Sylvester Stallone Felt Genuinely Depressed About His Age Filming This One Scene In Tulsa King

Sylvester Stallone, at the age of 75, began filming for the Paramount Plus crime drama series Tulsa King. During a particularly intense scene, he was harshly reminded of his age.

Stallone has a true rags-to-riches story, once living in a bus terminal but now reportedly worth around $400 million in 2024. He achieved this wealth through his work on the big screen, most notably with the Rocky and Rambo franchises.

As Stallone ages, he seems to be more open to television projects, as seen in his leading role in Tulsa King. However, he may struggle to maintain the same level of intensity he’s known for in his film roles due to his age.

Sylvester Stallone Was “Depressed” Because Of His Age In One Tulsa King Scene

The scene in Tulsa King that made Stallone feel his age involved a steamy moment, which he later admitted left him feeling “depressed” in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. In the series, Stallone plays the character Dwight Manfredi.

Dwight is an aging mobster who, after a long prison sentence, is tasked with rebuilding his Mafia family in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Feeling like an outcast, he decides to create The Manfredi Crime Family instead.

Things take a dramatic turn in the pilot episode when Dwight engages in a romantic encounter with a woman who is horrified to learn that he, like Stallone at the time, is 75 years old.
