Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone has never been one to shy away from the spotlight, and recently, he had some interesting things to say about President-Elect Donald Trump.
While introducing the President-Elect Donald Trump at an event at the Mar-A-Lago Club, Sylvester Stallone during his speech, said that Donald Trump is like the second George Washington. The actor spoke ahead of Trump the America First Policy Institute gala, praising the Republican victor and comparing him to his character in Rocky.
Sylvester Stallone opened his speech by recalling his 1976 classic film, reminding the audience of the movie’s beginning sequence where the camera pans out from a picture of Jesus onto Rocky Balboa being hit. “At that moment, he was a chosen person and that’s how I began the journey — something was gonna happen, this man was gonna go through a metamorphosis and change lives, “Just like President Donald Trump”.
When I first made Rocky, if you remeber the first image was a picture of Jesus and it said ‘Resurrection, AC Club’. I found a church that had been converted into a boxing ring. So the image pans down from Jesus on to Rocky being hit and that moment he was the chosen person, and that’s how I began the journey. Something was going to happen, this man was going to go through a metamorphosis and change lives. Just like President Trump.
He continued, “We’re in the presence of a really mythical character. I love mythology. And this individual does not exist on this planet. Nobody in the world could have pulled off what he pulled off, so I’m in awe. I’ll just say this — and I mean it. 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 got the second George Washington. Congratulations!”
Stallone did not endorse a candidate in the recent election, neither in 2020. However, in 2016, during his interview, he told that he was a fan of Donald Trump. “I love Donald Trump,” he said in a cover story for one of the prestigious magazine. “He’s a great Dickensian character. You know what I mean?. There are certain people like Arnold, Babe Ruth, that are bigger than life. But I don’t know how that translates to running the world.”
In 2018, during Trump’s first term as president, Stallone visited the Oval Office after making a personal appeal to get a posthumous presidential pardon for legendary boxer Jack Johnson. At the time, Stallone called Trump’s decision “incredible” and “a long time coming.”
