So he decided to bring the sets to them.
His wife and daughters also gave insight on growing up on sets and which celebs they were starstruck by.
What were some of the hardest sets of being away from your family?
Do any of you have fun moments from visiting him on any sets?
But it [takes] a while when you get home to get reacquainted again.
It changes the whole dynamic and makes you really grateful.
Sophia Stallone:When we would visit him on set, it would be a giant playground for us.
Sylvester:They were raised on set.
Sistine Stallone:One of the best experiences was probably “Expendables” because there were so many explosions.
Sylvester:Oh my God.
Sophia:It was amazing.
Scarlet Stallone:I was going to say “Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over.”
We got all the gadgets from that.
Sylvester:It’s crazy.
This is how they were raised.
Jennifer Flavin Stallone:Also, you remember one time we got you a go-kart?
Sylvester:A go-kart, and you’re running it after the crew.
Jennifer:They used to ride … [and] run around.
Sylvester:Then she shaved her head.
Sistine:We’d have fun with the bodyguards on set.
Sophia:And you shaved our heads.
Sylvester:You shaved their heads.
Sophia:You shaved our heads.
Jennifer:We took all their hair off.
It was very hot.
Sylvester:They wanted to go native.
Has there ever been a moment where any of you were starstruck by someone that he introduced you to?
Jennifer:I was struck by Jimmy Stewart.
I met him probably 30 years ago.
Sylvester:A long time.
Sophia:I was starstruck by Guy Fieri.
Scarlet:That was so cool.
Guy’s going to be really flattered.
Sophia:He’s … my God.
You don’t understand.
All right, that was me.
Sylvester:He’ll be very happy when he hears this.
Jennifer:Who else?
You guys liked a couple of the cuties.
Scarlet:You’re going to throw me under the bus withLiam Hemsworth.
Sylvester:That was much bigger
Scarlet:That’s when I was younger, I promise.
Jennifer:And today.
Scarlet:Well, it’s possible for you to’t really blame me.
Sylvester:What about our new guy on “Tulsa King”?
Scarlet:Garrett Hedlund, right?
Sylvester:Garrett Hedlund.
Sophia:Don’t sell us out.
Jennifer:You’re not supposed to tell us about Garrett.
Sylvester:Garrett Hedlund is a new one.
Was there anyone you were excited to introduce them to?
Sylvester:No one.
I’m trying to keep everyone away, actually.
Sistine:He’s never introduced us.
Sylvester:Put bags on their heads like, “Stay away.”
Accelerating communication in reality TV
You guys mentioned that you all watch"The Bachelor"together.
Scarlet:Oh, yeah.
Sylvester:A lot.
Did that show or any other reality showinform your show?
Jennifer:All of them.
I can name them all.
Have any of these revelations affected how you interact with each other or [altered your] communication?
Sistine:No, everything’s pretty on point from off-screen to on-screen.
We’re very loud, and we’re [a] very opinionated family with each other.
We do love hard and all that, but the reality show accelerates everything.
You realize the camera’s on, so you’re able to’t help [it].
It’s like a racehorse at the gate.
You’re going to speak [and] to think a little faster.
You’re going to react a little bit quicker.
Sylvester:Because you feel obligated to.
The first two episodes of “The Family Stallone” are now streaming on Paramount+.
