Sylvester Stallone describes family documentaries as ‘authentic’

Sylvester Stallone highlights the uniqueness of his family’s new docu-series!

The Stallones are no strangers to celebrity: their patriarch dominates the big screen with iconic roles and his wife Jennifer Flavin is a well-known figure in the fashion industry.

After starring in hugely successful films like ‘Rocky’ and ‘Rambo,’ the acclaimed actor has slipped into another role, this time as himself. The 76-year-old will star in upcoming series ‘The Family Stallone’ alongside his wife and their daughters Sophia, Sistine and Scarlet are the focus.

The show takes a unique approach as a docu-series rather than a typical reality show, offering an authentic look into her life. At the premiere on Wednesday, May 17, they spoke about the challenges of being in front of the camera, including the three-time Oscar nominee’s role in guiding his daughters through the ups and downs of their romantic relationships.

In conversation with ET’s Cassie DiLaurahe expressed his enthusiasm for the transition from the big to the small screen and acknowledged the opportunity to address her current prominence.

Flavin emphasized that nothing in the series was staged, thereby expressing her intention to avoid made-up situations. Mentioning that the show isn’t about excessive drama or artificial conflict, she explained, “I wanted to show people things that happen in real life.”

“The Family Stallone” viewers can expect a variety of experiences, including the award-winning star’s involvement in his daughters’ love lives. Sophia revealed that her father gives the best dating advice, while her mother revealed that he even writes her breakup texts.

He brazenly admitted his role, declaring: “Guilty. I’m a good writer.” However, his tendency to incorporate his famous catchphrase “keep punching” was noticed by Sistine, who revealed that she removed that bit from the news.

While they expressed confidence in the longevity of the series, they made it clear that they don’t aim to emulate the long-running Kardashian family reality series. They acknowledged the Kardashians’ success: “They did it right right. And it works for them, and there would be no point in copying them.” Sylvester explained that they care about authenticity, adding, “Because that’s who we are.”

“First Blood” star opens up about brief separation from his wife

Despite being one of the most enduring couples in entertainment, the couple surprised fans when Flavin filed for divorce last August, nearly ending their two-decade marriage.

A month later, however, they again stunned the public by reconciling. The explosion reported that Stallone subsequently shed light on the entire experience, which he described as a “very tumultuous period.”

They were reportedly facing a contentious legal battle over the division of their joint fortune. However, through private and cordial conversations, they were able to settle their differences.

In an interview with the (Sunday Times), the ‘Demolition Man’ actor noted that during this period he devoted himself to deep self-reflection and realized the importance of prioritizing his availability to his family over any other commitments.

According to (Yahoo), he explained, “There was a reawakening of what was more precious than anything, which is my love for my family. It takes precedence over my work, and that was a difficult lesson.”

Which led to the admired couple on the verge of breaking up, The Blast shared that the difficult time following Stallone’s purchase of a Rottweiler came shortly after their 25th wedding anniversary.

Though Dwight was meant to be an added layer of protection for their home, the real problem came when the “Cliffhanger” star got the dog tattooed to cover his wife’s face. This reportedly upset the model so much that she filed for divorce just a day after the ink was seen.

But what started as a point of contention turned into something heartwarming as the Rottweiler became a permanent part of the family and even his wife grew more and more infatuated with the canine companion, despite her initial reservations about the purchase.
