Sylvester Stallone says keeping ‘Rocky’ statue was a dealbreaker for Adele to buy his home
Sylvester Stallone has revealed that Adele was so intent on keeping the acting star’s Rocky statue when buying his home, that she was willing to walk away from the deal altogether.The British singer bought the actor’s Los Angeles mansion last year for a reported $58million (£45million), which features a statue of Stallone’s iconic character from the boxing franchise overlooking the pool.In a new interview with The Wall Street Journal, Stallone revealed that he originally wanted to take the statue with him when he moved.But the ‘Easy On Me’ singer apparently told Stallone: “That’s a no deal. That’s gonna blow the whole deal.”The actor eventually let the singer keep the statue, sharing: “I like what she’s doing, she’s making it gorgeous.”Adele is now completely renovating the LA house, according to TMZ.Stallone created and starred in the 1976 film Rocky, which was followed by six more instalments: Rocky II (1979), Rocky III (1982), Rocky IV (1985), Rocky V (1990), and Rocky Balboa (2006).
