Sylvester Stallone just gave fans a good laugh, and this time it had nothing to do with throwing punches or blowing things up. Instead, he posted a behind-the-scenes moment from the set of Tulsa King, and the real star of the shot? His brother, Frank Stallone.
The viral moment on ‘Tulsa King’ set: What happened?
The photo’s everywhere now. One can see Sly’s brother, Frank, totally knocked out in a chair while filming goes on around him, dead to the world, not even a hint that he knows he’s about to become meme material.
Even with the intensity of a crime drama set, there’s always time to poke fun at your brother. Fans loved it. The comments filled up fast with people cracking up, calling it “relatable,” and just happy and excited to see Stallone in a more playful light.
‘Tulsa King’: What we know
‘Tulsa King’ itself is a big deal for Stallone. Hard to believe, but it’s his first time leading a TV series. Per Complex, the show, created by Taylor Sheridan, follows Dwight “The General” Manfredi, a New York mob boss fresh out of prison after 25 years, now sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to start over. There’s crime, drama, a bit of dark humor, and Stallone pulls it all off with the kind of presence only he brings. He’s said that the role feels personal with the whole idea of starting over, getting another shot at life.
The show has got greenlight for renewal and even spinning off into new stories.
All about the Stallone Brothers
Now, Sylvester Stallone is used to reinvention. He grew up rough and shot to fame with ‘Rocky’, a movie he wrote and starred in, which snagged the Oscar for Best Picture. Then came ‘Rambo’ and a string of action hits that defined a generation. Over the years, he’s done it all: action hero, writer, director, producer, and now, TV lead. Even in his late 70s, he’s still going strong, always finding new ways to surprise people, whether it’s on the big screen or streaming. Off camera, he’s known for his discipline, his sense of humor, and how close he is with his family, which you can see in that ‘Tulsa King’ set photo.
Meanwhile, Frank Stallone isn’t just “the brother,” either. He’s a musician, actor, and songwriter who made his own mark, especially in the ’80s, when his song ‘Far from Over’ became a hit. He’s written for film soundtracks, released several albums, and even acted alongside Sly a few times. It might look like Sly’s career is more like a giant tree, hard to match with, but Frank has carved out his own steady career, too.Get the latest entertainment updates from the Times of India, along with the
