Sylvester Stallone says he did not explicitly agree to Donald Trump’s “special ambassador” role for Hollywood, despite being appointed nearly two years ago. In interviews reported by The Sunday Times, Stallone describes telling Trump the ambassadorship was “impossible” and that he would have rejected it if he had been asked at the outset.
Both outlets report that Stallone’s comments describe how the appointment occurred without his clear upfront consent. Deadline adds that Stallone characterizes the arrangement as one that “won’t work,” while Variety reports Stallone also refers to acknowledging the title briefly, saying he told Trump “thank you” before moving on. The reports frame Stallone’s disclosure as a clarification of his stance toward the appointment and what he understood before taking on the title.
