Sylvester Stallone has admitted that the success of the film 'Rocky' made him insufferable, and made him think he had an authority on everything.

The 67-year-old actor told host Jonathan Ross in an interview at the London Palladium that he abused power badly, BBC reported.

Stallone claimed that he read some of the interviews that he had given earlier and wishes now if he could go back and punch himself in the face.

However, he added that once when he went to attend a first-day showing of 1978 drama 'Paradise Alley', he found only two people at the audience, of which one was sleeping.

He admitted that it was a humbling experience but a good thing for him in the long run.
