Sylvester Stallone dabbled into reality TV the past year with his show The Family Stallone. The show pulled the curtain over Stallone’s personal life including his relationship with his wife and three daughters. The show was a hit with his fans and a second season is scheduled to be released in February 2024.
When Stallone announced that he was venturing into reality TV, many questioned his motives and some assumed that the actor was doing the show for monetary gain. However, the actor dismissed the ideas and had an interesting answer about why he decided to show audiences a side of him that they hadn’t seen before.
Despite Feeling Moronic, Sylvester Stallone Did The Family Stallone For His Family
Sylvester Stallone‘s Paramount+ show The Family Stallone peeled back the layers of the actor that audiences have come to know over the years. The show presented the real Stallone, the family man who took care of his three daughters while maintaining a successful family life with his wife Jennifer Flavin.
In an interview with Sirius XM, the actor revealed that not all people were enthusiastic about him doing a reality show, with some assuming that he was financially broke. However, despite feeling moronic at times, his main goal was to show the pure love and respect that he has for his family. He wanted to let audiences know more about the real Stallone and how he functions as the patriarch of the family. He said,
“People go, ‘Why are you doing it, man? Have you hit bottom?’ I go, ‘No, you fool.’ I’m doing it because I love them and this is the ultimate home movie. I don’t want to do it when I’m at the bottom. We’re definitely not doing it for the money, we’re doing it for the companionship. And I want you to see how crazy it is living with all females. The girls come out fantastic, I come out as a moron,”
Audiences embraced the show and praised the familial dynamics within the family. The show will return with a second season on February 21, 2024 on Paramount+.
