El actor, 75, shared with Entertainment Tonight at the U.K. estreno de “Rey de Tulsa” que está emocionado de asumir el papel de Dwight “El general” Manfredi.

He added that his character’s next assignment is to run Tulsa in “a different world, different kind of people, and he starts to become indoctrinated into the Western sort of life. Asi que, it’s a combination of the two. It’s a dark comedy, but also it can get rough.”

I played with the worst horse on the planet, but I learned and eventually after I made money, I started to go into… barrel racing. It’s very, very delicate, and I brought my daughters into it and Taylor Sheridan was at the same barn, and he hadn’t made it yet,” Stallone said.

“He still acting and I think he was still doing ‘Sicario,’ just on the cusp, and I thought, ‘You know what, I’m going to do another ’Rambo’, you want to write it?'”
Stallone continued: “He goes, 'No, I’m kind of busy on my own thing,’ and then we got into a conversation. He ended up buying my daughter’s horse and then he bought a second one… but they are the earliest inception of his transition into being this megastar.”

“You’re probably going to see, para bien o para mal, who I am,” Stallone said.
“A lot of actors go into, who should I morph into? I think if you just say what happens — what would it be like if Sylvester Stallone… just became a gangster? The personality is mine; I’m a gangster but I don’t change the way I talk… You have your personality like the way you are right now… You never see it coming. You don’t automatically become the stereotype gangster. That’s too obvious. You just be yourself.”
