Sylvester Stallone Told Donald Trump Hollywood Special Ambassador Role Was 'Impossible'
Stallone said he never agreed to the role, while Trump also named Mel Gibson and Jon Voight as special ambassadors.
- Nearly two years after President Donald Trump appointed him as a special ambassador to Hollywood, actor Sylvester Stallone revealed he never explicitly agreed to the position.
- In January 2025, Trump announced the appointments on Truth Social, tasking Stallone, Jon Voight, and Mel Gibson to serve as 'eyes and ears' to bring back business lost to foreign countries.
- Blindsided by the announcement, Stallone told The Sunday Times he found the role 'impossible', explaining that Hollywood operates like 'feudal states' with separate kingdoms controlled by studios.
- Gibson was also surprised by his appointment but stated he would 'heed the call', while Voight held a press conference on Tuesday explaining he helped push Trump to develop federal film tax incentives.
- Although Stallone technically retains the Trump-bestowed title, he maintains he never formally accepted the role, and the White House did not respond to requests for comment regarding the situation.
