Sylvester Stallone in Australia: Rocky Fights with Customs Official

Sylvester Stallone is more known as Rocky. He went to Australia recently and after he went there it seems that he had to spend more time and energy with the custom officials than with the fans. I can easily say that he did not enjoy his trip to Australia this time at all. He hit the media headlines not for his film or acting but for his conflict with the Australian custom officials.

Daily Telegraph reported:

The actor had originally been stopped by Customs officers on Friday night after "prohibited'' substances - believed to be a type of human growth hormone - were found in luggage at Sydney airport.

The investigation was stepped up last night after the visit to his Sydney hotel room at 3pm yielded further evidence relating to the investigation over the importation of illegal substances.

Yesterday, a senior Customs source told The Daily Telegraph the investigation was fast-tracked after occupants of Stallone's room at the five-star Park Hyatt Hotel were seen throwing items out of the window.

Customs officials had visited the Hollywood megastar to issue him with a summons to answer charges on the prohibited substances, which would have required a court appearance by him or his legal representative at a later date.

I am sure that Sylvester Stallone wished he had some fans among the custom officials so that he would have better condition with them. May be, Sylvester Stallone will become wiser when he travels to Australia next time.
