Sylvester Stallone has opened his house to a new reality series, and it appears to be our new obsession.
The Family Stallone was unveiled in February, offering fans a first-person look at the Rocky actor’s family life with his wife Jennifer Flavin, 54, and their three kids, Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlet.
In a new teaser for the upcoming Paramount+ series, the 76-year-old can be seen getting acclimated to a different connection with the cameras, one that is not related to his Hollywood career.
We definitely get a fresh perspective on the activity as he gets down on his knees to groom a family pet, with additional footage showing him on the set of Tulsa King.
‘I can’t believe you guys are actually doing a reality show…,’ he tells his daughters at one point.
Sistine, described as the ‘risk taker’ is having none of it, and hits back: ‘Who would’ve thought? You on TV, like this… You’re welcome.’
In another scene, she jokes: ‘It’s quite ironic that he’s the last person that wanted to do this reality show, yet he sees a camera and he’s like, “Am I in the frame?”’
We’re already living for these family dynamics.
Jennifer says that underneath all of the sarcasm is a lot of love, saying, ‘I know we’re insane, I know we’re weird, but we love each other so much!’
The eight-part series will launch on Paramount+ on May 17 in the United States and the following day in the United Kingdom.
‘After playing some of the most legendary characters in cinematic history, three-time Academy Award nominee Sylvester Stallone is ready to give cameras access to what he would consider the greatest role of his lifetime: dad,’ an official synopsis read.
‘This new series starring Stallone’s three daughters, wife and himself offers a seat at the table of one of Hollywood’s most famous families.’
The Family Stallone will also provide light on Sly’s marriage with Jennifer, which he briefly ended earlier year.
The couple married in 1997, but the model notoriously filed for divorce in August, ending their 25-year marriage.
They were able to sort things out and reconnect some weeks later, and they have been inseparable since.
In an honest interview with the Hollywood Reporter, the film legend said that their grievances will be included in the final edit.
‘Of course, it’s part of the show,’ he said at the time. ‘It’s the John Lennon thing: “Life is what happens when you’re making other plans.” Hopefully, you’re involved with people who understand the foibles of life and the fragility of it and how rare a real good relationship is.
‘Sometimes I put the work ahead of [my family], and that is a tragic mistake which won’t happen again.’
‘I thought it would be the ultimate home movie,’ he added of his decision to take part in the program. ‘This is a chance where I’m going to be with my kids under a work condition where they get to see me in action and I get to see them in action.
‘What you will see is the real truth. This is a great opportunity. I don’t look at it as stooping to conquer. But each time you go in a different direction, people go, “Oh God, you must be in trouble.” Just the opposite.’
The Family Stallone premieres on May 17 on Paramount+.
