Sylvester Stallone's real life is no less dramatic than a movie. Stallone, who gained worldwide recognition through iconic characters like 'Rocky' and 'Rambo', was born on July 6, 1946, in New York. At the time of his birth, the improper use of forceps by doctors severed a key nerve in his face. This medical negligence left the lower left side of his face permanently paralyzed, affecting both his speech and facial features.
