Sylvester Stallone’s father prepared him for rejection

The Expendables III actor, who is recently busy promoting his film that will release on August 15, says it’s his dad who taught him how to deal with rejection, because that's what the show business is all about. Though his relationship with his father never underwent major scrutiny, those weren't happy times, and that made this high-flying action star stronger than we already know him.

He went off record to say, "It was a real rough relationship. He taught me to be very combative. Rejection can really turn you into a winner, or it can expose you as a real loser. I was in the rejection business. Show-business is that. My father, because he was so difficult, made me very, very resilient. And spiteful. In other words, I'm gonna do it in spite of you."
