Sylvester Stallone says he cannot retire due to daughter's wedding costs
Actor Sylvester Stallone has joked that he cannot retire because he needs to fund the upcoming wedding of his daughter, Sophia Stallone. During an appearance on ‘Live with Kelly and Mark’, the 80-year-old actor responded to questions about his financial contribution to the festivities by stating, ‘It’s almost embarrassing to say — but I can’t retire.’
Sophia Stallone, 30, announced her engagement to Michael Sheehan in late August. Stallone has expressed his approval of Sheehan, describing him as a ‘stand-up guy’ and an ‘extraordinary’ person who sought the actor's blessing before the proposal. The actor noted that while the transition to a new chapter in his daughter's life is emotional, he is pleased with her choice of partner.
