Sly Stallone Bringing the Action to TIFF 2023’s In Conversation With Series

TIFF just announced some major star power joining their lineup this year! None other than action icon Sylvester Stallone will be appearing as part of the festival’s popular “In Conversation With…” discussion series presented by Visa.

Stallone is a bonafide legend who has captivated audiences for over four decades with his iconic characters and blockbuster films. Who can forget him as underdog boxer Rocky Balboa or Vietnam vet John Rambo? Now Sly is set to sit down for an in-depth career-spanning conversation at TIFF.

The “In Conversation With…” series always features cinema greats reflecting on their acclaimed careers. Stallone definitely fits that bill with his incredible body of work on both sides of the camera. From writing and starring in Rocky to directing and bringing the Expendables crew together, his impact is undeniable.

And how cool is this timing? The Netflix documentary Sly covering Stallone’s life just debuted recently. So this TIFF appearance will be perfectly timed to dive deeper into Sly’s journey now that fans got the doc’s overview.

Visa cardholders can access special pre-sale tickets starting today before the public on-sale. But whether you have a Visa or not, this is one In Conversation event you won’t want to miss at TIFF 2023.

Let’s be honest – who hasn’t fantasized about throwing some mock punches on those Rocky steps in Philly? Or found motivation in the underdog story of an unknown actor-turned-writer rocketing to fame? Stallone’s films provide that timeless inspiration.

Now TIFF audiences will get to hear directly from the iconic star himself. We can’t wait to hear Stallone’s stories and insights! What are you most excited to learn from Sly at TIFF this year? Let us know in the comments!
