Sylvester Stallone Reveals Reaction to Trump Special Envoy Gig
Stallone said he first heard of the appointment on television and likely would have declined the role if Trump had asked him directly.
- Actor Sylvester Stallone recently explained he learned of his appointment as one of President Donald Trump's special ambassadors to Hollywood while watching television, surprising him entirely.
- In January 2025, Trump announced Stallone, Mel Gibson, and Jon Voight as special envoys, tasking the trio with serving as his "eyes and ears" to restore Hollywood to its "golden age."
- Stallone stated he told Trump the role was "impossible" because Hollywood functions like independent "feudal states" where giving orders to studios does not work, describing himself as a "do-our-own-thing" person.
- Although Stallone accepted a Kennedy Center honor from Trump last year, he is now distancing himself from the administration after previously calling him a "mythical character" at Mar-a-Lago.
- Stallone recently appeared at a New York screening for his Tulsa King Season project, maintaining focus on his career while asserting the Trump appointment was not something he knowingly signed up for.
