The ‘Rambo’ actor opened up about working with his daughter and how she got the job, fully admitting that his status helped move things forward much quicker than usual. The actor, in conversation with USA Today, shared that his daughter got her role on ‘Tulsa King’ because of nepotism.During the interview, he added, “First they go, ‘Nepotism is terrible,'” I said, “Oh please, you’re not a good parent if you haven’t performed a little nepotism. Then obviously you don’t care about your kids, because they come first.’” He continued sharing, “Of course it’s nepotism, you idiot. That’s why we’re parents. We want the best for our children. So obviously we let them have every advantage.'”Stallone further mentioned how his image and status helped his daughter get the role; it is up to his children and their talent to carry them to whatever they wish to achieve next. He concluded, “People will say, ‘She got that job; it’s too easy.’ You’re right. Perhaps it could be. But to maintain that, to be in front of millions of people, you either got it or you don’t.”
