The veteran "Rocky" and "Rambo" actor, his wife
Jennifer and their three daughters - Sophia, Sistine and Scarlet
- are following in the footsteps of other celebrity families
such as the Osbournes and Kardashians, in having cameras follow
them as they go about their daily lives.
"The Family Stallone", which premieres on Paramount+ this week,
features scenes of Stallone on set filming television series
"Tulsa King" as well as at home with his family. There are
celebratory moments as well as more intimate family scenes.
"So what you see here is what you get. This is what we've been
wanting to do for a long time, which is share our life a little
bit because it's entertaining," Stallone told Reuters in a joint
interview with Jennifer and their daughters.
"It also has a message that no matter what you have, we may have
all the trappings of wealth and we're very fortunate, we still
have the same issues and the same wants and the same needs and
the same requirements for love and so it's there for everyone to
see."
The family said the idea for the show stemmed from Sistine and
Sophia's podcast "Unwaxed".
"We've featured our whole family on it and everyone was so
shocked that they were just so funny and relatable and gave
great business advice," Sistine said. "I think people just kept
wanting to see more and more."
Asked about comparisons to hit show "The Kardashians", Stallone
said: "I think the Kardashians were brilliant in what they did
and very original, we're taking a different tack. But the main
thing is you don't try to copy someone. That's who they are, we
are who we are and that's what I think gives the audience a
variety."
