![]() The people who have done literally nothing, control it. Who knew Rocky would go on for another 45 years? I’ve never used one from anyone else - and the irony is that I don’t own any of it. At the time I was so excited to be working and I didn’t understand this is a business. It was a deal that was done unbeknownst to me by people that I thought were close to me and they basically gave away whatever rights I would have had. You made more headlines with your Instagram post in July asking Rocky producer Irwin Winkler to give you some of the rights to the character you created. Sometimes I put the work ahead of, and that is a tragic mistake which won’t happen again. It’s the John Lennon thing: “Life is what happens when you’re making other plans.” Hopefully, you’re involved with people who understand the foibles of life and the fragility of it and how rare a real good relationship is. Stallone with (from left) wife Jennifer Flavin and daughters Sistine and Sophia. Does it surprise you that the public is still interested, and is that going to be part of the show? You’ve had this surge of headlines lately about your personal life. But each time you go in a different direction, people go, “Oh God, you must be in trouble.” Just the opposite. I don’t look at it as stooping to conquer. This is a chance where I’m going to be with my kids under a work condition where they get to see me in action and I get to see them in action. ![]() I thought it would be the ultimate home movie. That’s one of the reasons I wanted to do the reality show that I’ve been taking a lot of shit for. Everyone goes, “I wish I’d shown love more” or “I wish I’d spent more time with the kids.” I’m riding that boat. Now you don’t have the luxury of missing – especially with the family and the kids. When you’re young, you’re just haphazardly shooting wildly and hope you hit something. Now I realize there are only so many bullets left in the gun. You’ve long said you were motivated by wanting to make up for a slew of unsuccessful movies you made in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He says he’s 75 and she flees the room in horror. There’s a scene in the Tulsa King pilot where your character, Dwight, sleeps with a woman and then she asks how old he is. Still, even Stallone admits it’s going to be a struggle to keep his box office streak rolling into another decade: “Seven is gonna be tough.” Though Stallone is 76 years old (How did that happen? He isn’t sure, either), the man’s energy and focus do not appear to have waned. There is also Stallone’s upcoming first-ever reality show, which will chronicle his home life, like Keeping Up With the Kardashians (an idea he will defend shortly). Stallone plays a mafioso released from prison who’s exiled to Oklahoma to rebuild his crime empire. ![]() And now, Stallone is back with his first TV show: Paramount+’s Tulsa King, the latest heartland series from Yellowstone co-creator Taylor Sheridan. “The shark counts.”Īh, right - 2021’s The Suicide Squad, where Stallone voiced King Shark. “Six,” interrupts Stallone, smiling and puffing on his fat cigar. "I told the boys that Bayern Munich were Ivan Drago, unstoppable and that we were Rocky, yet I looked out for the reaction and everyone was staring at me with dead eyes, I asked who was born when the film came out and only two raised their hands, my entire speech was nonsense, sometimes as human beings, we embarrass ourselves, that's how it is.SYLVESTER STALLONE Photographed By David Needleman ![]() "I needed to motivate the boys and I would always think of Rocky Balboa, so the night before we played Bayern, I gathered all of the players and I told them the truth of the situation, I then started playing some scenes from Rocky IV. "My Borussia Dortmund team were playing Bayern Munich, it was a huge match in the league, we hadn't won in Munich for something like 20 years," he explained in The Players' Tribune. Klopp's career with Dortmund was full of successes, mainly against the might of Bayern Munich, and this was exactly the message he was trying to convey ahead of one particular clash with the Bavarian giants. Liverpool are performing sensationally under Jurgen Klopp, and after lifting the Champions League in Madrid, the German coach was voted as the coach of the year on Monday, yet Klopp is not immune from embarrassment like the rest of us, as he made clear when recalling a time he told his Borussia Dortmund players about Rocky and Ivan Drago.
