Sylvester Stallone recently revealed he underwent more than half a dozen back surgeries after a stunt on the set of the first Expendables film left him with injuries from which he “never recovered.”

In the newly released second season of his Paramount+ reality series, The Family Stallone, the 77-year-old Rocky star says he was forced to go under the knife seven different times after filming a fight scene that involved getting body-slammed by “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.
