“I went to Paramount, and said, ‘Can I be an extra in the wedding scene?’,” he told Empire Magazine during an interview in 2022.
“They said, ‘Yeah, we don’t know if you’re the type of guy.’ I go, ‘I’m not the type? To play in the background, hiding behind a f–king wedding cake?’”
Despite that rejection, Stallone went on to portray a character involved with the Mafia in Taylor Sheridan’s series “Tulsa King.”
Stallone’s fake “Godfather” trailer comes as he was named one of three legendary stars tapped by President-elect Donald Trump to be Hollywood ambassadors.
“They will serve as Special Envoys to me for the purpose of bringing Hollywood, which has lost much business over the last four years to Foreign Countries,” he wrote in part.
Trump added, “These three very talented people will be my eyes and ears, and I will get done what they suggest. It will again be, like The United States of America itself, The Golden Age of Hollywood!”
Stallone called Trump the “second George Washington” while introducing the 47th president at the America First Policy Institute Gala in November.
“We are in the presence of a really mythical character. Nobody in the world could have pulled off what he pulled off, so I’m in awe,” the actor said.
“When George Washington defended his country, he had no idea that he was going to change the world, because, without him, you could imagine what the world would look like. Guess what? We’ve got the second George Washington. Congratulations!”
