Adele demanded that she keep Sylvester Stallone's prized poolside Rocky statue when she purchased his $58 million mansion in Los Angeles.
Adele refused to let Sylvester Stallone keep his Rocky statue after buying his house. Stallone rose from relative obscurity when he starred in 1976's Rocky as the titular hard-nosed club fighter from Philadelphia who gets a once-in-a-lifetime shot at the world heavyweight championship. Over the years, Stallone returned to his career-defining role as Rocky Balboa a total of seven times, including in the Creed spinoff films.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT During a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal for his new reality show The Family Stallone, the Rocky actor revealed an odd celebrity interaction he had with Adele. The 16-time Grammy winner bought his $58 million mansion in Los Angeles last year and as part of the purchase, Adele wanted Stallone's poolside Rocky statue despite his initial intention to keep it.
She said, “That’s a no deal. That’s gonna blow the whole deal.” She wanted the statue. I like what she’s doing, she’s making it gorgeous. Sylvester Stallone's Old House Isn't Home To The Only Rocky Statue Though Stallone lost his prized poolside Rocky statue while selling his home to Adele, it isn't the only sculpture in existence honoring his larger-than-life boxer. There's the more well-known Rocky statue located at the bottom of the stairs to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which the character famously climbs in the film. Over the years, the statue has been moved a number of times around the museum.
