Sylvester Stallone was one of my childhood celebrity crushes back in the day. I first saw a glimpse of him while watching Rambo at my neighbor's house. In that movie, he was John Rambo, a courageous soldier who specialized in very violent rescue and revenge missions. Instead of focusing on the film's action-filled scenes, my eyes and ears were glued on Sly's ripped muscles, sleepy eyes, and sexy bedroom voice. Then, I next saw him as Rocky Balboa, the boxer who overcame all odds to fight for love and glory. I used to envy his love interest on that film and imagined myself to be in her shoes.
