“It’s very, very tough,” Stallone’s father said during an appearance on Good Morning America earlier this month. “It’s a horrible situation, but time hopefully will heal, and you try to get through it, but it’s just something that’s a reality of life."

Stallone made his acting debut in Rocky V, where he played son to his father’s boxing champion. He also appeared in the action star’s 1996 disaster film Daylight.
