While the initial idea of working with Jackson was daunting for Stallone, their collaboration evolved into a synergistic relationship.

Despite living just a hundred yards apart for nearly three decades, Stallone and Jackson had never worked together or even interacted much outside Hollywood events.

Reflecting on Careers and Seeking Meaningful Roles
Both Stallone and Jackson have experienced diverse careers, yet both now seek roles that offer more depth and personal significance. Stallone noted that as he and Jackson age, they value stability and creative development in their projects. He commented, “I guess he reached the point that I did; he’s done pretty much everything, but at this age in life, you want to be more grounded, have your own show, really flesh it out.”

Even with the ongoing success of “Tulsa King,” which stands as another triumph in Stallone’s career, he still reflects on his journey to stardom with a touch of disbelief and regret. He stated, “That journey — I wish I had been more aware. But you’re just trying to survive. You’re not even aware of the chaos around it, because I said, ‘I’ve got to do this.’” He emphasized the importance of going all in, without holding back.
