Sylvester Stallone is pretty much a household name after his numerous iconic roles and plethora of action movies from his start in the industry in the 70s onwards. With the amount of huge successes and unfortunate clunkers he's directed, written or starred in over the years, it's easy to see him as one of the
Hollywood elite who have an easy life.
While this is likely true now, the actor didn't always have it so easy. During the early 70s, before his breakout success with Rocky in 1976, he was struggling to find work or even pay the rent, even having to spend three weeks sleeping in a bus terminal at one low point. In many ways, the underdog story of Rocky was reflected in the actor's own life at the time, as the movie was a make-or-break situation for him.

This breakout hit went on to be the highest-grossing film of 1976 and won three Oscars, including Best Picture. This started off a career in the movies that continues to this day, making sure that Stallone's children have a much easier time achieving their dreams in life.
Stallone has had three marriages over the years, with two children from his initial marriage. In 1997 he married for the third time, tying the knot with the model (and now businesswoman) Jennifer Flavin, nearly a decade after they had first met. They were married in a civil ceremony at The Dorchester Hotel in London, and have since had three daughters together: Sophia, Sistine and Scarlet.

Now, they're all grown up and working as models. These youngest daughters, including the 21-year-old Sophia, 19-year-old Sistine, and 15-year-old Scarlet, are often highlighted in the Instagram feeds of both their parents.

Despite the years he's spent in macho action movies, Stallone's Instagram is far more on the sensitive side of things than you would expect. Most of the time he's embarrassing his daughters with terrible jokes, particularly the youngest daughter Scarlet, as any good dad should do.

But outside of the lives of their mother and father, the Stallone daughters have begun to rack up their own achievements too. At the 7th Golden Globe Awards in 2017, all three daughters were honoured as 'Miss Golden Globe', as well as posing together for Harper's Bazaar in the summer of that year.

Sophia, despite only being 21, was recently a judge on Project Runaway, and did a Dolce & Gabbana ad campaign with her 19-year-old sister Sistine. Both these girls are currently attending the University of Southern California, while Scarlet is still in high school.

Despite all their forays into these industries, it's Sistine that has followed her mother's modelling career the closest. She has signed with IMG models and has appeared on the pages of Teen Vogue already. Whatever they do next, it looks to be interesting - and maybe we'll be treated to some cameos from their dad on their Instagram from time to time.
