Sylvester Stallone is 80 years old, still headlining a hit TV show, and apparently still very aware of how much a wedding costs. During an appearance on Live With Kelly and Mark, the actor said his eldest daughter Sophia’s upcoming wedding is the reason he can’t step away from acting.“I can’t retire. I can’t retire, I’m serious,”he told Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, before joking that he offered to send Sophia and her fiancé Michael Sheehan to Las Vegas for a quick ceremony instead of a full-blown wedding. Sophia, 30, got engaged to Sheehan back in August, and Stallone shared that Sheehan asked for her hand while wife Jennifer Flavin played referee.
Work isn’t slowing down either. Tulsa King just launched season 4 and has already been renewed for season 5, and Stallone’s youngest daughter Scarlet, 24, plays Spencer on the show, which means the Stallone family is basically running a television dynasty at this point.
It’s a fun reminder that even Hollywood legends deal with the same stuff as everyone else: aging, family milestones, and sticker shock. The man can fight off entire armies on screen, but a wedding budget? That’s the real final boss. Would you take the Vegas offer or hold out for the big wedding?
