To be hailed as one of the greatest of all time in the film industry is a dream for many stars, but not all of them can claim that or be revered just because they want to. This needs hard work and determination to make it into a reality, something that Hollywood icon Sylvester Stallone is all too familiar with.

Popular as one of the biggest action stars of his generation, his long and illustrious career in the business has certainly awarded him with fame, fortune, and accolades. But even with such a rich career spanning more than half a century, there is still one major record in Hollywood that he might never break.

Sylvester Stallone Can Never Break Zoe Saldana’s One Career Record

There are many ways that a star can be recognized for their talents in the film industry, the biggest one among them is to churn out commendable and consistent results. On this front, Hollywood’s biggest action star Sylvester Stallone has all the basics covered.

Being one of the most bankable actors to this day, the actor has created a reputation for himself that he consistently delivers on, the Rocky and Rambo franchises are a great example. But even with so many films in his career, the star might never beat Zoe Saldana‘s record.

To put it into perspective, the Demolition Man star started his career back when the actress wasn’t even born. Stallone started appearing in films in the 1970s, whereas the Avatar actress was born in 1978, and made her debut in the industry in 2000 with Nicholas Hytner’s Center Stage.

Therefore, the actor had a pretty big lead in making a giant impact at the box office. And while he did with his iconic and successful franchises, it’s nowhere close to what Saldana managed to achieve in her career.

Zoe Saldana, famous for playing Gamorra in MCU’s Guardians of the Galaxy, holds the title of being the only actress in history to have four of her films hit the legendary $2 Billion mark. These include the Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame films, as well as both of the installments in the Avatar franchise.

On the other hand, Stallone’s most iconic Rocky franchise is worth $1.7 Billion. In fact, his single highest-grossing film is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, a film where Saldana plays one of the lead roles.

Looking at his career now, it’s impossible to think that Stallone will be able to catch up to her in the future.

While he may have had a long time to build his career in the industry, which has now paid off in the long run, his beginnings weren’t what most people might think for a star of his stature. It may not be widespread, but it’s also not a secret that Stallone started his acting career by featuring in a 1970 softcore p*rn film named The Party at Kitty and Stud’s.

The star has also been open about it all, talking about the reason for doing this film, which was that he was flat broke and at the end of his ropes during that time. Therefore, to not completely go down a dark path, he chose to make an adult film to get some money so he could eat.
