Sylvester Stallone went to great lengths to get his body in the shape he wanted during “Rocky III” filming.
Speaking with The Wall Street Journal, Stallone said he would drink 25 cups of coffee a day at the time.
“My entire breakfast would be maybe two [small] oatmeal cookies made with brown rice and 10 cups of coffee because I wanted to keep my body fat down to 2.8 percent.”
Stallone said things got so intense his memory started getting messed up.
“I was forgetting my phone number. I was eating just tuna fish. My memory was shot, it was completely gone,” he said. “I was getting all kinds of debilitating physical effects. But it was for the cause.”
The actor has scaled back on the cups of java these days as he’s prone to acid reflux.
He went on saying that his wife, whom he reconciled with last year, is focused on breakfast as the most important meal.
“It’s amazing,” he told the publication. “It’s avocado, four eggs, cottage cheese, three slices of watermelon and grapes.”
