Sylvester Stallone Has ‘Millions of Regrets’ About Doing His Own Stunts: ‘I’m An Idiot for Doing That’ - Yahoo
Sylvester Stallone is opening up about how decades of daredevilry have affected him—and why he considers himself an "idiot" for continuing to do his own stunts year after year. In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, the "Rocky" actor said he has "millions, millions of regrets" about his action career. "I could literally spend a half hour talking about injuries, the amount, not even like one, I'm talking about 30 hours, 30 minutes of just individual ones, because it becomes compounded. I have been injured many, many times, but after 'Expendables,' I ended up with nine back operations, three neck fusions. Both shoulders ripped out, eye, you know, all kinds of lens put … it's been brutal," he said, adding that he's never been "quite the same" since the surgeries.

While filming a scene where Stallone got tackled by WWE legend Steve Austin, the stunt went wrong and left Stallone with dislocated shoulders and a fractured neck that required more than seven back surgeries.
