When actor Zachary Levi endorsed Donald Trump before the election, he claimed he did so despite knowing that it would hurt his career.
And given the left-wing leanings of Hollywood elites, it’s easy to understand that fear.
But Sylvester Stallone made one comparison during a visit to Mar-a-Lago that left Donald Trump grinning from ear to ear.
“If I can change and you can change, everybody can change”
Hollywood has a history of blacklisting anyone who doesn’t fully support Democrats’ woke left-wing agenda.
Kelsey Grammer, Dean Cain, Kristy Swanson, Scott Baio, and Rob Schneider are just a small handful of talented thespians whose careers have dried up after coming out against political views that strayed from the radically woke worldview.
However, there are a select few who stand out as too big to cancel.
Clint Eastwood comes to mind, though he’s not all that conservative and is more of a centrist Republican with many socially liberal preferred policies.
Tim Allen is so talented and funny he keeps getting work despite his Christian and pro-free speech views.
And now, there’s Sylvester Stallone.
It’s long been understood that Stallone was likely to be the Right-of-center.
But now there’s no doubt about it; the mastermind who birthed both Rocky and Rambo is all-in on the America First movement.
“Every champion was once a contender who refused to give up”
Stallone was invited to the America First Policy Institute gala at Mar-a-Lago following President-elect Donald Trump’s 2024 Presidential election victory.
But Rocky Balboa wasn’t just there to sit and watch; he was presented the honor of introducing the President-elect.
And Stallone didn’t disappoint – going as far to compare Trump to both Rocky and George Washington.
“(Rocky Balboa) was a 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” Stallone began. “We are 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 – when George Washington defended this country, he had no idea that he was going to change the world. Without him, you could imagine what the world would look like. Guess what. We got the second George Washington. Congratulations . . . please welcome the President of the United States, Donald Trump, thank you.”
A rousing speech like that about the man the extreme Left deems “the evil Orangeman” would get a lesser talent cancelled.
“It ain’t about how hard you hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward”
But not Stallone.
Hollywood in Toto is reporting that Paramount Plus is attempting to extend its hit show, Tulsa King, for at least two more seasons.
Tulsa King has completed two seasons so far, so it’s seasons three and four that Paramount Plus is trying to secure.
The question at play is, can they secure the series’ biggest stars – none of them bigger than Sylvester Stallone.
That means, despite Stallone’s staunch support for Trump, Paramount Plus is throwing stacks of cash at him to keep the Taylor Sheridan-created show alive.
If you haven’t seen it yet, the series follows Stallone’s character, a mafia underboss fresh out of prison who relocates to Tulsa, Oklahoma to set up shop.
It’s a classic fish-out-of-water tale with a fun twist.
Along with Stallone, Tulsa King stars Andrea Savage, Garrett Hedlund, Dana Delany and Neal McDonough.
