He turned down Romancing the Stone

In an attempt to avoid being typecast following the success of ‘Rocky’, Stallone took on the role of an aspiring country singer in ‘Rhinestone’.

However, at the time, he was also offered the lead role in ‘Romancing the Stone’ but turned it down to star in ‘Rhinestone’.

He later regretted his decision after ‘Romancing the Stone’ banked $115 million at the box office.
