He and his wife of 25 years, Jennifer Flavin, announced their split in August but called it off a month later.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s just say that it was a very tumultuous time,\u201d Stallone told the publication. \u201cThere was a reawakening of what was more valuable than anything, which is my love for my family. It takes precedence over my work, and that was a hard lesson to learn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/parents\">father<\/a> of five mentioned how his focus on his career affected his children and their relationship even now. Stallone shares two sons with his previous wife and three daughters with Flavin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t pay enough attention when they were growing up,\u201d the Golden Globe award winner admitted. \u201cI was so career-oriented, and now I go, \u2018OK, I don\u2019t have that much runway up ahead, and I want to start asking them about their lives.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While he regrets the mistakes he made in the past, Stallone told The Times he\u2019s working on those relationships now, especially the ties with his daughters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI ask them about their day, and they started at first a little monosyllabic,\u201d he continued.\u201dThen I heard one say, \u2018I was just thinking about you.\u2019 Oh, my God. I\u2019ve never heard that before in my life. When a daughter knows you care, she\u2019s there forever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in the interview, the action star shared some advice for up-and-comers, urging them to prioritize physical safety.<\/p>\n<p>Stallone said that the action film genre has \u201cchanged radically when it became possible to Velcro your muscles on,\u201d and that current actors should use these changes to their advantage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t do your own stunts, that\u2019s the moral of that,\u201d he advised. \u201cBut the special effects became more important than the person. Life is a matter of managing your ass-whipping,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s why I\u2019ve always been a fan of defeated fighters. The undefeated boxer? I\u2019m not interested.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The actor also said he never expected Rocky and Rambo to be associated with politics.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t even know what a Republican or a Democrat was until I was 30 years old. I really didn\u2019t until I went to Hollywood,\u201d he explained. \u201cI didn\u2019t know wrapping myself in a flag in Rocky would throw down the gauntlet.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sylvester Stallone is fresh off a marriage reconciliation and is reflecting on how he handled the balance of career and family responsibilities in the past.
