Meet Your New Hairstylist: Rocky!

Who knew Rocky Balboa (or even John Rambo!) would wind up as a hairstylist one day? Sylvester Stallone, the creator of those indelible tough-guy characters, decided to try his hand with the scissors yesterday — and the victim… er, lucky customer was his pal Frank Pesce!

Sly may not be the first name that comes to mind when one thinks of stylish coifs, but he’s not a complete stranger to hair salons. His late father, Frank, made a fortune owning a string of beauty parlors in the Silver Spring, Md., area!

Sylvester was just nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for playing his signature character, boxer Rocky in “Creed.” However, like his original lovable loser, Sly came up short last month. But he's still hanging tough.

Sly was also nominated for an Oscar — in the lead category — for playing the same character in the original film, 1976’s “Rocky,” but also lost. He was nominated for writing the screenplay, as well, and... lost. The movie, however, did win Best Picture.

There is an Oscar for best makeup and hairstyling, but it’s unlikely Mr. Stallone will ever be a threat in that category.

Apparently, Sly decided to show his buddy some mercy and let a real pro take over!
