marriage to him was terrible

A number of people have to go through such a life test as a severe disappointment in marriage, which leaves a very unpleasant aftertaste behind. The Hollywood diva, Danish actress Bridget Nielsen did not escape this fate. If she could change something in the past, she would not have married one of the most stellar actors in 1985, Sylvester Stallone.

The beginning of the novel and marriage

Their first meeting happened when Stallone was at a hotel in Manhattan, and Bridget paid a bellboy $ 20 to slip her photo under his room door. The photo read:

“My name is Bridget Nielsen. I would love to meet you. Here is my number”.

Stallone called and upon meeting immediately said to the gorgeous tall blonde: “I want to get to know you better.” Their romance developed so quickly that the lovers went down the aisle a few months after they met.

Chilled feelings and divorce

“They were madly in love at the time” Recalls Irwin Winkler, Stallone’s longtime friend and producer of Rocky. However, the feelings quickly burned out, and after 19 months of marriage in 1987, the couple filed for divorce. The main blow fell on Nielsen. Some accused her of marrying Stallone’s money, others said that she used the star to develop her career, and others were sure that Bridget was recklessly cheating on the actor.

A little later, Nielsen told her vision of this story, claiming that she hesitated and thought for a long time whether to marry Stallone, and in the meantime he literally by storm sought her consent.

“Of course, I didn’t get married because of the money. Actually, it was he who begged and begged me to become his wife! – said Bridget in an interview with Oprah Winfrey. – I understood that the relationship is developing too quickly. And at the same time, who would refuse to marry Rocky himself? “

Now that the actress recalls that period, she regrets her decision:

“If I could rewind time back, I would not marry him. And he shouldn’t have married me! It was a terrible marriage. However, I am also imperfect and I do not want to pretend to be an angel. “

Career problems after breaking up with Stallone

Stallone, with his fame and popularity, quickly recovered from the divorce. But for Nielsen, it was different. The actress left America and settled in Europe, where she continued to build her life and career.

“When I left my husband, all doors were closed for me. I was blacklisted in Hollywood, says Bridget. “But I know four languages, and that gave me a chance to find a job and survive.”

30 years later, the ex-spouses reconciled after they met again on the set of the film “Creed II”.

“My heart was pounding frantically,” Nielsen admitted to the People… – More than three decades have passed since I played Lyudmila Drago in Rocky IV. In 1985 I was married to Sylvester, and this time I am an ex-wife. But we got along, we are two professionals. “
