stallone returned as Rocky Balboa in the ‘Creed’ spin-off, starring Michael B. Jordan. Ryan Coogler directed the film and co-wrote the screenplay with Aaron Covington. Stallone continued his involvement in the franchise by co-writing the script for ‘Creed II’ in 2018, alongside Juel Taylor.
Stallone’s Protectiveness
Stallone has been fiercely protective of the ‘Rocky’ characters. When news broke about a spin-off film centered on the character Drago, Stallone criticized original producer Irwin Winkler, expressing his dissatisfaction with the exploitation of his creations.
Dolph Lundgren’s Statement
Dolph Lundgren, who portrayed Drago, released a statement indicating that he believed Stallone was involved as a producer or actor in the spin-off project. Lundgren revealed that no approved script, deals, or director were in place at the time.
With Adele’s unwavering dedication as a fan and Stallone’s passion for protecting the ‘Rocky’ legacy, the mansion’s sale and subsequent renovations have become a testament to the enduring impact of the beloved film franchise.
