Sylvester Stallone revealed that the iconic statue from his hit 1976 film “Rocky” managed to nudge Adele to buy his plush California mansion.
Speaking to The Wall Street Journal, the actor, 76, said the 16-time Grammy winner signed on the dotted line for the luxe $58 million estate after Stallone complied with her request to leave the poolside statue of the fictional boxer — despite his initial intention to take it.
“She said, ‘That’s a no deal. That’s gonna blow the whole deal,'” he recalled. “She wanted the statue.”
