Sylvester Stallone has revealed the one dealbreaker Adele had before buying his Los Angeles mansion last year.

During an interview with The Wall Street Journal, published online Monday, the Rocky statue that overlooks the pool at his former home was brought up. When asked if he wanted to take it with him when he sold the house, the actor responded, “I did.”

But Adele had a different plan in mind — she wanted to keep the statue for herself. Stallone told the “Easy on Me” singer, “That’s a no deal. That’s gonna blow the whole deal.”

The actor let her keep the statue of his iconic character, boxer Rocky Balboa. He added, “I like what she’s doing, she’s making it gorgeous.”

According to TMZ, the singer was completely renovating the mansion she bought for $58 million.
