Sylvester Stallone says the ‘Rocky’ statue was a deciding factor in Adele buying her house

Sylvester Stallone has revealed that Adele was so impressed with keeping the actor’s Rocky statue when she bought her house, she was willing to back out of the deal altogether.

The British singer bought the actor’s Los Angeles mansion last year for an estimated 58 million dollars (45 million pounds), which has a statue of Stallone’s iconic character from the boxing franchise overlooking the pool.

In a new interview with the Wall Street Journal, Stallone revealed that he wanted to take the statue with him when he moved.

But the ‘Easy On Me’ singer has apparently told Stallone: ​​”There’s no deal. That’s going to beat the whole deal.”

In the end, the actor let the singer keep the statue: “I like what she’s doing, she’s doing beautifully.”

Adele is giving her Los Angeles home a complete makeover, according to TMZ.

Stallone created and starred in Rocky (1976), followed by six installments: Rocky II (1979), Rocky III (1982), Rocky IV (1985), Rocky V (1990) and Rocky Balboa ( 2006). The spin-off Creed, starring Michael B. Jordan, was released in 2015, followed by Creed II in 2018 and Creed III this year.

News broke in May that Stallone would return for a sequel to the 1993 action thriller Cliffhanger.

On the other hand, Adele is among the richest Britons under 35, along with Ed Sheeran and Harry Styles.

At 35, the London singer is worth an estimated £165 million and has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide. His fourth studio album, “30”, was released in November 2021.

In a three-star review, NME wrote that the “reliable pop titan finally mixes things up”, adding: “Before accused of playing it safe, Adele enters a new decade experimenting with edgier sounds. The results are intriguing, but uneven.”

The singer recently announced, during her final “Weekends With Adele” concerts, that she was extending her residency in Las Vegas.

The singer had been playing the Colosseum at Caesars Palace since November, but confirmed on stage that she would be returning to Las Vegas for more shows. The 34 new shows started on June 16 and will run until November 4, 2023.
