Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer Flavin at Rocky Balboa Knockout party held at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino. Las Vegas, Nevada - 19.12.06

The Rocky star is grateful for his spouse Jennifer Flavin's frankness early on in his career, because her stern talks have prevented Stallone from developing a big ego.

He explains, "She said: 'You are a truly horrible person... You're insensitive to everything except things that are about you'.

"Now I listen. You should see my house - all women. Even the dogs are female plus the housekeeper! I don't win one argument.

"Ninety-five per cent of the time, women are right, though. They can be emotional but they're right. Like when they say your shoes look like s**t or your tie is wrong."
