Sylvester Stallone recently took to social media to address his fans about a fake trailer for “The Godfather Part 4” that has been making waves online. The 78-year-old actor shared a light-hearted post on Instagram, laughing off the video and stating, “What is going on? Lol this is definitely not to be taken seriously!”
The humorous post featured two images of Stallone, one where he is smoking a cigar, and another where he is holding a gun, signifying his tough-guy persona. Although the trailer was a fan creation, it quickly caught the attention of many, sparking excitement among fans who would love to see Stallone in a new installment of the classic film series.
The creator of the trailer clarified its purpose, explaining that it was intended purely for artistic and entertainment reasons, highlighting the use of various film techniques and technologies to bring their vision to life. Fans took to social media expressing their support for the idea, with comments like, “Actually it [could] be a great idea, why not???” and “That would be the greatest news!!!! Perfect!!!! Let it [happen].”
Interestingly, Stallone has a history with “The Godfather.” Despite not getting a chance to appear as an extra in the famous wedding scene, he has made a name for himself in iconic roles in series like “Rocky” and “Rambo.” He recalled a humorous encounter with Paramount where he requested to be an extra but was turned down. Nonetheless, Stallone successfully transitioned into significant roles, including his portrayal of a mobster in the recent series “Tulsa King.”
In addition to this buzz, Stallone is also in the spotlight for being named one of Hollywood’s special ambassadors by President-elect Donald Trump. Trump announced Stallone, along with other stars, as ambassadors alongside Jon Voight and Mel Gibson, aimed at promoting business within the struggling entertainment industry in Hollywood. Trump emphasized their roles as key advisors to help revive the industry’s fortunes.
During a recent event, Stallone praised Trump, likening him to “the second George Washington,” signifying the strong respect he holds for the president-elect. This kind of endorsement highlights the intertwining of Hollywood and politics, as Stallone steps into this new role while maintaining his connection to the film industry.
As the excitement around the fake “Godfather” trailer continues, fans remain hopeful that Stallone will grace the screen in more iconic roles in the future.
