The future actor’s eyes were only half open for a while, and his lips, cheeks and tongue are still somewhat paralyzed.

That’s why Stallone has a strong speech impediment.That’s why he was ignored in class and had to endure daily teasing by students.

Even his teachers considered Sylvester mentally retarded because he could not articulate his thoughts clearly. Golf, horse sports and painting helped the actor to overcome all that.
