One of the best Stallone interviews!

[@tonyjh]

Truly agree with that!

[@jamyla]

Stallone comes across as very perceptive and honest. He seems to have been true to himself and attained considerable wisdom. His authenticity is refreshing. Congrats on a life well lived!

[@clab5864]

I hope there are several seasons of Tulsa King. I am not one to watch episodic TV, but Stallone is so captivating in this series that I thirst for more every week.

[@AnonymousEponymousPodcast]

Sly is a very underappreciated national treasure (and despite the commercial success of his movie and creative career). He is insightful, intelligent, very relatable and candid with his emotions and thought process, and no one works harder on any project. The themes of his movies, his personality, life philosophy and work ethic have helped motivate and sustain me at very difficult times in my life. This man is irreplaceable.

[@lucasjonathan8108]

This is 1 of the Absolute Best interviews of anybody Ever. The depth of emotion not only portrayed in the shows and movies but also the clear respect for hard real life topics. And it isn't just a bunch of fancy words, it's an actual down right honest and humble conversation. They also elaborate on what exactly they mean in their answers. Very Very Well done

[@DylTyrril]

There isn't a single interview host that I can think of that can make his guests feel more at ease than Tom Power. Great conversation as always Tom! 👍

[@jarmangill5911]

Howard Stern is the greatest

[@edwardallan197]

He really got Sly to relax & enjoy sharing!

[@thatkid386]

I love Canadian interviews because Powers let the Guest talk without interrupting him . Powers asked about Stallone's art and that's all and we see Mr Stallone is enjoying the interview.

[@Kpictures_NYC]

I’ve always admired how smart and determined Sly is and remains so to his craft.

[@dillarddillard-p4e]

Stallone is an amazing actor and has so much presence in every movie. I HATE to see him be a bad guy in this show! He will always be a good guy in my mind - so much heart.

[@lindarumsey771]

Best actor I have ever seen and I am 79 years old

[@hollis1003]

I've seen many interviews with Stallone recently and this surpassed them all by miles. I'm not even a huge Stallone fan but the way this interviewer got him to open up about so much more than the normal Entertainment Tonight interview was brilliant. Great job, Tom Power!

[@Airriel333]

Incredible interview I cried Great host how he went deeper and Sly Gosh I love this actor even more NOW with this additional back story and those aspects he stands for in those characters n his films Touched my heart

[@ilyasakgul5596]

Great life lessons from a wonderful wise man. We love you soooo much Sly❤️

[@macgurrl]

I never laughed so hard watching the first episode. It had me from the get go and I can't think of any show doing that in a very long time. I can't wait for the rest of series.

[@OnlyUknow2]

Peacemaker for me

[@LissjanitaSande-j3u]

Hehe 😅

[@terracelady]

Rocky went the distance is just what he wanted so in reality HE DID WIN!!!!

[@fifthbusiness1678]

Quite a comment by Sly at the end there. “You’re very good.” And Tom Power has become just that - an excellent interviewer and host of Q. But he’s been that for a few years now. CBC must count their blessing, having had him to step up to the plate as a host of Q.

[@LissjanitaSande-j3u]

Money is not ewrything!!

[@Maximum1A]

What a great interview and connection between Sly and Tom P. Like to see Tom interview more actors!

[@mikeroberts9559]

I hope that I look as good as Selvester Stillion when I get that old I'm 61 work out and walk a lot and even sold my car to force myself to walk my health has improved keep up the good work and giving people advice on parenting Thank you and everyone else for supporting Mr. Stallion

[@ITSMZPOO]

STALLONE NEVER DISAPPOINTS! LOVE TULSA KING BUT PUT IT BACK ON BEFORE NOVEMBER- PLEEEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

[@doloresbowen5460]

My husband and I loved the show. Good stuff 💁🏽‍♀️ We are true Stallone fans. Thanks for being true to yourself. We benefit by you life experiences!

[@kurtlee3198]

[@ugluduck2]

" . . . but it depends how well you know yourself " 14:54 There is the essence of the fire inside for us to treasure every single day and never let go !

[@Donjasoni]

This interviewer did a great job!

[@meveevem1001]

Amazing interview ~ wonderful exchange to reveal perhaps the truest Stallone

[@brakesforsnakes757]

Now that is an interview! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@aaronbarrett2296]

That was one awesome interview. Job well done!!!

[@yellowraccoon786]

Really great interviewer here, which ain’t so common nowadays. One of Sky’s best interviews, esp in recent years imo 😤

[@robertottwell605]

I saw the first episode it was outstanding.

[@animatus]

Wow that was a great interview.

[@michaelmullin3744]

Incredible interview

[@christianmejia2272]

[@amansurya7709]

[@lisazinn866]

Great interview er

[@billjenney1271]

BEST show!!!!!

[@benzlyhypemovies]

Tom great job with this one day u will interview me remember my name.

[@monmixer]

Great show, I watched all 9 episodes so far and I don't watch tv normally aside of 90's comedies that were the best of course like 90's country music. Just right amount of rock and country. 90''s tv shows also just right mix of what ever at the time but those were good times. I was a young adult in 80's and 90's. Great times and so much better than today. I feel bad for the youth today. Things are just different and not in a good way.

[@scotland323]

Whatever you do you are the best We love you God-bless you

[@btimec5290]

He needs to write his life story. How he got started in so inspiring.

[@lindarumsey771]

Rocky rocks

[@jerryuma]

Me love Tulsa King

[@brianlacapra5916]

There really is no better actor, person and mind better than Mr. STALLONE. My favorite actor or inspiration of all time. 76 years young and he is bigger than he was in Rambo/ Rocky this guy is unstable

[@nasseralqasmi9031]

This guy not looks aging and one of the best action hero till date

[@johnbwill]

Beautiful.

[@captainplatinum]

Legend

[@dpepe416]

Finally Stallone getting his dues as a ACTOR. Hes the MAN!!!

[@mariaaparecidaandrade-ys1lm]

Que dia vc vai passear nas férias aqui no Brasil em lindo Stallone?😘😘😘

[@lind2592]

Mr. Sly is Relatable.

[@eetujh]

He was in a couple of episodes in TV-show called Las Vegas

[@wongsifu460]

sly ?

[@NewWorldDAO]

Yes

[@boxingstraighttalk6599]

Brilliant tulsa King

[@benzlyhypemovies]

my hero :))

[@J.R.Graham]

Great true story-book title,"Cowboy Mafia "🌿

[@officialwildcardadventures]

I loved Rambo the series and the fourth was the most realistic to me.

[@eddiecollins453]

Brilliant thanks

[@lorenzomontoya1260]

The host framing his own face with his hand is just too precious. Schmuck. But love Stallone

[@TheTruthfulAsshole]

Stallone's physique at his age is still stunning.

[@toddoaurello5177]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@bradmartel]

I can't tell if Tom is actually in the same room or not. I would think not based on the split screen but then one of the last things you see is the back of his head as he shakes Sly's hand. Tom, were you there? Why the secrecy? I must know!!!!! (Well, "must" is a strong word but it'd be nice lol)

[@Manperor]

ngl the entire time i was just thinking how the dudes teeth are yellower than corn kernels

[@spiritualED]

6:06 [Looking totally enthralled] Tom is the only guy I know that can fall asleep with his eyes wide open.

[@sisterspoof23]

1:58

[@michaeladams5332]

Way overpaid like all actors but such a nice guy for real

[@milkcarton6654]

When he talks of action guys that have no heart and never get hurt......... Steven Seagal? That's why his films are the worst. Even the early ones, you can't relate, he's just unlikable, you don't care of he lives or dies. That was the whole thing behind the success of Die Hard and the emergence of Willis as a action star., He was likable, and boy did he get hurt. These are always the best heroes.I mean sure, i do enjoy what a call an "unstoppable force" movie once in a while. John Wick. Neeson in Taken. Guys that just dominate through the film, but the best action films are always those when the hero can get hurt and also if he doubts himself. Even Rambo, we tend to see him as an unstoppable force, and yes but he does get hurt, tortured, etc. He's never presented as a guy that can't get hurt.

[@fredboat]

Enjoyed, Thanks. You get your money's worth from Stallone.

[@rebeccaslaney]

tom sounds very irish

[@NewWorldDAO]

Why does Facebook I got shark all over it

[@mr.p7616]

Sly unfortunately suffers from Rocky-ism and most directors we’re concerned his larger than life persona would have stolen the show. A distraction from the storyline. I get it.

[@wongsifu460]

Gee that voice, you know he's a man man not some soy boy

[@frankjgornickjr3676]

The young kid doesn't know what he's talking about! For your information young man the very first Rocky was not in movie theaters! It was on ABC television regular TV! With Sylvester Stallone waking up in the morning when he starts his training waking up in the morning starting his training you can hear Don cannon on the radio from PA. Get it right young man!

[@NewWorldDAO]

Sylvester Stallone is Claire gonna come to this parking lot right here right now and come pick me up

[@NewWorldDAO]

Yeah let Austin keep showing her what she hates me know Adam Put Me In Jail again

[@brianlacapra5916]

Did that nothing of an interviewer actually say your pretty good yourself... Sly really is modest and it would have been a joy to see him knock that little nothing on the ground for real or acting he was the least worthy person to interview Mr. STALLONE

[@franklee1205]

The major importance of NOT selling out...( 😏 hint to far left )

[@NewWorldDAO]

Yes you’re coming to pick me up now

[@NewWorldDAO]

I can’t use my way Grove I can’t use anything

[@NewWorldDAO]

Play are you coming to pick me up now

[@NewWorldDAO]

Yes no yes she’s coming to pick me up now

[@NewWorldDAO]

Are you coming to pick me up now

[@NewWorldDAO]

Oh Sylvester Stallone didn’t know where he was trying to kill men non yes so is he going to come pick me up and do the right thing for a Roni to go Yes Is Claires going to come pick me up

[@TRIPLEBPROMOTIONS]

Fantastic

[@omarakamaax]

YO adrien!

[@mikeodonnell6799]
