“HGH (human growth hormone) is nothing. Anyone who calls it a steroid is grossly misinformed. Testosterone to me is so important for a sense of well-being when you get older.
Everyone over 40 years old would be wise to investigate it because it increases the quality of your life. Mark my words. In 10 years it will be over the counter.”
Appearing on Howard Stern's radio show, Stallone, once the paramour of ex model Janice Dickinson, revealed some of their past.
Stallone broke off with a pregnant Dickinson when he learned the paternity of their "love child" belonged to another man.
Earlier this month, Dickinson told Fox News's Red Eye: "He juiced me. I'd wake up and my arm was as big as Popeye - steroids, testosterone, all that stuff that people say [mimicking Stallone], 'Hey, it's not that good 'cause you get really big, you know what I mean?"
Stallone addressed her allegations on Howard Stern's show:
"The only thing I injected her with was my fist," he joked.
Stallone also dished a bit on tall Brigitte Nielsen, who was described as one of the "least crazy" women he's dated and that Angie Everhart was "demented".
