Sylvester Stallone

About Sylvester Stallone

Sylvester Stallone, born in 1946 and active through the present day, is an iconic actor whose historical importance stems primarily from his creation and portrayal of the characters Rocky Balboa and John Rambo. These roles cemented his status as a definitive figure in late 20th-century cinema, earning him a robust Historical Popularity Index (HPI) rank of #143 out of the roughly 15,000 figures tracked by the Pantheon project for his global cultural impact.

Despite this significant historical standing, his modern internet attention, based on 4.6 million Wikipedia views in 2025, suggests an overemphasis relative to his rank. His Attention Gap is calculated at +8x, meaning his online visibility is eight times what might be expected given his HPI placement. This suggests that in the digital realm, his cultural resonance remains exceptionally high. For context, this level of attention dwarfs that of highly influential historical figures like J.S. Bach (#45 importance) who garnered only 1.3M views in the same year.

The data also indicates a minor cooling of immediate interest, with his 2025 viewership declining by -23.7% year-over-year. However, recent interest remains relatively steady, evidenced by a positive 2025 Momentum of +10% when comparing Q1 to Q3 traffic.
