Sergio Stallone: photo, biography

Sergio Stallone is the son of the world famous American actor Sylvester Stallone, who embodied on the screens images of Rocky Balboa, Barney Ross, John Rambo and other fearless heroes. He, unlike his father, never thought about world fame and acting career. Since birth, the son of a star suffers from autism and lives in his inner world, where there is no access to strangers.

The Sergio family

The Italian "stallion" Sylvester Stallone, despite its stunning success, it is difficult to call the darling of fate. At the birth of the actor, the facial nerve was damaged due to the fault of the doctors, because of which he subsequently paralyzed the lower part of the face. Birth trauma led to the development of speech defects, the elimination of which took a long time for Sly. In addition, doctors from childhood suspected the actor of autism, but, fortunately, their fears were not confirmed. In his youth, Stallone did not even realize that the ailment, which he miraculously managed to avoid himself, still overtake his family. In 1979, the rapidly gaining popularity of Sylvester Stallone was born the son of Sergio. After 3 years, experts diagnosed the boy with autism.

Sergio Stallone was born in a marriage to Slia with American actress and photographer Sasha Zak. In addition to him, the couple had another son - Sage, who was born in 1976. Unfortunately, Sergio's elder brother died suddenly in 2012 from a heart attack caused by atherosclerosis. Also, Stallone's son has half-sisters Sofia, Sistin and Scarlet, born from the marriage of his father with model Jennifer Flavin.

Early Years of a Boy

When the son Stallone Sergio was born, he looked quite normal child. The young spouses, who brought up the three-year-old Sage, were unspeakably happy about the birth of the second baby. They looked happy and proudly demonstrated their offspring to others. At the age of three, the little Sergio appeared with his famous father on the cover of the popular American edition of People. In the photo it was clear how much Sli was proud of his son, but already at that time he and his wife began to have their first fears about his health.

A disappointing diagnosis

Unlike active and curious Sage, who easily found a common language with everyone around him, Sergio Stallone grew up as a boy closed and unsociable. In 3 years he was not interested in communicating with parents and peers, he did not seek to interact with society. Sylvester and Sasha, concerned about the behavior of the youngest son, which was unusual for children, showed it to the doctor. The diagnosis of "autism", delivered to the kid by specialists, led the star couple into a state of shock and confusion. However, there could be no mistake: the youngest son Stallone was a child with congenital abnormalities in mental development and required a special approach to himself.

Fight for the son

Confused Sly and Sasha at first did not understand how to continue living with such a son. However, after recovering from the shock, they decided to fight for the future of their baby. Sylvester Stallone Sergio could not spend a lot of time due to constant filming in the cinema, so Sasha made a wise decision: let her husband provide the family, and she will throw a film career and completely devote herself to the child. So it happened: Sly started to work with redoubled energy, and his wife at that time took Sergio to the best doctors, hoping to grow from him a full member of society. After a careful examination it was possible to find out that the boy's brain is not damaged, which means that the chances of instilling in him communication skills are quite high.

Thanks to the efforts of Sasha and the money earned by Stallone on the filming of films, a research fund for studying the problems of autism was established in America. Although Sly was not the richest man in the country, he did not stint and transferred large sums to the fund. His wife, he called a real fighter and repeatedly said in an interview that in saving their child, she does the hardest job.

Results of treatment

Soon the efforts and money spent on Sergio's treatment began to bear the first fruits. The kid began to communicate with parents in simple words and phrases such as "Close," "Open," "I Want It," etc. As a child, Slia's younger son liked music, and he often asked his mother to include cheerful songs. Nor was the boy indifferent to comic books. His favorite character was the cheerful merry fellow Charlie Brown.

One day, Sasha decided to show the kid the film "Rocky", where the main role played Sylvester Stallone. Sergio's son watched the film carefully and while watching the episode in which they showed a fight, he started calling for help, repeating: "No, no, please help!". He sincerely worried about the main character of the film, which could not but please his mother.

Divorce of parents

Sergio's treatment consistently required a lot of money, and Stallone literally lived on set-ups. Work on wear led to the fact that in 1985 on the shooting of "Rocky-4" the actor had a heart attack, for a week and a half chained him to a hospital bed. Longer the actor could not afford to hurt, because it depended on the future of little Sergio.

After leaving the hospital, Stallone returned to shooting the fourth part of "Rocky", but the frequent separation from Sasha led to the fact that the couple moved away from each other. Zak increasingly blamed her husband for his son's illness, and he, in turn, did not consider it shameful to change her with other women. In 1985, after 10 years of marriage, the couple decided to part ways. After the divorce, Sergio and his brother stayed with their mother in a rented house in Malibu. A few months later, Sly married for the second time, choosing himself as a life companion Danish model, Brigitte Nielsen. In 1997, Sergio's stepfather became musician Rick Ash, for whom his mother was married.

Further relationship with father

After parting with Sasha, Stallone rarely saw Sergio. He still helped him financially, but he had very little time to communicate with his son. Infrequent meetings with Sergio led Slia into a state of despair. He blamed himself for not being a real companion for the child, understanding his inner world. Sylvester Stallone compared his son to the radio, which then catches a signal and reacts to others, then turns off and goes deep into himself. Despite the availability of big money and opportunities, the actor was powerless before Sergio's ailment and could not completely cure him.

The life of Slia's son today

After the divorce, her mother was brought up by Sergio Stallone. The biography of the youngest son of the famous actor was not remarkable for his illness. Sergio has long been no longer a child, in 2016 he turned 37 years old. He leads a quiet and self-contained life, does not communicate with journalists and practically does not go out to the public. Stallone regularly visits his son, pays for his treatment and tries to support him in every possible way. After the sudden death of Sage's eldest son, Sly began to treat his youngest son with increased attention and care.

Sergio Stallone, whose photo is practically not published today, helped to become his stellar father truly strong and enduring. Earning money for his treatment, Sly worked hard, and thanks to this he became a world celebrity. Despite the gravity that fell in the actor's life, he always loved Sergio, and never thought about abandoning him.
