"Even if you haven't done anything wrong, you feel a terrible sense of failure. I still feel it today. I can't even look at a photo; I don't have any of his at home. It's too horrible. He made films. He was different; he wasn't someone of physical action, but rather intellectual: he liked horror films and strange foreign cinema. I know that it was difficult for him to be my son" , he pointed out.

'Sylvester Stallone analyzes the "new masculinity"'

Through a reflection on the gym and sculpted bodies, Stallone has analyzed the differences between men and women in some aspects related to masculinity. The actor believes that men have a need to test themselves and demonstrate their strength.

"Men need to conquer something to prove their masculinity. It's part of their nature. That's why they go to war . Only men do crazy things, like jumping out of windows or riding motorcycles recklessly. I never see women doing those things. Every man needs to test himself to see if he is brave," he specified.

A reflection that has also led him to question the concept of "new masculinity", which he acknowledges he does not have a clear definition of.

"I don't even know. What is that (the new masculinity)? A real man is physical. That's what he was put on this planet for. It's what he was and what he has always been," he concluded.
