Sylvester was born with paralysis in several parts of his face because his mother’s obstetricians misused forceps during his birth and damaged nerves.

Sylvester studied at Notre Dame Academy before switching to Lincoln High School, and later to Charlotte Hall Military Academy.

The following years saw him make an appearance in various popular movies, such as “Klute”, “The Prisoner of Second Avenue” and “The Lords of Flatbush”. He became famous worldwide after he wrote and starred in the movie “Rocky”.

Sylvester and Sasha divorced on 14 February 1985, and on 15 December of the same year, he married the famous Danish actress and model Brigitte Nielsen; the marriage lasted for two years.
In February 2001, Margie Carr, an exotic dancer, filed a lawsuit against Sylvester claiming that he raped her at a fitness center in Santa Monica on 26 February 2000. It was soon revealed that Margie had sold the story to a supermarket tabloid a month prior, and the case was thus closed. In 2016, it was reported that he was accused of sexually assaulting a 16 year-old girl together with his bodyguard, but his former wife Brigitte claimed that he was with her, and his fellow actor David Athen Mendenhall claimed that the rumors weren’t true, and that it was him who introduced the two. He was accused of another sexual assault in November 2017, but wasn’t charged because of a lack of witnesses.
