Sylvester Stallone is not a member of Mar-a-Lago.
The “Rocky” actor, who is 74, was spotted last month in the Palm Beach, Fla. Club and fed reports that he had recently joined as a member.
However, a representative from Stallone confirmed on Tuesday that he was only present as a guest for a fund-raising dinner.
“Contrary to media reports and rumors, Sylvester Stallone is not officially a member of the Mar-a-Lago Club,” Michelle Bega said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday. “He didn’t join the organization, he didn’t pay dedication money.”

The representative went on to say that the event Stallone attended that led to him being “falsely hired … as a member” of the club was a fundraising event to raise money for animal shelters.
Stallone’s representative did not immediately respond to Fox News’s request for comment.
Despite the confusion, Stallone’s visit to former President Donald Trump’s club over the weekend wasn’t his first. The Hollywood director and screenwriter was spotted in Mar-a-Lago in 2016, when he was photographed with Eric Trump at a New Year’s Eve party as documented by the Palm Beach Daily News at the time.
It was confirmed last week that the Rocky Balboa legend will not be appearing in the upcoming episode, “Creed III.”
