Sylvester Stallone has loomed large in our popular imagination for 50 years, ever since he exploded onto the screen playing the iconic underdog boxer Rocky Balboa in a film he wrote and that went on to win the Academy Award for best picture. In the 1980s, Stallone became the face of a new era of action movies in which he (and his one-time nemesis Arnold Schwarzenegger) modeled a very specific type of masculinity: physically imposing, morally unambiguous and emotionally aloof. Now 80, and with a new memoir, titled “The Steps," Stallone is ready to examine his own life, his work and the impact it has had on our culture. Stallone joined Lulu-Garcia Navarro on “The Interview” for a candid and at times shocking conversation. The actor explained how his disturbing childhood motivated the tough-guy image he showed the world. He also reflected on his Hollywood missteps and the pain he caused to his loved ones, his body and himself. [00:00:00] Sylvester Stallone’s new memoir [00:02:59] A
