A delightful turn of events unfolded when Adele purchased Sylvester Stallone’s former home for a staggering $58 million (£45.6 million). However, what made this transaction particularly interesting was Adele’s unique request to retain the beloved bronze Rocky statue that Sylvester had adorned the house with.
Sylvester, the iconic 76-year-old actor who portrayed the legendary boxer Rocky Balboa in the film franchise that captivated audiences since the 1970s, opened up about this amusing anecdote during an interview with the Wall Street Journal. He revealed that Adele had taken a liking to the statue, which proudly overlooked the pool area, depicting Rocky in his quintessential fist-pumping pose.
When Sylvester was asked if he intended to take the statue with him when he sold the house, he playfully responded, “I did.” However, to his surprise, Adele also expressed her fondness for the statue, declaring, “That’s a no deal. That’s gonna blow the whole deal.”
