Sylvester Stallone blindsided by Trump naming him Hollywood ambassador

You don’t go in and tell six studios how to do things.""And Mel Gibson and Jon Voight, we’re kind of do-our-own-thing people.

No, it won’t work.”He noted, “I said thank you and ciao, because it’s impossible.

Hollywood works and it will evolve."Describing Hollywood as a soup of corporate world, Stallone added, "It’s corporate, and corporate people won’t want to hear me tell them about finance.”And most importantly, the Rocky Star said Trump's announcement blindsided him.“Well, it just happened.

I was watching TV one night, and they go, ‘So Stallone and Mel Gibson and Jon Voight will be,'" he recalled.“And I went, ‘What?’ I said, ‘Excuse me?

Really?’ Because if they had asked me in the beginning, I would have said, This is not possible."However, despite Stallone's resignation, he did not end up leaving the post.
