Sistine Stallone on Convincing Her Dad to Do ‘The Family Stallone’ – WWD

Untouched York is at all times a good suggestion — so idea Sistine Stallone previous this 12 months when she made an impromptu travel from her fatherland of Los Angeles.

“I feel like everyone always says the grass is always greener. We grew up in L.A. and we just wanted a whole life change, culture shock,” she says. “In your mid-20s everyone says now is when you have to do it. We just took that advice and ran.”

Between the unpacking and settling into her brandnew group of SoHo — the place folk observing has grow to be her favourite factor — she’s been busy debuting her population’s brandnew truth TV display, “The Family Stallone,” which follows the well-known population: Sylvester, Jennifer, Sistine, Scarlet and Sophia.

“It’s been really surreal,” she says of observing the display’s loose into the arena. “All of us were really nervous, mostly because we’ve never put anything out and we’ve never dealt with exposing our lives to this magnitude and dealing with what could possibly turn out to be a disaster, or deal with hate or backlash. I think the most surprising thing is the amount of praise and everyone really enjoying it. It’s been such a pleasure to hear people actually like the show and they see the authenticity coming through, and they like our family because it’s not like we’re reading a script, so if they don’t like it they don’t like us.”

Stallone says she used to be the motive force in convincing her population to do the layout (season two will likely be shot this summer time).

“We’ve always been approached as a whole family to do a reality show, probably since I was 12 years old. We were kind of a mystery because my mom and dad did a really good job at sheltering us as much as possible from the entertainment business. People didn’t really know us and they wanted to know us,” she says. “My parents were for sure hesitant, but it really wasn’t a hard sell. I think everyone was pretty much on board. I would say Scarlet, my youngest sister, was a little bit concerned about how that would affect her college life, being a normal college student and having to film while going to school. I think I was most surprised how on board my dad was. That was shocking to me.”

The cameras have captured the “scream talking” this is customary on the Stallone house, which Sistine likens to a zoo. 

“The family dinners that you see on TV is really how it is, and nothing is played up. I love that people get to see how just chaotic and wild and unorthodox we really are,” she says. “I think everyone has an assumption of what it’s like to come from a Hollywood home and have cameras in your home and be filtered and try to look a certain way. It’s like, ‘No, we really are that crazy. We’re really wearing stained sweatpants. We’re really as normal as anyone else.’”

The 24-year-old is popping her perceptible to Hollywood, and is in pre-production for a film she wrote, produced and offered to MGM, a few custom seniors at her highschool in L.A. launched into each 12 months — with a thrasher twist. The second one season of “The Family Stallone” will file her starting paintings at the film, one thing she says she’s excited to percentage with audience.

“It’ll be really special because this is my first time doing anything producing-wise behind the scenes. It’ll be nice to have my dad there for advice and me trying to figure it out on my own,” she says.

Film-making like dad is her flow center of attention, however she additionally hopes to at least one date observe in her mother’s footsteps and get started her personal trade. (Her mom has a skincare series, Critical Pores and skin Assist.) 

“She really knows how to sell. I would love to emulate her and start a business of my own,” Sistine says. “I know my sisters are the same way.”
