In “The Family Stallone,” a reality-TV programme that follows his life with wife Jennifer Flavin and children Sophia, 26, Sistine, 24, and Scarlet, 20, Sylvester Stallone is getting ready for his big break.
“Extra’s” Billy Bush sat down with the family, asking, “Whose idea was this?”
“Sophia and Sistine,” disclosed Scarlet, as Sophia continued, “I believe it originates from having Dad and Mom on our podcast…” People began approaching us and remarking, “You guys are so funny together.” This concept is excellent. They exhibited some hesitation.
“I’ve done pretty much everything, but not that,” Sly continued. Furthermore, they are single. We’re still here. It remains in the community. Let’s showcase our family’s insanity and create this the perfect home video. But as you start to realise that everyone has similar dynamics, you also realise that we are not all that different from other people.
Billy mentioned that the daughters like making fun of their father. To Sly’s amazement, Sistine even announced her false pregnancy, saying it was really her mother’s idea. “It was my idea, then it got a little bit out of control,” Jennifer stated. I didn’t believe Sly would truly believe it to be true.
Sistine explained, “I’ll tell you why he believed it — I thought if I told you on camera you would believe me and not be so mad.”
Sly said, “She teed me up.”Sistine recalled, “That’s when your face went white.”
Scarlet pointed out, “I have never seen him not talk.”
Jennifer added, “I thought he was going to have a heart attack, that’s why I really stopped it — he was getting so overwhelmed.”
Billy then asked, “When you look at your parents, what do you admire most about your mom?”
Scarlet said, “How kind she is and the heart she has for everyone. She sees the best in every single person.”
Sophia said, “Also, she’s the most hard-working. She has her own major company and raised a household including this child. So I don’t know how she balances it and still has time to sit home for dinner.”
Stallone teased, “I admire your teeth. They’re so white.”
Billy asked Jennifer, “How do you discipline Sly?… Do you give him the cold shoulder when he’s being a pain in the neck? Do you lock him in his room? Do you not feed him?”
Flavin insisted, “What I do, I give him a donkey kick.”
She went on, “I give him a good lecture, life lecture. And then he comes back to me and goes… ‘You’re right.’ I think I’m right 99% of the time.”
He added, “And I go upstairs and put on my dunce cap and watch morning news.”
Bush asked the daughters, “What do you admire most about your father?”
Scarlet said, “How on-point he is.”
Sistine shared, “I love his ability to light up a room and make everyone feel welcomed and loved. He knows how to make a room smile.”
Sophie said, “Also, I love how protective he is. That man will not let us get away with anything.”
Sly agreed, “That is true.”
Sophia added, “We are protected, he still calls us after dates, going… ‘Are you home yet?’”
Billy wondered, “Has a boyfriend ever kissed one of you in front of your dad?”
Sistine insisted, “That’s a death sentence. No, no. You’re asking for it then.”
Sophia said, “They sit away from us. It’s like the most awkward thing in the world.”
Sly added, “Like a leper.”
“The Family Stallone” premieres Wednesday on Paramount+.
