Social media was awash recently with news of the death of Sylvester Stallone, an American actor and filmmaker. The death rumor started on Twitter, from a supposed fraudulent website known for circulating celebrity hoaxes. The fraudulent news had it that the Rocky Star, as he is known, died of Cancer, and fans went viral with shares and comments of RIP.
The award-winning actor, who was also voted into the non-participatory category of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, reacted from his home on Twitter, saying that he is alive, well, happy, healthy, and still punching. He also added, “Remember to always grab LIFE by the throat and do not let go until you succeed.”

Sylvester Stallone, 71 & father of five, is the main actor behind the Rambo film. Do you also know that he is paralyzed in some parts of his face because of an accidentally severed nerve that arose during his birth? This occurred when obstetricians had to use two pairs of forceps to deliver him, as a result of complications his mother suffered during labor.
