Sylvester Stallone<\/a> is getting candid about the struggles he experienced throughout his career.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview with Aarp<\/a>, the 79-year-old actor discussed feeling like Hollywood had abandoned him, noting that “For almost a decade, I couldn\u2019t find work.”<\/p>\n

“Nobody wanted me after ‘Cop Land.’ Even my agents,” he told the outlet. “I was fired from CAA. My personal manager at the time let me go. He said, ‘I can\u2019t do anything for you. Nobody really wants you anymore.’ And I go, ‘How\u2019d this happen?’ I was told these studios feel as though you\u2019re not what you were.”<\/p>\n

He recalled going to his former agent who was in charge of Universal Studios at the time, and telling him “please, I’ll take anything,” and hearing “I\u2019ll try to help you, but it\u2019s not up to me,” in response.<\/p>\n
