Sylvester Stallone was originally apprehensive about being appointed a “special ambassador” to Hollywood by President Donald Trump.
The Rocky screenwriter and star recalled his original thoughts about the ambassadorship in The Sunday Times. He told POTUS it would be “impossible” and that he would not accept the position “if they had asked me in the beginning.”
“Because Hollywood, I guess it’s like feudal states,” Stallone said. “They have their little kingdoms. You don’t go in and tell six studios how to do things. And Mel Gibson and Jon Voight, we’re kind of do-our-own-thing people. No, it won’t work.”
He continued, “I said thank you and ciao, because it’s impossible. Hollywood works and it will evolve. It’s corporate and corporate people won’t want to hear me tell them about finance.”
The three-time Academy Award nominee had no idea he would be appointed a “special ambassador.”
“Well, it just happened. I was watching TV one night and they go, ‘So Stallone and Mel Gibson and Jon Voight will be …’” Stallone recalled. “And I went, ‘What?’ I said, ‘Excuse me? Really?’ Because if they had asked me in the beginning, I would have said, this is not possible.”
While the First Blood star did not believe in the ambassadorship, he has publicly supported the president in the past. At a Mar-a-Lago gala celebrating Trump’s election win in 2024, Stallone called him “the second George Washington.”
“We’re in the presence of a really mythical character,” he said at the event. “I love mythology. This individual does not exist on this planet. Nobody in the world could have pulled off what he pulled off, so I’m in awe.”
