8. Sylvester Stallone
There was even a time when Rocky star Sylvester Stallone had less than the eye of the tiger. As a young 24-year-old, Stallone found himself sleeping in a bus station, completely homeless. The young actor was offered a part in a skin flick called The Party at Kitty and Stud’s and after receiving the script, absolutely hated it and wanted nothing to do with it. Stallone states that he was at the very end of his rope though and was hopelessly desperate for work. It was either do the film or steal from a bank if he wanted to get his life together. The actor took the part in the soft core film and was paid $200 to bare it all. He used that $200 to get himself out of the bus station and then became one of the biggest stars in the world after getting cast in Rocky a few years later.
