American actor Sylvester Stallone declared his admiration for the new President of the United States, Donald Trump, calling him the new “George Washington”, this Thursday, November 14.
A strong parallel attempted by “Rocky”. Invited to speak at a gala organized by Donald Trump this Thursday, November 14 in his stronghold of Mar-a-Lago in Florida, American actor Sylvester Stallone praised the merits of the 47th president, newly elected on November 6 .
In front of many personalities, including Argentine President Javier Milei, the iconic Hollywood actor heaped praise on Donald Trump, calling him the new “George Washington”.
“When George Washington defended his country, he had no idea that he was going to change the world, because without him you can imagine what the world would be like. Guess what, we have the second George Washington, congratulations!”, he said, also saying he was “admiring” of this “mythical” character.
After this strong statement, Donald Trump and Sylvester Stallone greeted each other with an embrace on stage.
An existing friendship between the two men
Discreet about his choice during the American presidential election between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, Sylvester Stallone seems to have a significant friendship and admiration for the American president, which seems reciprocal.
In 2019, the head of state notably published on X a photo montage with his face on the body of Sylvester Stallone during the period when he played the boxer Rocky Balboa in the legendary saga.
This montage was seen as a response from Donald Trump to his detractors regarding his state of health, which was considered worrying.
