Stallone: Trump ‘second George Washington’

Tribute0 Comments

At an America First Policy Conference at Mar-a-Lago, Stallone introduces Trump by describing the opening scene of the first Rocky film where the camera pans down from a mural of Jesus inside an old church converted into a boxing gym as the character gets punched by his opponent, with the word “Resurrection AC Club” shown in the background.

At that moment, he was a chosen person and that’s how I began the journey. Something’s gonna happen, this man is gonna go through a metamorphosis and change lives. Just like President Trump.

When George Washington defended his country, he had no idea that he was gonna change the world. Because without him, you could imagine what the world would look like. Guess what? We got the second George Washington.

Sylvester Stallone interview

GQ interviews Stallone about any regrets he may have over the years.

Regrets? There’s tons. That is the fuel that keeps me going. It’s not success, it’s not money. It’s regret. I was on cruise control from ’85 to ’95, and it was my fault. There were a lot of self-inflicted wounds, when I was not doing any original material. I wasn’t directing. I wasn’t writing. That’s not who I am. I wish it was, it’d sure be a lot simpler, but it seems my fate is to be self-generating, produce my own films. I try to direct. That’s why I admire Eastwood. Started as an amateur and became an auteur. I’m sorry I didn’t adhere to opportunities presented, because I could’ve done so many things.
