Behold, The Shirtless Evolution of Sylvester Stallone

Sylvester Stallone shirtless through the years

Matthew McConaughey may be Hollywood's reigning shirtless superstar, but long before he first bared his abs onscreen, Sylvester Stallone had mastered the art of gratuitous torso in each Rocky installment, Rambo film and a number of other action titles.
