Sylvester Stallone Reveals Struggle With Bulimia During Rambo Filming

Sylvester Stallone has spoken about his struggle with bulimia while filming Rambo, revealing an eating disorder behind the physical demands of his screen roles.

The actor’s disclosure touched on his experience with physically demanding performances over the decades. The brief account did not provide details about treatment or his current health.

Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder involving episodes of binge eating followed by attempts to compensate, such as self-induced vomiting, fasting or excessive exercise. It is not simply overeating, and a person’s appearance alone cannot establish whether they have the condition.

The disorder can have serious physical and psychological consequences, including dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Treatment typically involves specialist support addressing both eating behaviours and mental health, alongside medical care where needed.
