Sylvester Stallone Turns 78 As His Rarely-Seen Daughter Pays Tribute On Social Media

Sylvester Stallone’s 26-year-old daughter, Sistine Rose, went all out for his 78th birthday as she penned a heartfelt tribute on social media. She shared beautiful memories spanning from her childhood with the screen icon to a recent shot of them playing golf together.

Captioning her snaps, Sistine called Stallone the “greatest” father, adding that she feels lucky to be his child. Stallone also received from well-wishers, including his former rival actor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who called him an inspiration.

Although Sistine is rarely seen relative to her celebrity parents and older sisters, she stars on their reality TV show, The Family Stallone, which gives a peek into their lives beyond the spotlight. Sistine, along with her siblings Sophia and Scarlet, admitted that Stallone is a doting father, which has become overbearing in their adult lives.

Stallone confirmed their claims, saying he hopes they remain spinsters for life and stay home with him and his wife, Jennifer Flavin. Sistine said dating has been difficult due to his intimidating demeanor, which likely explains why suitors never return after their first time over. In her words, he is as scary as he is protective.

Working at 78

As Stallone grows older, the question of his retirement becomes more prevalent. However, it appears the film legend has no intentions of leaving the spotlight yet. While promoting the much-anticipated Cliffhanger sequel at last year’s Cannes Film Festival, he confessed that he was considering retiring only to take on more work.

True to the accolade received from Arnold, who called him an inspiration, Stallone did pass on his flair for acting to Sistine, who made her debut in 2019’s 47 Meters Down: Uncaged. She has starred in a few productions alongside her modeling career that began in 2016. Sistine has worked with the likes of Chanel, Love Magazine, and Vogue, which promoted her as a “fresh face to watch out for” years back.
