Sylvester Stallone, 70, has opened up about the possibility of him serving in Donald Trump's
administration as the chairman of the National Endowment of the Arts.
In a statement released on Sunday, December 18, the action star said
that he was "incredibly flattered to have been suggested to be involved
with."
However, the Rocky Balboa of the "Rocky" movie series added that he
believed he "could be more effective by bringing national attention to
returning military personnel in an effort to find gainful employment,
suitable housing and financial assistance these heroes respectfully
deserve." He didn't give further explanation on how he would help
service members, though.
was the first to report that Stallone was approached by Trump to take
the job in the federal agency. He was said to be pumped over the NEA job
after claiming that he's a longtime fan of the president-elect. The
publication went on to say that the action star previously spoke of his
admiration for Trump and of his interest in entering politics.
Rep for Stallone declined to comment. According to Gossip Cop, there was
interest in Stallone, but no formal offer was ever given to him.
Additionally, the actor and Trump didn't personally discuss him running
the top arts-related position in the latter's administration.
