Sylvester Stallone Could Be Riding Into ‘Yellowstone’

Sylvester Stallone is currently preparing for his upcoming crime drama series Tulsa King to drop on Paramount+ later this summer, but he hasn't ruled out also making an appearance in creator Taylor Sheridan's other hugely popular TV show.

In an interview with ET, Stallone said he would "absolutely" be up for making an appearance in the Western drama Yellowstone, if it meant being able to act opposite his friend Kevin Costner, who plays John Dutton. "He's finally run into a guy who’s like, 'I’d just like to have a retirement home. Do you mind if I buy your entire ranch? I got an offer you can’t refuse,'" he joked. "That'd be great. Good man."

Stallone also elaborated on his working relationship with Sheridan, explaining that they originally met after he and his daughters got into barrel racing on horseback. "Taylor Sheridan was at the same barn and he hadn’t made [Yellowstone] yet," he said. "He was still acting and I think he was still doing Sicario, just on the cusp, and I thought, 'You know what, I’m going to do another Rambo, you want to write it?' He goes, 'No, I’m kind of busy on my own thing,' and then we got into a conversation. He ended up buying my daughter’s horse and then he bought a second one... but they are the earliest inception of his transition into being this megastar."

While a Yellowstone cameo is far from being confirmed, Stallone is looking forward to seeing the audience reaction to Tulsa King, in which he plays Dwight, a criminal who is released from prison and ends up being sent by his boss to run a criminal operation in the Oklahoma city.

"I've always wanted to play a gangster... I basically started off my career mugging everyone," he said, referring to his earliest screen roles as a thug in movies like Bananas. (Fun fact: he actually got rejected from that audition, but secured the part after squaring up to director Woody Allen and scaring the bejeezus out of him like a real-life mugger.)

"The personality is mine; I’m a gangster but I don’t change the way I talk," he continued. "You have your personality like the way you are right now.... You never see it coming. You don’t automatically become the stereotype gangster. That’s too obvious. You just be yourself."
