## Summary

Sylvester Stallone has defended casting his daughter, Scarlet Rose Stallone, in Tulsa King, saying openly that she benefited from nepotism. He argues that parents naturally want to give their children advantages, while the casting has renewed debate about family connections in the entertainment industry.

Scarlet Rose, 24, had little acting experience before joining the series as Spencer in 2022, and is reportedly set for a more important role in its fourth season, which premiered on 16 October. Stallone said family influence can open a door, but whether an actor can sustain a career depends on their ability. He also said he would consider combining human performance with AI for a Rambo sequel, despite expected criticism from creative professionals.
