The Danish star shot to fame in the '80s thanks to her burgeoning modeling career, which led to a role in 1985's Rocky IV alongside Sylvester Stallone. Brigitte portrayed the villainous Ludmilla Drago in the hit film, and fell in love with Sylvester on set. 

She was just 22 years old when the film was released in theaters, and she tied the knot with the action star that same year. The pair went their separate ways in 1987, and briefly reunited in 2018 on the set of Creed II.

"[My marriage] to Sylvester Stallone was so long ago. I never think about him. Sometimes it feels like it never even happened," she told People. 

"I have no idea what that guy is up to. You move on, you know? You're so busy doing other things that it can be like, 'Wait, what was his name again?'"

Brigitte reflected on returning to the Creed II set after splitting from Sylvester decades prior, sharing that they were the picture of professionalism. "In 1985 I was married to Sylvester and this time I am the ex-wife," she told the publication. "But it was wonderful to have half of the cast there 32 years later. Who could have ever dreamed that you pick up the same roles many years after?"

"We are two professionals, and we kept it that way," she added. "He stayed in the American corner, and I stayed in the Russian corner. We were on opposite sides, but it was pleasant."

Brigitte shared with People that she had never felt better than in her 60s, and was not afraid of aging.

"I'm just really comfortable in my own skin, which I wasn't for a long time," she said. "It's nice to be 60 and feel quite pleased with what you look like."

"My attitude on that one is I take it one day at a time," she added. "I can't always be worrying about my looks. I want to live life fully every day. And if I'm totally miserable with the way I look at 70, I'll do something about it."
