US President-elect Donald Trump has tapped veteran Hollywood action star Sylvester Stallone to take a role in his administration.

Stallone, 70, famous for his starring roles in the Rocky and Rambo films, has reportedly been approached for the role of chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, according to the Daily Mail.

The man who wants to "Make America Great Again" believes a high-profile Hollywood icon such as Stallone will help his administration make art great again, too.

The National Endowment for the Arts has an annual budget of more than $198 million to fund, promote and support a range of artistic programs.

In an interview with Variety earlier this year, Stallone praised Trump's "bigger than life" persona.

"I love Donald Trump," he said.

"There are certain people... that are bigger than life. But I don't know how that translates to running the world."
